In old age, it is better to avoid meat-based gastronomy, which can cause serious health problems.

For example, colon cancer.

Oksana Mikhaleva made this statement in a conversation with representatives of the RIA MO publication.

The doctor also noted during a conversation with journalists that such food contains a lot of fat, salt, cholesterol and other harmful additives that lead to diabetes, obesity and other ailments.

In addition, cheeses should be removed from the regular diet, as they also increase the risk of hypertension and atherosclerosis.

Nutritionist Mikhaleva added in an interview that it is necessary to limit the amount of white bread, buns, and baked goods.

Such products are high in calories and contain empty carbohydrates.

The amount of sweets and pickles, as the specialist noted, should also be reduced in your menu to avoid health problems.

Earlier we talked about how many times a day you need to eat.
