Nutritionists Reveal the Cooking Mistake Slowing Your Metabolism

Burning or blackening your food can potentially slow down your metabolism and lead to weight gain. This is because it creates compounds called advanced glycation end products (AGEs) that have been linked to inflammation and oxidative stress, damaging metabolic functions. To avoid this, nutritionists recommend adopting healthy cooking methods such as steaming, boiling, grilling, or baking at lower temperatures, and incorporating nutrient-dense ingredients like lean proteins, vegetables, and whole grains into your recipes.
