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.
