Advanced Glycation End Products

 The message is simple: eat more fruit and veg, eat less fried foods, foods high in fat and sugar, try not to eat too many food cooked at high heat (brown French fries, fried chicken,  the “bark” on smoked ribs, the dark lines on grilled chicken or steak).  The intake and formation of advanced glycation end products contribute to damage within the cells and tissues.  These injuries lead to health problems and aging.  Food is not just for how it tastes.  It is to nourish our bodies and souls, to fulfill a biologic need, not just fill our bellies. Eat the rainbow and reduce less healthy foods in the diet for better long term health. #eattherainbow #age #advancedglycationendproducts #foodismedicine #exerciseismedicine #sleepismedicine #wellness 

Olive Oil vs. Coconut Oil

 Coconut oil is a plant-based saturated fat that has gotten a lot of good press in recent years.   MCT’s are thought to be beneficial because they are absorbed differently than other types of fats. Although coconut oil contains medium chain triglycerides,  it is not purely made of MCT’s, so you cannot infer the same benefits. Coconut oil is mostly saturated fat as well as other fats.  The studies looking at coconut oil use, actually suggest that patients using coconut oil may have increases in their total cholesterol level and their bad cholesterol level. They may also have a small increase in their good cholesterol level. There is no change seen in blood pressure, Weight, or fasting sugar levels in patients who use coconut as opposed to olive oil. Coconut oil does have a higher smoke point when it is refined. This may be beneficial for certain types of cooking. #CoconutOil #OliveOil #MediterraneanDiet #mctoil
