The Things People Should Absolutely Stop Doing After Age 60 To Benefit Their Health

Stop Eating Inflammatory Foods

Inflammatory foods, including hot dogs, dehydrated soups, processed meats, and sugary cereals, can trigger conditions like osteoarthritis. As a fitness coach, I strongly advise that you cut ties with these foods in your 60s and add fruits, whole grains, nuts, olive oils, legumes, and fish into your diet plan.

Stop Eating According to Your Desires

Believe it or not, being in your 60s snatches away the right to eat according to your desires. This means you may need to follow a restricted and well-balanced diet to boost your longevity.

Stop Compromising your Sleep Quality and Quality

Create healthy boundaries with digital gadgets to improve your sleep quality and quality. Also, avoid taking caffeine or too many liquids or large amounts of food before bedtime. Compromising your sleep quality and quantity in your 60s can result in mental health issues, including depression, stress, and anxiety.
