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

A restaurant breakfast piled with bacon, eggs, toast, and potatoes can look like a satisfying way to begin the day. Bacon adds plenty of smoky flavor, but several strips can quickly turn an otherwise reasonable meal into a very salty and fatty breakfast.

Bacon is a processed meat that is often high in sodium and saturated fat. Regularly eating large portions may work against heart-health goals after 50. Build the plate around eggs, vegetables, fruit, and whole-grain toast, using one small piece of bacon mainly for flavor.
