Forget how many years you’ve clocked up — experts say what really matters when it comes to how good you look and feel is your ‘biological age’.
This is the physiological age of the internal systems that keep your body functioning healthily and looking good — from your kidneys, brain and nervous tissue through to your skin.
One of the best markers of this is the level of Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs) in your body.
AGEs are harmful compounds that are formed by glycation: a chemical reaction that happens naturally as we age, but can be accelerated by poor lifestyle choices.
