Women Over 50 Should Avoid These Foods

Women Over 50 Should Avoid These Foods

Women Over 50 Should Avoid These Foods The National Institute on Aging compiled a list called Smart Food Choices for Healthy Aging. The overall message is to focus on variety, eat nutritionally dense foods, and maintain balanced amounts. As always, talk to your doctor before starting any nutritional plan. It's also important to keep in mind how certain conditions could affect diet.

Cured Meats

Hot dogs, sausage, and bacon are high in fat, sodium, and cancer-causing additives. They're also highly processed and offer little nutrition.

Frozen Meals

They're low in vegetables and protein and high in sodium and saturated fat. Eat frozen meals as infrequently as possible, and pick those that have less than 30% of the total calories from fat.

Protein Bars

Protein bars are heavily processed and high in added sugar. Many also contain soy protein isolates, which are known to be sprayed with pesticides.

Veggie Chips And Bagged Popcorn

Many of these get 50% or more of their calories from fat.

Beverages From Commercial Smoothie And Juice Shops

They can be high in sugar and calories. Blend your own smoothie at home with frozen fruit, leafy greens such as raw spinach or kale, greek yogurt, and unsweetened almond milk.
