Find out what AGE-related news has been posted recently on the AGE Foundation’s website
AGE Awareness Day may have happened last June 21, but that doesn’t mean it’s okay to forget all about advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) until next June 21! Glycation is an important health issue that is gaining more and more recognition, and the AGE Foundation is doing its part to increase awareness.
You can keep tabs on the AGE Foundation by visiting its website, and by following its Twitter account and Facebook page.
If you haven’t been following the AGE Foundation lately, here are some of things you’ve missed:
Skin Inc. highlights the relationship between AGEs and skin quality
A publication for the professional skin care industry, Skin Inc. recently addressed AGEs in multiple articles.
The first article (“Clients With Tired, Puffy Eyes? Top Tips to More Youthful Eye Contours!”) urged skin care facility owners and managers to help clients reduce the amount of AGEs in their diets in order to reduce inflammation and thus improve the quality of their skin.
The next article (“What Does ‘Antiglycation’ Mean?”) explained the connection between glycation and a variety of skin disorders, and suggested that skin care professionals should have a working knowledge about glycation, in addition to discussing their clients’ lifestyles with them.
Lower AGEs to look and feel younger, media says
Gathering articles from the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and South Africa, the AGE Foundation demonstrated how widespread and prevalent AGE awareness is.
Several of these articles addressed how lowering AGEs can help one look younger, while another article stated that limiting AGE intake can help ease joint pain from osteoarthritis.
Australian website says avoiding AGEs helpful in fight to stay youthful
In its article “How to stay youthful, inside and out,” Australian women’s news and lifestyle website Daily Life said that boosting our health on the inside can improve how we look on the outside.
One method the article gave for boosting one’s health and having younger-looking skin is to reduce the AGEs in our diet. That includes cutting back on food that is baked, fried, toasted or high in animal fat, among other things. As an alternative, the article recommended a Mediterranean- or Japanese-style diet.
AGEs may be responsible for causing peanut allergies
AGEs have been linked to a large variety of health issues, and now it appears that they may even be responsible for some food allergies, according to an article titled “Browned off” that appeared in The Economist.
The article was written about an Oxford University study in which mice were found to be more likely to develop a peanut allergy in response to dry-roasted nuts than in response to raw ones.
While the West and East Asia usually have similar food allergy statistics, peanut allergies are much more common in the West. The study claimed that this may be because dry roasting is much more common in the West than in East Asia. Dry roasting creates AGEs, and Oxford University researchers believe those AGEs can trigger peanut allergies.
Scientists confirm high-AGE diets lead to health problems
Scientists in Belgium conducted a review and confirmed that AGEs contribute to various health issues, according to a Food Consumer article (“Advanced glycation end products linked to chronic inflammation”).
The online food, diet and health news outlet noted that some of the health issues attributed to a high-AGE diet are chronic low-grade inflammation, as well as the increase of aging-related diseases like muscle wasting, kidney disease and diabetes mellitus. However, the article also noted that limiting the intake of AGEs may decrease inflammation and chronic diseases related to inflammatory status.
