Food plays an important role in life, as it gives a person energy and strength.

Some products are healthy, while others may not have the best effect on the body.

Ultra-processed food, as well as food containing large amounts of sugar, can accelerate the aging process of the body. RIA Novosti reports details with reference to Galina Volkova, a nutritionist at the Odintsovo Regional Hospital.

It is noted that ultra-processed food is created in industrial enterprises. It contains thickeners, preservatives, and flavorings.

According to Volkova, such food can lead to premature aging. In addition, excessively sweet foods can also have a negative effect: candies, cakes, pastries.

She noted that it is important for people who want to slow down the aging process to eat healthy foods containing proteins, fats and carbohydrates.

In addition to food, it is important to drink plenty of clean drinking water.

It is added that it is important to eat vegetables and fruits every day – at least 400 grams of plant foods.
