Russia (bbabo.net), - Nutritionists have listed products that accelerate the aging of body cells. What eating habits should be abandoned in connection with this, according to Eat This, Not That.

So, in the first place among the most harmful eating habits, experts put the use of processed foods. These foods typically contain huge amounts of refined carbohydrates, added sugar, and dangerous fats, which are the end products of increased glycosylation. Glycosylation end products are formed when sugar combines with fat or protein and can harm the gut microbiota, says dietician Trista Best. In particular, they can accelerate the aging process of the skin and also increase the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.

Equally harmful is too much added sugar in the diet. Sweets in unlimited quantities not only accelerate the aging of the body, but also increase the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. The publication cites the results of a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Dietetics, which showed that addiction to added sugar in processed foods exacerbates asthenia in older people, which manifests itself in increased fatigue.

The lack of fiber and prebiotics in the diet also negatively affects the body. However, both can be easily replenished by eating foods such as oats, legumes, lentils, spinach, blueberries, asparagus, apples, pears, almonds, seeds, and garlic.

Earlier it became known that scientists compiled a meta-analysis of scientific studies on the relationship of nutrition with life expectancy. Based on they received, they developed a ration calculator. For example, if the average 20-year-old American woman revises her diet towards healthier foods, then her life expectancy will theoretically increase by about 10 years. If the average American thinks about proper nutrition at age 80, then his life expectancy will increase by 3.4 years.
