New research out of Mount Sinai School of Medicine NYC says, cooking with lemon juice may reduce the effects of aging. For instance, by adding lemon juice to meats before cooking helps reduce a harmful compound called “advanced glycation end product" that increases aging in the body. Cooking meats by grilling, broiling, baking and searing can increase AGE’s. The theory with research is that lemon juice helps to decrease the formation of these compounds. Meats should marinate in the lemon juice for an hour, depending on the size and type of meat.
It’s also good to serve a liberal amount of veggies and a serving or more of fruits at meal times (depending on how many servings you had thus far in the day). Fruits and veggies contain a high amount of antioxidants and phytochemicals that can help make aging all the more graceful;).
