What foods should you cut down on in old age

After 60 years, experts recommend paying special attention to your diet.

The fact is that some foods can make you more energetic and healthy, and vice versa.

Reduce your consumption of ultra-processed meats - sausages, hot dogs.

These products often contain a large amount of harmful fats, as well as a lot of salt, preservatives, spices, dyes and flavors.

Choose lean meats - chicken, turkey, rabbit.

You should also exclude baked goods and fried foods from your diet.

The fact is that they contain a large amount of sugar and harmful fats.

Good fats include dairy products, nuts, avocados, sesame oil, flax seeds, pumpkin and sunflower seeds.

Choose dishes cooked in the oven or on the grill.

You should also avoid carbonated drinks, canned food, coffee, and strong tea.

Canned food and carbonated drinks contain a lot of added sugar.

Caffeine and sugar disrupt your sleep patterns and prevent the absorption of nutrients from food.

Increase your drinking water, and choose herbal teas or natural fruit juices.

These are healthier alternatives to drinks.

In addition, nutritionists usually recommend that older people avoid overeating and limit their intake of fats and carbohydrates.

Therefore, you should avoid fatty fish and meat, as well as sugar and bakery products.

These products can disrupt your metabolism and negatively affect your health.

Instead, focus on a balanced diet rich in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and lean proteins.
