Does slow cooking truly benefit my dog's health?

In animal studies, reducing Advanced Glycation End products (AGEs) intake by half through slow-cooking, without changing the diet's content increased the animals' lifespan compared to those consuming the same diet prepared conventionally. Slow cooking offers the advantage of reducing exposure to AGEs, which are toxins absorbed by the body when consuming grilled, fried, or broiled meats, cheeses, and other animal-derived foods, as well as foods cooked at high temperatures. While AGEs contribute to the appetizing tastes and smells of food, they have been associated with inflammation, insulin resistance, diabetes, vascular, and kidney diseases.To lower your pet's intake of AGEs, it is recommended to slow cook, steam or boil their food, as these cooking methods involve low heat and help maintain the water content of food.
