Every human being will need to reduce drastically the consumption of certain food ingredients or additives in order to live longer. The earlier you reduce consumption of such food ingredients, the longer you can live longer.
Though individuals take the advice or warning from colleagues and doctors seriously, to reduce food ingredients discussed, mostly when they are sick, it is in every responsible person’s interest to heed to the lessons and reduce these food ingredients in their menu early in life.
1. Refined sugar: refined sugar is recommended to be consumed in moderation at a level that the individual feels there is just a bit of sugar in the food to be consumed, such that the sugar must not be tasty in the food or beverage. Complications of old-age diseases like BP and even diabetes, which is currently prevalent in all age brackets, are enhanced by the frequent and/or high level of refined sugar consumption. Sugar mineral drinks are equally unhealthy and a huge source of refined sugar that must also be reduced significantly to reduce refined sugar consumption.
2. Salt: salt consumption is also another food additive that will be advised against by medical doctors when an individual is aging. The reason for this medical advice is also strongly related to old age diseases like BP and kidney diseases, since the kidneys of everyone would have been exhausted at old age due to the massive work they did removing salt and other waste products from the body. Consuming just adequate salt will enable the kidney to work at an optimal level, which will enable the kidney to live and work properly longer.
3. Carbohydrates: Carbohydrates are a major source of food ingredients and can easily be over consumed. Carbohydrates equally release sugar in the form of glucose into the body, which ends up producing the same or similar negative effects that refined sugar produces. It is for this reason that people with diabetes and BP are advised against taking in excess carbohydrates. Substituting food sources with heavy sources of carbohydrates but less fibre like cassava and yam products with food sources with less carbohydrates but with high fibre like maize could help an individual have the same satisfaction from eating and with better health benefits.
