Foods Over 60 Must Avoid Packaged Snacks & Chips

Transcript

00:00Chips and packaged snacks may look fun and tasty, but after 60, they can be double trouble for your heart and health.

00:07These snacks often hide two big problems, trans fats and too much salt.

00:12Together, they raise cholesterol and blood pressure.

00:15As we get older, our heart and blood vessels are more sensitive.

00:19A steady diet of salty, fatty snacks can push cholesterol up and strain your heart.

00:23That means less energy for the things you love, whether it's walking, traveling, or just keeping up with grandkids.

00:31The good news? You can still snack.

00:35Try a handful of nuts for healthy fats, or air-popped popcorn for a light crunch without the heavy salt and oils.

00:41Small swaps make a big difference.

00:44Choosing heart-friendly snacks keeps your body strong, your mind clear, and your spirit ready for every new adventure.

00:51Snack smart. Live well.
