YES or NO to AGEs in your Food<br />
Do you have a healthy eating habit? Do you eat<br />
safe foods?<br />
Research shows that chemicals called AGEs<br />
(Advanced Glycation End products) promote chronic,<br />
low-grade inflammation in your body and can lead to a<br />
variety of premature diseases.<br />
The adverse effects of AGEs suggested so far<br />
include the stiffening of blood vessels, a dysfunctional<br />
heart, kidney disease, accelerated ageing, and earlier diabetic<br />
complications affecting the eyes, nerves and kidneys.<br />
In general, foods that contain the highest levels<br />
of AGEs are animal products such as meat, chicken, fish<br />
and cheese. High –fat spreads include butter, margarine,<br />
cream cheese and mayonnaise. Milk and plant foods<br />
such as legumes, whole grains, fruits and vegetables contain<br />
the lowest amounts.<br />
How you cook food is important. High heat and<br />
dry cooking methods like grilling, frying, roasting, toasting,<br />
and barbecuing all accelerate the formation of AG-<br />
Es.<br />
You can significantly reduce the amount of AG-<br />
Es by the way you choose to cook your food or have it<br />
prepared for you.<br />

Cont. from page 4..Improve Study Habits<br />
<br />
Take note of homeworks and projects. Record deadlines<br />
and follow up instructions correctly.<br />
AFTER CLASS<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Review your notes. This will help you recall your lessons.<br />
Do not procrastinate. Do assignments that need to be<br />
passed the following day and start working on projects<br />
even if the deadline is still a long way.<br />
Relax your mind before studying. Ignore other things<br />
that are bothering you when you study.<br />
Study the easier topics first and the difficult subjects<br />
last. Studying the easier subjects first prevents<br />
your brain from getting tired.<br />
Find time to relax. After studying one subject, take<br />
time to relax. Listen to music, talk to a friend, etc.<br />
Study ahead of time. Take time to read and study the<br />
next lesson ahead of time. In this way, you can confidently<br />
participate in your class discussion.<br />
Pray before and after studying. Prayer is power. Ask<br />
God to give you wisdom and understanding as you<br />
study.<br />
You may find these techniques difficult to follow<br />
because they require strict discipline and change in your<br />
study habit. But they are worth a try. Ask the LORD for<br />
guidance to help you change your study habit. Pray about it<br />
and “trust in the Lord with all your heart”.<br />
