The irreversible aging process affects the functioning of all body systems: metabolism slows down, the functioning of the hormonal system changes, we become less emotional and mobile, the volume of muscle tissue decreases and the percentage of body fat increases.
Skin ages because moisture is lost faster than it is replaced.
Everyone knows that nutrition directly affects health. However, sometimes even healthy foods can harm the body. Surprised? Let's figure out what women over 50 should exclude from their diet.
Smoothie
Vitamin puree cocktails have been at the peak of popularity among healthy lifestyle enthusiasts for several years now. However, they are not so harmless.
Smoothie is a mixture of chopped fruits, greens and vegetables in a blender. How can such a combination be harmful?
Nutritionists advise combining ingredients wisely, as some products are poorly absorbed by the body when interacting with each other.
In addition, most of the nutrients can be obtained from green vegetables and herbs, and not from fruits that contain a lot of sugar.
Liquid food can easily cause overeating. It is a serious mistake to think that a smoothie is a drink.
If you include a cocktail in your diet, then consume it as a separate dish, otherwise there is a risk of gaining extra pounds. And as you know, excess weight leads to many diseases, including diabetes.
Kefir
Kefir is a healthy product only for completely healthy people. The fact is that it contains a large amount of saturated fats, which leads to obesity when there is an excess of them in the body, worsening the functioning of the cardiovascular system and increasing the risk of stroke. The daily norm is 15 g (in 1 glass - 6 g).
Excessive consumption can increase blood sugar levels. This will force the pancreas to release insulin to process sugar, blocking fat burning. That is, you will not be able to lose weight even on low-calorie kefir.
If you buy kefir, which one? It is better to take kefir with a fat content of 3.2%. If you prefer low-fat kefir, then bad news awaits you - fat-soluble vitamins are not absorbed in it, for example, vitamin D, which is needed for the absorption of calcium.
It is not recommended to drink fermented milk products at night. Kefir contains a large amount of protein, which does not have time to digest by the morning. During the night, the body must remove all waste and toxins in order to start the morning with health. And undigested kefir in the stomach works in the opposite direction.
Red meat
Red meat is a source of protein and nutrients, so you shouldn't completely exclude it from your diet.
Red meat does cause wrinkles and premature aging, but only if it is fried.
Cooked meat produces so-called inflammatory hydrocarbons, which increase inflammation, damaging many organs of the body, including the skin.
Fatty meat increases the production of free radicals, which strip electrons from healthy cells, thereby harming them.
Therefore, the skin is unable to produce collagen. Aging is inevitable. But it is we who, by excluding some seemingly healthy products from the diet, can delay its term.
Previously, we talked about 5 products that contain a lot of hidden sugar .
