Is your diet restricting your longevity journey? You might be eating ingredients every day that silently shave years off your life. A major analysis from UK Biobank data has identified several common food additives that may be linked to reduced lifespan, highlighting growing concerns about ultra-processed food (UPFs).
By paying closer attention to the additives in your diet and choosing foods that fuel rather than hinder your health, take an active role in shaping a longer, more vibrant life. Longevity is built one choice at a time.
When we think about healthy eating, we often focus on the ingredients: more vegetables, less sugar, good fats. But what if the way we cook those foods could be just as important?
A recent study looked at how different cooking methods influenced the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs). These compounds build up in the body, fuelling oxidative stress and inflammation that accelerate aging.
The good news? Everyday kitchen choices make a difference.
By being mindful of both what we eat and how we prepare it, we can reduce a hidden source of stress on our bodies and support long-term resilience, energy, and healthy aging.
