Processed meats, including bacon, hot dogs, and pepperoni, are typically very high in saturated fats and contain nitrates, which cause inflammation and lead to wrinkles. Andrea Giancoli, MPH, RD, explains that consuming too much of one type of food can lead to early aging, which often shows in your skin.
Keeping this in consideration, what does aging do for meat?
Dry aging is the process by which large cuts of beef are aged for anywhere from several weeks to several months before being trimmed and cut into steaks. It’s a process that not only helps the steak develop flavor, but also makes it far more tender than it would be completely fresh.

What is the most economical way of aging beef?
While dry-aging typically takes 4-6 weeks, requires specialized aging lockers, and causes product loss due to trimming and evaporation, wet-aging takes less time, less equipment, and causes no loss of product. As a result, wet-aged beef is easier to find and cheaper to buy.
