You Should Stop Eating These Breakfast Foods If You’re Over 60 Years Old

Sausage patties are a familiar part of many hearty breakfasts. They provide protein and plenty of savory flavor, but the small size can make it easy to eat several without considering how much salt and fat they contain.

Most breakfast sausage is processed and high in sodium and saturated fat. Regularly eating large portions may make blood pressure, cholesterol, and heart health harder to manage after 50. Try eggs, beans, or lean homemade turkey patties seasoned with herbs instead.
