As we age, our calorie needs decrease. However, our nutrient needs either stay the same or even increase. In other words, you need to have a regular intake of nutrient-rich foods to get the necessary amount of vitamins, protein, minerals, fats, and carbohydrates.
At the same time, you should limit foods high in calories but low in nutrients, such as deep-fried foods, desserts, sweetened beverages, and alcohol.
The eight fatal foods that can pose a danger for your health and should be avoided are:
- Raw fish
- Raw eggs
- Raw meat
