After age 40, many people experience changes in their body type and metabolism.
One of the main factors that can trigger a gain of extra kilos is poor nutrition. Therefore, it is worth figuring out which foods should definitely be eliminated from your diet.
Processed carbohydrates
They are found in the following products:
1) White bread.
2) Cookies.
3) Sweets.
They all contain carbohydrates and refined sugar. It is better to replace them with whole grain products, which contain more dietary fiber and are digested slowly, helping to maintain stable blood sugar levels.
Saturated fats
Some examples of such products:
• oil of animal origin;
• solid fats;
• fatty meats and much more.
All of these increase your overall blood cholesterol levels and lead to weight gain. Instead, choose lean protein sources such as fish, skinless chicken, tofu, and beans.
Fast food
Ready meals, fast food, canned goods and other processed products often contain large amounts of salts, sugars and preservatives. The benefits of their consumption for the body are minimal, and the harm should be obvious to everyone.
Alcohol
Drinking alcohol can lead to excess calorie intake and cause fat accumulation in the body.
Alcohol after 40 years of age does not bring anything good to the body, so its consumption should be kept to a minimum.
