Foods to Stay Away From After Age 60

Microwave Rice

Microwave rice might just be one of the most convenient things in the world. Waiting 15-20 minutes for rice to boil on the stove can be frustrating compared to 2 minutes in the microwave. However, convenience and ease come with quite a few downsides. Microwave rice contains a lot of chemicals and an insane amount of sodium. It goes beyond the recommended daily sodium intake, which can lead to hypertension and other health issues.
