Foods to Stay Away From After Age 60

The rule of thumb here is that you should always opt for the more natural version of a food. So, of course, processed cheese is a big no. If you’re including processed cheese like American cheese slices or bagged shredded cheese, it’s time that you cut those out. These sorts of processed cheeses contain high levels of sodium, unhealthy fats, and artificial additives. To take care of your health, it’s best that you avoid processed cheese altogether.

Instead, go for unprocessed and more natural cheeses, such as brie, cheddar, and parmesan. While cheese slices and grated cheese are quick and convenient, they aren't ideal for your health.
