Welcome to the Doctor Burg, Healthy Keto and Intermittent Fasting Podcast.

Now, your host, the man taking your health to a whole new level.

Doctor Eric Burg.

Hey, I'm back.

And, you know, I've talked a lot about herbs recently.

Now, I want to talk about a slightly different effect that certain herbs and spices have.

Anti-glication.

Kind of what does anti-glication mean?

Glication is a word used to describe a situation where you have glucose combining with a protein,

or glucose combining with a fat in a certain way that makes that protein unavailable.

If you think about it, you have all these different proteins in the body that are doing millions of different functions.

And if you have this glucose molecule that locks in there and warps with it and makes that protein unavailable,

and then that dysfunctional protein or the dysfunctional fat creates all sorts of problems in the body.

So we call that term advanced glycation and products.

And there's several concepts out that they talk about aging, being the accumulation of the advanced glycation and products.

So that's a simplicity of glycation.

You're warping this sugar with a protein or fat and you're creating irreversible damage.

And also massive free radical damage that then ends up in the cascade of effects that can occur.

There are several potent spices and herbs that are very strong inhibitors of advanced glycation and products.

And these are the most potent.

So we have anus, we have cinnamon.

So you can sprinkle this on your cinnamon toast, I'm being very sarcastic.
