Our organism and intestines and other organs, but especially he ones in the abdomen, just don’t work the same after we reach a certain level of maturity in the organism.
Flavored yoghurt
This is directly connected to the collagen production of the skin, which the flavor and extra sugar in the yoghurt are preventing at the age of 30. Sugar is a nutrient that accelerates wrinkling and sagging of the skin. And though is very tasty, it has a bunch of sugar inside it and it is not healthy as the normal yoghurt!
Pastries for breakfast
It’s a bad idea to start the day with heavy carbs. Again, it’s connected to the aging process of the sugar. The study results state that “People who consume between 17 and 21 percent of their daily calories from added sugar have a 38 percent higher risk of dying from heart disease, compared with people who consumed 8 percent or less of their calories from added sugar”.
Charred meat
The taste and the time you save while grilling is unevietable, however, cooking the meat in such high temperature releases HCAs – heterocyclic amines, who can alter the DNA and increase the possibility of getting cancer.
Soda
To be honest, soda is not a healthy and good idea for refreshment even when you’re a child, and not to mention what it does to the body when your metabolism slows down after 30’s.
Cocktails and beer
As we age, our body can’t metabolize alcohol as easily as in those college days, when you could just drink as much and feel a slight hangover in the morning. The study shows that “It’s also increasingly difficult to get a good night’s rest with alcohol in your system. While you may have been able to get away with minimal sleep in your 20s, that’s not the case in your 30s and beyond. Sleepless nights lead to carb and sugar cravings the next day, which can contribute to further weight gain.”
White bread and bagels
After the age of 30, you may start considering eating healthy breads, such as whole grains. Choosing this over refined will keep your blood sugar levels even and help maintain the weigh gain.
Chinese takeout food
Unfortunately, they have A LOT of sodium inside, which retains the water in the organism, making you feel bloated and slow down the metabolism. Plus, it can raise your blood pressure and make you skin look tired, because it takes out the water from it.
Veggie burgers
The best possible way to keep the gray hair off your face and hair is to ensure you’re taking enough B12 vitamin. Don’t cut off the beef intake in your diet!
Overdoing the coffee
Yes, you’re an adult with tons of obligations, and you were drinking much more coffee in your college days. But, “downing too much caffeine can interfere with sleep quality, cutting into this rejuvenation time and prematurely aging the skin.”
Sugar-free snacks
Ever wonder why they’re sweet but sugar free? It’s because of artificial sweeteners, that can be even more harmful to your health because of the increased level of chemicals inside these over processed and unnatural foods.
GMO and pesticide products
You already have guessed by now that you should eat cleaner and not so heavy foods. Choosing the right fruits or vegetables can be hard – always buy local grown or buy directly from farmers you know produce the natural way.
Margarine
This butter alternative is filled with hydrogenated oils – one of the most common trans fats. And trans fat is NEVER good for your health, especially not after the slowing of metabolism after 30’s.
Frozen diet meals
They tend to lack satiating nutrients like fiber and pack excess salt, sugar, and chemical additives your body simply doesn’t need.
Bacon
About 68% of calories that bacon contains is fat, and half of that is saturated. This can accelerate not only skin aging, but also contribute to oxidative stress.
Pancake syrup
According to the study, “these syrups contain high fructose corn syrup, which has been linked to metabolic syndrome including abnormal weight gain, increased triglycerides, and increased harmful visceral fat around the gut.”
Cheese dips
They contain SO much chemicals and not real cheese.
Salami and hot dogs
Contain the less portion of meat out of all the other meat products. Also, they can bring to lower sperm counts.
Chips
Studies these days show that you should never even give chips to your kid, not to mention the damage it does to your teeth and gut. It is so fried and crispy, nothing nutritional exist anymore, it is just the taste of the spices.
Sports drinks
Besides the electrolytes inside them, they have a bunch of sugar to boost the energy. You don’t need that.
Peanut butter
Sorry, but you have to give up on this as well. the study showed that “Processed peanut butter spreads often contain a lot of added sugars and hydrogenated and processed vegetable oils, which can raise cholesterol levels”.
Do you feel like your metabolism is slowing down? Or you need more energy to do the stuff through the day? Maybe you should choose a healthier eating, more clear diet. This will boost your energy level, match your slowed metabolism and contribute to a better looking, lifted and moisturized skin.
