Scientists have named two types of products that accelerate human aging.
It is because of them that a person looks older than the age in the passport.
A study on this topic was conducted by scientists from the Mediterranean Neurological Institute. They shared their results in a scientific paper for the journal AJCN .
Frozen and ultra-processed foods (UPF) accelerate aging.
Scientists confirmed this based on a study involving 22,000 people.
Foods that are rich in additives (emulsifiers, flavorings, etc.) are considered UOP. Examples include fast food, many confectionery products, chips, and sweet soda.
An additional negative factor is the material used for packaging.
Manufacturers actively use plastic containers and wrappers. This contributes to the penetration of chemicals from the packaging into food.
This poses potential health risks, the researchers warned.
