Experts in the field of dietetics and endocrinology have found out which foods make a person age faster.

Scientists have conducted a number of studies that have shown that a certain way of eating inhibits the functioning of the intestines and starts the process of the body's aging.

In particular, the researchers assessed popular diets, including the Mediterranean, high-protein, ketogenic and Western diets.

According to experts, it is the Western diet that has a negative impact on the human body.

Results of the experiments

As scientists explained, the Western diet contains a large amount of fats and sugars, while there is a lack of fiber.

The lack of fiber, in turn, inhibits intestinal peristalsis.

As a result of this fact, this organ is deprived of the ability to synthesize short-chain fatty acids, which are necessary for the proper functioning of the immune system.

Ultimately, energy exchange does not occur in the body, which is why a person begins to age faster.
