After 50 years, it’s important to maintain hormonal balance and manage weight. Dr. Michael Lahy highlights three products that help avoid hormonal health improvements and weight management.
Lahy warns against ready-made meat products, such as sausages and hot dogs. These are rich in nitrates, preservatives, and unhealthy fats, contributing to higher estrogen levels. This may cause bloating and inflammation, as well as slow down the exchange of substances, increase fat accumulation and complicate the weight loss process.
Moreover, sweetness and carbonated drinks cause sharp fluctuations in blood sugar levels, disrupting hormonal balance, increasing insulin resistance and fatigue levels. Lahy recommends replacing them with healthy alternatives, such as quinoa, brown rice, and whole grain bread, to stabilize blood sugar levels and boost energy.
By avoiding the mentioned products and choosing healthy alternatives, people over 50 can maintain hormonal balance, improve overall health, and make the weight management process more successful. Some effects of such a diet may alleviate symptoms of menopause in women, such as weight gain and discomfort, while high sugar content contributes to fat accumulation.
