Age is no joke. So if you decide to reconsider your lifestyle, habits and interests, think about your diet.
Experts advise older people who have crossed the 65-year mark to exclude 5 harmful products from their diet, for which it is not so difficult to find a healthy replacement.
What you shouldn't eat after 65 years
1. Soft-boiled eggs or other cooking methods that leave the yolk undercooked increase the risk of salmonella contamination.
The same goes for protein. Therefore, eggs should be either well-fried or hard-boiled.
2. Canned fruits contain a lot of sugar, which can cause inflammation.
Instead of preserves and canned goods, include more fresh vegetables and fruits in your diet.
This way you will improve digestion, strengthen your heart and blood vessels, and support your metabolism.
3. Avoid grapefruit juice if you have to take medications on a regular basis (for example, cholesterol medications).
In moderate quantities, it is permissible to drink tomato and orange juice, as well as cranberry juice.
4. Tea and coffee can be dangerous for older people with blood pressure problems.
A careless attitude towards drinks can cause insomnia and affect the absorption of medications.
5. Sweeteners that are supposedly safer than sugar can cause heart problems.
Moreover, it is necessary to give up regular consumption of sweet soda, which can cause a heart attack or stroke.
Needless to say, sugary sodas raise blood sugar levels.
The restriction also applies to the consumption of salt, which increases blood pressure and provokes swelling.
