40 Foods To Avoid After 40

Hot Sauce

Who doesn’t love some flavor with their food? Especially when keeping healthy, the best way to make your meal more enticing is to make it spicy and flavorful. However, one of the unhealthy ways to do this is by adding store bought hot sauce.

It might not seem that bad, but it has very high levels of sodium, sugar and preservatives. In addition, hot sauce may exacerbate hot flushes that are caused by menopause in women. Either make a spicy sauce for your meals at home where you can control exactly what goes into them, or opt for seasoning like tumeric, zaatar and other healthy spices.
