Suggested Lifestyle Changes

Dietary Recommendations:

1. Avoid grilling, frying, deep-fat frying or roasting your food as it may produce high level of AGEs.
2. Avoid consuming food with high sugar content such as carbonated drinks and sweets as it may increase the glycation stress.
3. Consume moderate or minimal alcohol intake as alcohol metabolites can increase glycation stress.
4. Cinnamon, cloves and oregano can help to protect against fructose-induced AGE formation.

Supplement Recommendations:

1. Mixture of herbal extracts from chamomile, hawthorn berry and grape leaf has been found to prevent the formation of AGEs.
2. Studies show that consumption of probiotic supplementation may decrease blood sugar level, oxidative stress and early glycation.
3. Carnosine is known as AGE inhibitor, it can be used as oral supplement or applied via skincare products.

Lifestyle Recommendations:

1. Maintain reasonable skeletal muscle mass such as performing muscle load training and moderate exercise as blood glucose is mostly consumed in skeletal muscle.
2. Eat slowly, chew food well and consume foods with low glycemic index as this eating habit can reduce glycation stress.
