Top Foods to Avoid After 60 for Better Health

Short Summary: Nutrition Tips After Age 60

As we age, metabolism slows and digestion changes, making smart food choices crucial. People over 60 should avoid:

High-sodium processed foods (like deli meats, canned soups) – raise blood pressure.

Sugary drinks & high-glycemic carbs – spike blood sugar and increase diabetes risk.

Artificial sweeteners & fried foods – may disrupt gut health and raise cholesterol.

Grapefruit – can dangerously interact with certain medications.

Raw or undercooked foods – pose a higher risk of foodborne illness.

Caffeine & alcohol – affect sleep, blood pressure, and medication response.

Hard-to-chew foods – can be difficult for those with dental issues.

Instead, focus on lean proteins, whole grains, soft fruits, steamed veggies, and healthy fats. A senior-focused nutritionist can help create a balanced, age-appropriate plan.
