Advanced Glycation End Products Cause You to AGE!

Advanced Glycation End Products

In the battle to slow the aging process you need to take aim at Advanced Glycation End products commonly referred to in the scientific community as AGEs. This article will help you understand how AGEs are formed , what impact they have on aging, and how they contribute to degenerative diseases. To start we need to focus on proteins and sugar.

Proteins are formed from amino acids and are essential for life. They serve two critical roles.

First, they provide structure for the body. One such structural protein is collagen, which accounts for approximately one third of your body’s total protein. It’s found in skin, muscles, organs and vascular structures. And it provides elasticity and cohesion to these structures.

Second, proteins provide function in the form of enzymes that enable all life-sustaining biochemical reactions to occur within your body.

Sugar is a simple carbohydrate. It provides energy for your cells.

When properly controlled, proteins and sugars can interact without causing any damage to the body.

What are Advanced Glycation End Products?

As you age your structural proteins are damaged by a process known as glycation. This process is an uncontrolled, non-enzymatic reaction between proteins and sugars to significantly alter the structure and function of proteins.

In this process a sugar molecule attaches itself to a protein molecule resulting in the formation of a non-functioning glycated protein called Advanced Glycation End products or AGEs. Research over the last 30 years has implicated AGEs in most of the diseases associated with aging like: Read More →

Topical Peptides For Youthful Skin

Peptides For Youthful Skin

Twenty years ago the idea of topical peptides for youthful skin was just an idea. Fast forward to today and the use of topical peptides for youthful skin is a reality. This article will help you understand what peptides are and how they can be used to reverse the aging of your skin.

There are three main factors that damage your skin. They are:

  • Sun Exposure
  • Air Pollution
  • Advanced Glycation End Products or AGEs

Most people understand how sun exposure and air pollution can potential damage your skin. What is poorly understood are AGEs. These form when glucose attaches itself to protein and fats resulting in a very destructive molecule that ages your body.

I’ll do a separate article on AGEs but understand that the standard American diet creates these Advanced Glycation End Products that cause our skin to age faster than it should.

Topical Peptides for Youthful Skin

Peptides are naturally present in young skin. And as we age these peptides decrease in number.

Peptides are fragments of proteins and are made up of amino acids. When these peptides are combined in certain ways, they make specific proteins that are needed to promote growth, organization, and maintenance of your skin cells.

Over the last 20 years scientists have discovered specific peptides called growth factors. Growth factors work to repair and reverse aging and environmentally damaged skin.

Here’s work they work: Read More →

CoQ10 Benefits Your Skin

CoQ10 Benefits Your Skin

New research is showing that CoQ10 benefits your skin. In one of my previous articles about CoQ10 I showed how this critical molecule helps with:

  • Heart Health

  • Brain Health

  • Metabolic Function

  • Kidney Function

  • Bone Health

Now I want to help you understand how CoQ10 benefits your skin. It all centers on what is called the mitochondrial theory of aging.

CoQ10 and Mitochondrial Theory of Aging

Within every cell are mitochondria. Mitochondria are the batteries or power generators. They convert the stored energy of the nutrients you consume into an energy form that your cells can use to perform their function.

This energy source is called adenosine triphosphate or ATP.

As we age our mitochondria are damaged. The three main causes are oxidative stress, toxins, and inflections. This damage then reduces the energy production of the mitochondria.

Our mitochondria become less efficient in processing our food resulting in less ATP. This results in less energy for the cell to carry out its normal functions. And here is where CoQ10 can help. Read More →
