What Is the Best Way to Cook to Slow Aging

What Is the Best Way to Cook to Slow Aging?

The best ways to cook to slow aging include baking and air frying. Baking allows you to avoid store-bought foods, including white bread. Although it looks innocent, white bread has a high glycemic index, triggering inflammation that encourages aging. For air frying, you keep your fat and calorie intake in check. As a registered dietician, I found out that a high-fat diet alters the microbiome and initiates systematic inflammation, speeding up aging.

What Oil Is Best to Use?

I highly recommend extra-virgin olive oil because it is loaded with healthy monounsaturated fats. Other healthy oils for high heat cooking or baking include peanut oil, almond oil, and avocado oil.

Nutritionist, Cornell University, MS

I believe that nutrition science is a wonderful helper both for the preventive improvement of health and adjunctive therapy in treatment. My goal is to help people improve their health and well-being without torturing themselves with unnecessary dietary restrictions. I am a supporter of a healthy lifestyle – I play sports, cycle, and swim in the lake all year round. With my work, I have been featured in Vice, Country Living, Harrods magazine, Daily Telegraph, Grazia, Women's Health, and other media outlets.
