Welcome back to my channel,

and ever since I told you guys that I was 30, you guys freak out,

and I got so many comment on it, some of them completely hilarious,

but I definitely owe you guys some anti-aging tips and what I discovered recently,

re.. literally blew.. rea-literally, literally brew ugh.. oh my god,

literally blew my mind,

because this isn’t something I ever learned in school and my parents never told me this

it’s is one of the most awesome anti-aging tips I ever found out in my life, and is not skin care

I always been a firm believer that what you put inside your body has a bigger effect on your skin

and your overall health than what you put on top,

although a good skin routine is super important, I may stress really really important

looking young and looking gracefully has a lot to do with what you put into your body

and what I recently realized, bacon could actually be giving me wrinkles,

other things that I’ve been putting into my body have also been very bad for it,

I actually didn’t even know until I started reading this book called ‘how not to die’ is a New York Best Seller

I highly recommend it, I am gonna explain more about in the description box and link it for you guys

what I read on it rea-literally change the way I look at my food

I’m actually really excited I could share this over 900,000 thousand of you guys,

oh my god our family has grown and if you guys haven’t joined, click the subscribe button

and I post 2 videos a week, you’ll get notifications

at the end of the video,

I am gonna be giving you some super easy ways to incorporate this new diet in your life style

because I am lazy and if I can do it, I am sure you can.

What I just discovered in this book is that the amount of AGEs in your food

can actually affect the aging process, whether you get wrinkles,

and high levels of AGEs can also promote insulin resistance,

which is hand in hand with things like diabetes

and it makes it harder for you to lose weight,

and AGEs stands for Advanced Glycation End Products

is kind of like a very perfect acronym

because it spells AGE and it helps with anti-aging, meant to be.

What AGEs does is it actually increases the oxidizati… the oxidization and that is bad for aging

because antioxidants reduce oxidization and keeps us looking young, where oxidization does the opposite.

Foods with high levels of AGEs can actually increase oxidization levels

to a point where your body can’t handle it

it increases inflammation and basically it just ages you and it could age you prematurely

if you are consuming too many AGEs.

Some of the most innocent things you eat on your plate has crazy amounts of AGEs

so bacon that has been microwaved for 3 minutes has over 90,000 AGEs

and canned corn has 195 AGEs so the difference in just like food choice is incredible

the other thing I discovered that was crazy is that even the same food items

can have a huge difference in AGEs just depending on how you cook it

So chicken that has been fried by 8 minutes has over 73,000 AGEs

but if you take the exact same chicken and boil it for an hour, there is only a little over 11,000 AGEs

you can even eat the exact same food and cook it differently

and you can vastly reduce the amount of AGEs you consume

in general fruit and veggies have low levels of AGEs

and fats, sugars, processed foods, and meat have higher levels

cooking methods with high levels of moisture such as steaming, boiling,

cooking at low temperature, like stewing and slow cooking it reduces the amount of AGEs

cooking methods that are really dry and really really hot like over 300 degrees

can actually dramatically increase the amount of AGEs

things like frying, grilling, barbecuing, baking,

goodbye barbecues forever, so long

and one thing to know is that even if you fry or cook vegetables and fruits

in these really high temperatures and dry methods

it actually doesn’t increase the amount of AGEs that badly

compared to foods with high fat or sugar content such as meat

and I wanted to take you guys to brunch

to show you how I changed the way I eat after finding out this information

I love going to cafes with my fiance,

how like eating lower AGEs actually doesn’t affect your enjoyment of food

we are heading to a healthy food cafe

I try and pick dishes that are legumes, vegetables

and if you feel like something meaty you can consider mushrooms,

avoid a lot of cheese and bacon and sausages are super high in AGEs

ask them to substitute the meat with something else if you can

we got a spoon

got it all over my hands ~laughs~

you know is not as fatty as normal nachos in terms of the meat,

there is not much oil, is all vegetarian, no cheese, chip tomato mince

and I feel like they are baked and not fried, is really good.

think poached eggs instead of fried eggs,

poached chicken instead of fried chicken or roasted chicken

and also look for things that are raw instead of baked or roasted,

when I go out now I try to look for cafes that have the words like whole foods or even like vegetarian cafes.

Have the choice of picking the healthiest thing from the menu even if you can’t pick the restaurant.

so as I mentioned before a really quick and easy way to reduce the amount of AGEs is in your food

is actually to change the way you cook things try steaming things more often,

going to restaurants with steam foods, boiling food, we use a slow cooker,

instead of using the high heat on your stove, turn it to low heat and cook it a little bit longer

also avoid things like burn bits, crispy bits, they can actually increase your AGEs dramatically

and they are actually not that great for you

if you avoid burning your food that can save you a lot of AGEs,

so if you do have to have barbecues, marinating these meats in a citrus based kind of marinade

like lemon or lime can actually reduce vast amounts of AGEs once you cook it

so I hope that this little gem of information inspires you to change the way that you eat

so that we can all be vampires

living a healthy lifestyle low in AGEs can actually reduce a bunch of diseases

like heart disease, diabetes, alzheimer’s disease, and kidneys failure

there is no harm in changing the way you eat

key bonus is that we get wrinkles a lot later in life

and I think a really fun exercise

would be for you guys to list 1 kind of food substitution change after listening to this video,

so are you gonna replace you know fried chicken with boiled chicken?

I love to know what your tips are and I’m sure you guys will inspire other people to make changes

reducing AGEs is only of course a small component of a healthy lifestyle

I got a whole playlist of diets and sort of exercise tips on my channel

so I’m gonna link that down below in here for you guys

I went through a huge weight loss phase, where I tried to become healthier

so don’t forget that I love you guys so so so much,

and I’ll see you guys right back here in a couple of days

bye
