Our bodies become more vulnerable as we age, so what we eat and drink is vital to our health. Here are the foods to avoid after 50!

1. Unfiltered water I noticed that my tap water is high in a chemical called perfluorooctanoic acid. The amount of this chemical in my water supply exceeds the acceptable level by 98,650%! This increases my risk for cancer, liver problems, and kidney problems. Most of the water supply contains forever chemicals that don't break down and accumulate in the brain. Find a good water filter that filters out forever chemicals!

2. Foods that deplete zinc Zinc supports testosterone, which significantly decreases in both men and women with aging. Testosterone is essential for muscle mass and supports thymus function. Zinc is also involved in making hydrochloric acid. Refined carbohydrates and starches deplete zinc.

3. Seed oils Seed oils can become stored in the membranes of cells, including the cells in your brain. Instead, use butter, tallow, lard, or olive oil for cooking.

4. Refined soy products Soy protein isolates are used in many products, such as protein bars that are marketed as healthy. You do not want to consume refined, unnatural protein like soy protein isolate.

5. Low-fat foods Vitamin K2 is vital as you age, and it’s only found in fatty foods. If you follow a low-fat diet, you’re depriving yourself of an essential nutrient that can keep your bones and joints healthy.

Magnesium supports good quality deep sleep, which is crucial as we age. Taking a magnesium glycinate supplement before bed is one of the best ways to increase your magnesium intake and improve sleep.

Instead of focusing on salt restriction, focus on increasing potassium and incorporating high-quality sea salt into your diet.
