How to resist glycation?

We all know that sugars are essential nutrients for the human body and an important source of life-sustaining activities. So why do we have to be anti-sugar?

What is saccharification

Glycation refers to the combination of protein (including collagen) and sugar in the human body, causing the protein to undergo qualitative change, yellowing, brittleness, or even breakage. The saccharification reaction damages the human skin irreversibly. When the collagen in the dermis is saccharified, the elasticity of the collagen fibers will decrease, resulting in the loss of skin tension, which will cause skin problems. Under the saccharification reaction, the skin will face sagging, wrinkles and pigmentation.

The hazards of saccharification

Sugar can also stimulate male hormones, leading to excessive secretion of sebaceous glands, causing inflammation. This is our common acne. Even too much sugar will generate "AGEs" in the body, which grow and accumulate with age. Moreover, we can only prevent and reduce the chance of it happening. Because this is irreversible! Glycation reaction can even lead to the occurrence of various diseases, such as diabetes, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, kidney disease, weakened immunity, etc.

How to resist glycation

So how do we fight glycation daily? The key is to achieve a balanced diet, regular work and rest, and appropriate exercise.

1. In terms of a balanced diet, we can increase the intake of fiber and protein, reduce the intake of sugar in an appropriate amount, and eat less baked and fried foods. The human body needs about 30-40 grams of sugar every day, try to avoid excessive intake of sugar. If you have a portable blender at home, you can also make some vegetable juice by yourself. However, we should reduce our intake of juice made with juice blender, which contains a lot of sugar.

2. In terms of regular work and rest, only if we ensure adequate sleep can most of the body's tissues be in a good state to resist AGEs. Staying up late will aggravate the glycation reaction of the skin.

3. Develop a good habit of exercise. And through proper exercise, it can help us lose fat and increase muscle content, which is conducive to reducing the level of AGEs in the body. Exercise is a good thing for physical and mental health. Long-term exercise can improve glucose and lipid metabolism, and it can also effectively reduce and alleviate the glycation reaction and the damage caused by the glycation reaction.

If you are busy at work and don't have time to go to the gym, a home pedal exerciser can solve this problem. The pedal machine enables the bodybuilder to repeat the action of climbing stairs, strengthen the function of the cardiovascular system, and exercise the thigh and calf muscles. Moreover, the price of the portable pedal machine is cheap, exactly it is loved by many people. For people with a small room, the exercise peddler is small in size and easy to carry, making it a good choice for many home fitness enthusiasts. In addition, some yoga enthusiasts can also use workout wheel to achieve their fitness goals. The exercise roller wheel has good injury recovery and rehabilitation functions.

Do you understand the dangers of saccharification now? Anti-glycation is a thing that requires long-term persistence, we need to take action now. How about trying anti-glycation by exercise bike peddler first?
