What Is Glycation?
Glycation is a natural process that happens in your body. It occurs when sugars, such as glucose or fructose, bind to DNA, lipids, and proteins. It's commonly explained like a caramelisation reaction that's like cooking food at high temperatures to help people understand the process.
Although this is a normal and natural process, too much glycation can be harmful for you. Over an amount of time, advanced glycation end products (AGEs) which are the sugar-coated molecules, can build up in your tissues and damage them.
How Does Glycation Happen?
Sugar Exposure
Sugary foods cause blood sugar spikes, and some sugar can "stick" to important molecules in your body, forming the harmful AGEs we mentioned earlier These AGEs damage your tissues by stiffening collagen, fuelling inflammation, and impairing cell function.
Amadori Product Formation
When the sugar initially attaches to the molecule, it's called and Amadori product. This Amadori stage is crucial as it's a reversible stage where this temporary bond can be broken.
AGE Formation
Over time, the Amadori products experience a series of chemical reactions which then lead to the formation of the AGEs. Irreversible, AGEs can amass in your tissues and lead to the next stage: tissue damage.
Tissue Damage
Your tissues can be damaged in several ways by the AGEs. These include:
Stiffening your collagen
Collagen is a protein that provides structure and support to your skin, bones, and blood vessels. It gives your skin that plump and youthful appearance and prevents wrinkles and sagging. However, AGEs can stiffen collagen, leading to the appearance of wrinkles along with joint pain, and even impaired blood flow.
Increasing inflammation
AGEs can also trigger inflammation, which is a contributor to a variety of chronic diseases that includes Alzheimer's, diabetes, and heart disease.
Inflammation also causes accelerated signs of ageing on your skin which is commonly called 'Inflammaging'. Inflammaging is the process of low-grade, chronic inflammation that breaks down the architecture of your skin within your dermis. It leads to the loss of hyaluronic acid, collagen, and anti-ageing molecules, including chondroitin. It can also cause inflammatory skin conditions, like eczema and acne-like breakouts.
Impairing cell function
AGEs can also interfere with the normal function of cells which can lead to tissue damage and cell death.
How Can You Minimise Glycation?
While glycation is a natural process, there are things you can do to minimise its harmful effects:
- Eat a diet that is rich in antioxidants (think fruits, vegetables, and whole grains).
- Limit the number of sugary foods and drinks you eat.
- Cook your foods at lower temperatures.
- Take regular exercise.
- Manage your stress levels.
By making these lifestyle changes, you can help to slow down the glycation process and protect your health from the harmful effects of AGEs.
