The next time you prepare your favorite meal, consider a low-temperature method such as boiling, steaming or poaching to create an even healthier dish. These cooler cooking methods greatly reduce the number of harmful compounds, called advanced glycation end products (AGEs), that are produced when food is exposed to high temperatures. AGEs can lead to free radical formation, inflammation and insulin resistance in the body. Be creative with your menus and try preparing the same foods in a safer way.
