Their consumption is best kept to a minimum.
After age 30, it becomes more difficult to lose weight, recover from sleepless nights and stay in good health without activity and sports. But, according to nutritionists, the rejection of some products can improve the well-being of any age group of the population.
Flavored yogurt
Avoiding sugar and baked goods is not enough if you continue to eat yogurt for breakfast. Pay attention to the sweetener content of the flavored dessert. Chances are, your yogurt is as caloric as ice cream and soda.
Instant soup
A 2013 study points to a link between high blood pressure and early skin aging. And sodium, which is found in large quantities in instant soups, is known to be the main provocateur of high blood pressure.
Pastries for breakfast
Excessive love of baked goods can negatively affect your health. In addition, people who consume 17-21% of their daily calories from fast carbohydrates have a 38% higher risk of dying from heart disease compared to those who limit their sugar intake.
Grilled meat
Cooking steaks and other proteins at high temperatures over an open fire leads to the formation of heterocyclic amines and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, which increase the risk of cancer.
Soda and juices
Drinks are the main source of sugar in the diet. And in addition to heart disease, sugar can provoke problems with ovulation and reduce sperm motility.
Oreo cookies
This delicious dessert is nothing more than empty calories. At a young age, this is not scary, but after 30 it is more and more difficult to lose weight, so it is better to limit yourself in sweets.
Cocktails and beer
With age, the body assimilates alcohol less and less. The brain falls asleep longer and recovers worse, alcohol sucks moisture from the skin, reduces its elasticity and increases the number of wrinkles.
White bread
If your bread is not whole grain, assume that you have skipped a whole meal. The body converts refined carbohydrates into sugar and then into glucose, which damages collagen.
Chinese takeaway food
The Chinese food you order in restaurants is high in sodium. It, in turn, increases thirst, removes moisture from the skin, and raises blood pressure.
Meat substitutes
The lack of vitamin B12 in the body leads to early graying. If you eat meat, add beef to your diet. To prevent vitamin deficiency, vegetarians are advised to consume spinach and other greens.
Iced coffee
If you drink cold coffee from a straw, then strike a double blow on the body. Firstly, consuming large amounts of caffeine can affect sleep quality and cause skin aging, and secondly, using a straw can provoke premature wrinkles.
Instead, nutritionists advise drinking warm green tea, which can help smooth wrinkles and improve skin elasticity.
Artificial sweeteners
Avoiding artificial sweeteners can improve liver function.
Products with pesticides
Researchers have found that men who consume foods high in pesticides suffer from low sperm motility. Among the foods with a high amount of this substance are apples, strawberries, grapes, celery, peaches purchased in supermarkets.
Margarine
An alternative to oil is made from a common trans fat, hydrogenated oil. It has been linked to heart disease, inflammation, accelerated skin aging and increased vulnerability to UV radiation.
Semi-finished products
Avoid processed foods as they do not contain nutrients. Instead, you get empty calories, salt, sugar, and chemical additives that your body doesn't need.
Bacon
Bacon is a saturated fat that promotes weight gain, increases the risk of heart disease and stroke, and causes inflammation that accelerates skin aging. Bacon, like other processed meat, contains sodium nitrate, which provokes oxidative stress, which leads to changes in the structure of collagen and elastin.
Energy drinks and sugary drinks with caffeine
Such drinks are the cause of metabolic disorders that lead to the accumulation of fat and more serious diseases, in particular type 2 diabetes, pathology of the heart and blood vessels.
Maple syrup
It contains high fructose corn syrup. It is this component that is associated with metabolic syndrome, which is characterized by abnormal weight gain and elevated triglyceride levels.
Cheese sauces
Many of these sauces are a complex of artificial colors, flavors and food additives. Better to complement your meals with natural farm cheese.
Soy sauce
Dark circles under the eyes and dehydration of the body can be triggered by a large amount of soy sauce in the diet.
Salami and hot dogs
A 2014 study found a link between processed meat consumption and lower sperm count in men.
Coffee ice cream
Caffeinated ice cream equivalent to half a shot of espresso. Perhaps this did not interfere with your sleep before, but after 30 years, human biorhythms and hormones are rapidly changing. Therefore, even a small amount of caffeine at dinner can negatively affect sleep.
Crisps
With every year of life, the body burns fewer calories. Therefore, mature people choose snacks more responsibly, especially when it comes to chips.
The recipe for this dish was developed so that one aroma does not overwhelm the other, and when foods do not have a dominant taste, our receptors do not work and we consume more to feel full.
Sports drinks
Undoubtedly, they provide the body with important electrolytes such as sodium and potassium, but at the same time they contain excessive amounts of sugar and calories.
Peanut butter
Processed peanut butter spreads often contain too many sugars, as well as hydrogenated and processed vegetable oils, which can raise cholesterol levels.
Protein bars
They are fast, lightweight, and the inscription «for weight loss» creates the illusion that they are also useful. Actually this is not true. These bars contain tons of unnecessary ingredients like artificial sugar and palm oil. In addition, the chocolate in its composition will lead to a sharp drop in sugar, making you tired and hungry within minutes after having a snack.
Instant pasta with cheese
They have just appeared on our market, but have already found their fans. In fact, one such pack contains a lot of sodium and empty carbohydrates, which raise blood sugar levels.
Canned fruits
If you have the opportunity, always choose fresh fruits, and not canned counterparts, which have lost most of their beneficial properties.
Pasta sauce
Despite being convenient and flavorful, sauces contain a variety of oils, sugar, and salt.
Cream
Coffee cream and sunblock have more in common than you might think. They both contain titanium dioxide, a UV blocker that acts as a whitening agent. In addition, the cream contains trans fats, which are hidden in a composition called hydrogenated butter.
