Stay home Pancakes What is "glycation"? Diet

The gym's voluntary closure has been extended until the end of this month.

 

I've been doing yoga at home to help me maintain my daily rhythm and control my body.

We are being taught by an overseas yoga teacher via Zoom .

 

Even though I was at home, I showed my respect for my teacher by wearing yoga clothes. I have this side to me lol

 

Yoga on Blu-ray or YouTube is great, but being interactive with a foreign teacher really helps me stay on my toes and work really hard.

 

 

Well, today is Sunday

 

After morning yoga, time passes slowly...

 

 

I made pancakes.

 

 

According to the Nikkei Shimbun, hot cake mix, gyoza wrappers, and dried noodles are at the top of the list of stay-at-home consumption items. People seem to want to eat wheat flour foods that require a little extra work.

 

 

I've always loved pancakes.

I often bake it at home.

 

The classic way to eat these thin pancakes is with white butter, honey and fresh cream.

 

scared!

 

But... it's delicious ( lol )

Of course, before eating the pancakes, I take plenty of dietary fiber supplements !!

 

Because this is like a championship of sugar and animal fat.

 

If you eat something like this on an empty stomach, you'll head straight for glycation.

 

 

Today, I'd like to write a little about glycation.

 

 

◾️Glycation is a major cause of aging.

 

The sugar we ingest binds to proteins in our body and causes the degeneration of all tissues.

 

In the skin, glycation of dermal collagen leads to sagging and wrinkles!

 

In addition, glycation of the epidermis causes yellowing and dryness.

 

If bones become glycated, it leads to osteoporosis.

 

When blood vessels become glycated, it leads to arteriosclerosis.

 

If the brain becomes glycated, it can lead to dementia.

 

...Glycation is in fact closely related to the aging of the entire body.

 

 

So,

 

◾️How can we combat glycative stress?

 

① Avoid post-meal hyperglycemia

 

"Blood sugar spike" We want to prevent blood sugar levels from rising suddenly after eating. To do this,

 

・Chew slowly when eating.

 

- Consider the order in which you eat your meals ( eat foods rich in fiber first ) .

 

- Eat three meals at set times every day.

 

 

②Let 's exercise

 

- Burn off excess calories.

 

- Make it a habit to build a body that is easy to consume nutrients.

 

 

3. Stop drinking excessive alcohol

 

④ Avoid consuming too much animal fat

 

⑤Get ​​enough sleep

 

⑥Please quit smoking!

 

 

As I write this, I am feeling a bit nervous.

 

Even though we know it in our heads, when we continue to live a stressful life, we tend to be lenient with ourselves.

 

Recently, I've been drinking a little more and exercising less. I need to tighten my belt.

 

I'm trying to increase my exercise and supplements.

 

Not just an anti-glycation supplement ,

Fiber supplements

Metabolism-boosting supplements

We also borrow the power of.

It seems that more than 50% of people give up on dieting within 3 months. Make good use of supplements .
