40 Foods To Avoid After 40

Margarine

When people think of dieting and losing weight, they automatically go for the lower calorie food option thinking that it’s the healthier one and lower in fat but it’s not necessarily the better option. While margarine may be better than butter, it is also a source of hydrogenated oil and trans fat, two things that increase risk of heart problems and high cholesterol which can creep up very easily with age.

Cooking with alternatives including coconut oil, extra virgin olive oil and rapeseed oil is a much healthier option and keeps the body healthy and reaping the nutrients from these healthy fats.
