Regular consumption of sugary drinks can accelerate cellular aging. According to scientific research.
Studies, such as the one published in the “American Journal of Public Health.” Analyzed data from more than five thousand adults. And found that regular intake of sugary drinks is associated with shorter telomeres. The protective “caps” at the ends of chromosomes that are directly related to the passage of biological time in our cells.
Shortened telomeres are a marker of accelerated aging and have been linked to a higher risk of chronic diseases. Such as diabetes, heart disease, and persistent inflammation.
According to the study, each daily serving of sugary drinks can be associated with several additional years of biological aging. For example, a large can (approximately 600 ml) was associated with up to 4.6 extra years of “cellular age” in the cells analyzed.
It’s not just about empty calories: excess sugar can influence biochemical processes that accelerate the deterioration of our cells.
Reducing your consumption of sodas and sugary drinks. Opting for water, and maintaining healthy habits could help protect your telomeres and your long-term health.
