Worst Foods for Blood Vessels that Can Cause Dementia, Stroke, Heart Disease, and Chronic Inflammation

I will tell you about the worst blood vessel foods that cause dementia, stroke, heart disease, and chronic inflammation. Food is one of the most important factors in health. Among the foods we eat, there are foods that negatively affect blood vessels. We will find out why it is bad for blood vessels and can be the root of all diseases, and we will also find out how to prevent it and what kind of supplements are good to take.

1. What is Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs)?

Let's first find out what Advanced Glycation End Products are. When sugar and protein are combined under heating or at a certain temperature, it is called Advanced Glycation End Products, or AGEs. AGEs are called glycoxtoxins or sugar toxins, and they are substances that react without the need for an enzyme reaction when sugar and protein meet, and they enter our body through two pathways to induce toxicity.
 
The first pathway is through the food we eat. When meat is heated directly over a fire at a temperature of 120 degrees Celsius or higher, not boiled in water, but grilled directly over a fire, it mainly comes from such food. When sugar and protein combine in a state of high heat, the glycated protein that induces toxicity becomes a problem.
 
When grilling, it develops a slightly browned color and a savory aroma, but when this reaction occurs, a lot of AGE sugar toxins that induce toxicity in our body are produced.

2. Hardening Process

When we eat a lot of sugar or when sugar floats around a lot in our blood vessels due to insulin resistance, the body temperature, proteins in our body, and circulating sugar combine to produce Advanced Glycation End Products. Sugar toxins are created and enter our bodies through two reactions, external and internal, and exert toxicity in our bodies.
 
These sugar toxins are absorbed in our intestines after entering our body, and it is known that about 1/10 of the ingested amount enters our body. These sugar toxins bind well to proteins, making them less flexible, which is easy to understand.
 
Sugar toxins are absorbed in our intestines, float around in the blood vessels, and bind to blood vessels, hardening them. This hardens blood vessels in organs such as the brain, eyes, and heart, causing inflammation and oxidative reactions, leading to various diseases.
 
Therefore, if oxidative and inflammatory reactions continue to repeat, this AGE sugar toxin acts as one factor that can ultimately become the root of all diseases. It also triggers aging, as proteins are abundant in the skin layer, and there is data that it binds to the skin layer and triggers wrinkles.

3. Harmful Foods

Let's find out which foods contain a lot of it. In general, even with the same ingredients, the production of sugar toxins is much less when boiled or steamed, and foods made by frying in oil or grilling directly over a fire produce up to 100 times more sugar toxins than boiling or steaming.
 
In particular, bacon grilled directly over a fire is the worst, followed by chicken and steak. These are really bad. There is no standard for how much AGE to consume or how little to consume.
 
In conclusion, bacon is close to garbage. It would be best to avoid eating bacon altogether. Bacon is also known to contain carcinogens and has a very high sodium content, making it unhealthy. As mentioned, it is ideal to wrap or steam it, and it is good to avoid grilling directly over a fire or frying it in oil.
 
And we need to reduce our fructose intake, which is abundant in beverages like Brink, fruits, juices, ice cream, and sweets, and this fructose or sugar produces a lot of Advanced Glycation End Products in our body.
 
And now, we need a process to improve our body's insulin resistance sensitivity through intermittent fasting and prevent the blood sugar levels from rising. Another way is to avoid foods with high GI (glycemic index) that can raise blood sugar levels.

4. Supplements that Help

What supplements help? In general, you can see two classifications. The first is to promote the consumption of sugar in the body and increase insulin sensitivity so that sugar does not float around excessively.
 
Supplements that inhibit oxidative reactions, suppress the production of Advanced Glycation End Products, and prevent damage to our bodies caused by Advanced Glycation End Products, these two categories exist. In this channel, dietary fiber that inhibits sugar absorption and the gut environment are important.
 
So, there's a way to consume a lot of beneficial probiotics, and then it's good to set up a combination of omega-3, magnesium, and vitamin B that improves basic insulin resistance. And it's good to build up antioxidant components to prevent oxidative damage to our bodies and prevent damage.
 
In summary, if you supplement with basic omega-3, magnesium, vitamin B, dietary fiber, probiotics, and antioxidants, it can help with this, and it may be much more helpful to correct your lifestyle and pay attention to what you eat rather than relying heavily on supplements.
