Cardiovascular disease is one of the biggest health challenges in the modern world. Our lifestyle, particularly our diet and exercise habits, has a direct impact on our heart health. In this post we will look at two, perhaps less well known, factors that play a major role in the development of these diseases: the acronyms AGE and ALE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
AGE and ALE: What do they mean and why are they important?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Both are highly inflammatory and can cause serious long-term damage to your body. And inflammation is a precursor to many chronic diseases, including heart disease and atherosclerosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The pitfalls of modern nutrition<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Most of the food we eat today is full of AGE and ALE substances. Fast food, over-processed, heated and refined foods all cause inflammation in our bodies, even if we don't feel it immediately. The biggest problem is that our bodies are not prepared for attacks of this magnitude. Over millions of years, the human body has evolved to adapt to natural foods such as fruits, vegetables, seeds and meats. The drastic changes in our diet since the industrial revolution - eating lots of processed foods, sugar and trans fats - have completely upset the balance of our bodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why is the organisation not signalling?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The analogy may seem strange, but the way our bodies work can be compared to that of a caring mother, who does her job silently, without complaint, often beyond her strength, even when she is tired or exhausted. Our bodies can compensate for the adverse effects for a long time and try to maintain balance as long as possible. However, this comes at a price. We have no signalling systems<\/strong>, which would immediately warn that a fast-food burger will cause serious problems in the long term. So many people have no idea that their daily choices are slowly but surely undermining their health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The wisdom of nature<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I often wonder how, while chickens know exactly what they need to eat to stay healthy - without having been to school - we humans, with our many degrees in hand, stand cluelessly in front of the grocery store shelves. Despite all our knowledge, we often lose our natural instinct<\/strong>that would teach us what is best for our bodies. The modern world is full of artificial flavours and quick fixes that distract us from what is truly nutritious and healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What should we do for our hearts?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Concluding thoughts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Our food is full of inflammatory substances that lead to irreversible long-term damage to our health. We are not ostriches<\/strong>to bury our heads in the sand and ignore these facts. Just as a mother takes care of her child, we must take care of our bodies. If we do not take care of it, we will face the consequences in the long run and unfortunately it will often be too late to change. Be aware, be caring and give your body what it really needs.<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A sz\u00edv \u00e9s \u00e9rrendszeri betegs\u00e9gek a modern vil\u00e1gban az egyik legnagyobb eg\u00e9szs\u00e9g\u00fcgyi kih\u00edv\u00e1st jelentik.
