How to control diet to prevent saccharification?

(1) Reducing sugar load: energy restriction-to be precise, limiting excessive sugar intake can significantly reduce saccharification and prolong life, which has been confirmed in animal experiments. Many baked, baked and fried foods contain AGEs, which can enter the blood circulation and may induce inflammation, free radicals and damage (its effect may be similar to eating too much sugar). Danby attaches great importance to steaming and cooking in oriental diets because of their low AGEs content.

(3) Eating foods that help to resist saccharification. Studies have found that some foods can help prevent saccharification. At present, cinnamon, alfalfa, oregano and allspice (a spice mixture similar to allspice powder) are known to prevent saccharification caused by fructose. Other substances that can help inhibit saccharification include ginger, garlic, α -lipoic acid, rosemary, marjoram, carnitine, taurine, carnosine, flavonoids (including quercetin, rutin [1 1], red grape skin extract [12]), thiophanate, gardenia and olive leaf extract. Oral pyridoxamine (an isomer of vitamin B6) can significantly inhibit the glycosylation reaction in the skin.

In vitro experiments show that many antioxidants and vitamins can inhibit the glycosylation of serum albumin (including vitamins B3, B6, E, C, B2, sodium selenate, selenium-enriched yeast, magnesium and zinc). The anti-glycation effect of vitamin C and green tea extract has been supported by human clinical experiments and animal experiments, and the anti-glycation effect of blueberry extract has been confirmed by experiments of diabetic patients. Animal experiments have found that α -lipoic acid can inhibit the saccharification of rat tendon [8] (the main component of tendon is collagen).

Mio Hori et al. [14] published an article in the journal Anti-aging Medicine, and found that drinking some herbal tea can reduce skin age, including persimmon leaves, Barnabas (Lagerstroemia speciosa), Dendrocalamus, raspberries and so on. After applying the extracts of these four plants to the skin for four weeks, the age in the skin also decreased and the skin elasticity increased, indicating that they have anti-glycosylation effect.

(4) The diet should be balanced. Simply put, you have to eat everything. The study found that vegans have more age in their blood, while people who eat everything have lower age. Presumably, this is because the food of vegans contains a lot of fructose, which can actively produce AGEs[9], which has been confirmed in animal experiments [15].
