Foods to Stay Away From After Age 60
Artificial Sweeteners
This one may sound a little confusing at first. Artificial sweeteners were originally put in place to reduce our sugar intake. However, they may be equally, if not more, dangerous for our health. They can easily disrupt our metabolism and have links to increased risks of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. Some studies also suggest that artificial sweeteners can affect our gut health. Moreover, they may have an effect on your insulin sensitivity.
If you still like to add a little bit of sweetness to drinks, there are some great healthier alternatives. You could try a bit of honey, maple syrup, or stevia to hit the spot.
