Unexpected Discovery: Popular Vegetable May Accelerate Aging

Scientists have made an unexpected discovery that could change our attitude towards one of the world's most popular foods. Potatoes, which appeared in Europe in the 16th century and quickly won the hearts of millions, may be causing accelerated aging of the body.

According to research, high starch content in potatoes triggers sharp spikes in blood glucose levels. This process initiates glycation - a destructive effect on skin proteins, leading to wrinkles and loss of elasticity.

Statistics show that an average person consumes about 50 kg of potatoes per year. Fried potatoes pose a particular danger, as they increase oxidative stress and accelerate aging processes at the cellular level.

Nutritionist Anna Petrova comments: "It's important to remember that it's not about completely avoiding potatoes, but about the right approach to cooking them. Boiled or baked potatoes are less harmful, especially when combined with proteins and fiber".

Experts recommend paying attention to alternative products rich in antioxidants: broccoli, spinach, blueberries, and fatty fish. These products help slow down aging processes and maintain skin health.
