AGING FOODS- FRIED AND MEAT "

A

Here’s a TL;DR summary of the WebMD article “Foods That Age You” you linked — focusing on the main point about what foods might speed up aging:

🥓 Foods That May Accelerate Aging

• Processed meats (like bacon, sausage, ham, deli cuts): high in sodium and preservatives that may increase inflammation in your body. Too much inflammation is linked to a greater risk of chronic diseases and can wear your body down over time. (WebMD)

• Fried foods (e.g., doughnuts, french fries): cooking in hot oil produces free radicals (unstable molecules) that can damage cells and contribute to signs of aging, both internally and on your skin. (WebMD)

(The WebMD article continues with a list of similar items in a slideshow, but the core theme is that certain ultra‑processed, high‑fat, and deep‑fried foods are linked with greater inflammation and cellular damage — factors associated with accelerated aging.)

🧠 Quick Context

While diet is just one part of aging, research shows that eating lots of highly processed foods, saturated/trans fats, and foods cooked at high heat tends to increase oxidative stress and inflammation — mechanisms tied to biological aging. More nutrient‑rich options (fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, healthy fats) can help counter these processes. (WebMD)
