Reasonable chromium supplementation may help: http://www.webmd.com/diet/vitamins-supplements-8/supplement-guide-chromium http://www.drweil.com/drw/u/ART02868/chromium.html Then there is the avoidance of the "whites" such as sugar and refined flour. They promote carmelization at the cellular level. It is this carmelization that ages the body.

Never eat carbohydrates alone. Insulin is released by the pancreas in response to glucose or blood sugar. When you eat carbs, blood sugar rises, followed by the release of insulin. Carbs are responsible for raising blood sugar levels so that the release of insulin is triggered. always eat carbs with fat or/and protein. eat carbs with low GI index. don't skip meals this way there is no need for your body to release too much insulin
