Over 50? Let's talk about refined sugars and thy impact on your health
Removing refined sugar for women over 50 slows biological aging, reduces inflammation, and improves metabolic health, with studies indicating that even small reductions can reverse premature cell aging. Key benefits include improved skin elasticity, sustained energy levels, reduced belly fat, and better mood regulation. The FDA recommends limiting added sugars to no more than 50 grams per day.
Benefits for reducing refined for women Over 50:
  • Slower Cellular Aging: Diets low in added sugar are linked to a younger biological age, as excessive sugar causes telomeres—caps on DNA—to shorten faster.
  • Weight Management & Reduced Belly Fat: A 30-day, no-added-sugar diet can result in significant weight loss, particularly around the midsection.
  • Skin Health: Lowering sugar intake reduces the binding of sugar to collagen, which helps prevent wrinkles and loss of skin elasticity.
  • Improved Metabolic Health: Cutting out refined sugar helps prevent or manage age-related conditions like diabetes, obesity, and high cholesterol.
  • Stable Mood and Energy: Removing sugar prevents blood sugar crashes, reducing fatigue and mood swings. 
Strategies for Success
  • Prioritize Protein and Fiber: Swap sugary breakfasts for options high in protein and fiber to reduce cravings.
  • Read Labels: Be diligent about checking ingredient lists, as hidden sugars are in many packaged foods.
  • Hydrate: Increase water intake to help kidneys flush out excess sugar.
  • Swap Smart: Choose whole fruits instead of juice or processed snacks.
  • Understand Cravings: Evaluate if hunger is actually thirst or a need for comfort, and address it accordingly. 
Common sources of refined sugar to avoid include sodas, processed snacks, candies, and many condiments.
No, this doesn't mean we need to stop living. It means we need to start living better. 💪🏼
