5 Things Worth Checking on Food Labels After 50

from Living Your Senior Life · host Debbie

Ever grab something off the grocery store shelf without giving the label a second thought? Most of us do -- until something nudges us to start paying a little closer attention.In this episode, Mark and I are sharing five things that are worth checking on food labels, especially as we get into our 50s and beyond. We are talking sodium, added sugars, serving size, ingredient lists, and fat -- and why each one starts to matter a little more at this stage of life.We also clear up some confusion around what "processed" actually means, because frozen vegetables and Twinkies are technically both processed foods -- and they are definitely not the same thing.No scary statistics, no diet lecture. Just two neighbors sharing what they have learned and what they now look for at the grocery store.As always, we are not doctors or nutritionists, so anything specific to your health is always worth a conversation with your own physician. But we think you will walk away from this one with a few simple habits that make grocery shopping a little more intentional.To read the full article, go to: LivingYourSeniorLife.comNew episodes drop every other Tuesday.
