Intro:- Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs) are a growing area of interest in chronic disease management. These modified proteins and lipids arise from non-enzymatic reactions between reducing sugars and amino groups. While AGEs are formed endogenously, dietary sources significantly contribute to their overall body burden. This article explores the impact of dietary AGEs on patient health and provides practical recommendations for its management.
Dietary Sources of AGEs:- Processed Foods: -Commercially prepared foods often undergo high-heat treatments (frying, grilling) and contain significant amounts of sugars, both of which promote AGE formation. Reheated Foods:- Reheating pre-cooked or processed meals further increases AGE content. High-Sugar Diets:-Chronic hyperglycemia, a hallmark of diabetes, accelerates AGE production within the body. Impact of Dietary AGEs:- Microbiome:-…
