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.
The foods you eat do more than just fuel your body - they shape the trillions of microbes in your gut that interact closely with your immune system.
A recent study explored how plant-based fibre and fermented foods both play unique roles in influencing this gut-immune connection.
Why do some people thrive under pressure while others feel overwhelmed? Part of the answer may lie in your genes – specifically, a gene called COMT, often nicknamed the “Warrior/Worrier” gene.
At MyGene, our Super Methylation Test includes your COMT type, helping you understand your Warrior/Worrier profile in the context of your overall genetic blueprint. This allows you to tailor nutrition, lifestyle, and stress management strategies to work with your biology.
Are you a Warrior, a Worrier, or somewhere in between? Discover your profile and start building resilience from your genes up.
