00:00Bacon, sausage, hot dogs. They may taste good, but for seniors over 60, they come with a quiet health cost.
00:08These foods are called processed meats. They're packed with saturated fat and a lot of salt, two things that make cholesterol levels climb.
00:17When cholesterol rises too high, it doesn't just show up on your blood test. It can also make your heart and blood vessels work harder than they should.
00:24Think of your arteries as water pipes. Too much fat and salt make the walls sticky and narrow, slowing the flow and raising your health risks over time.
00:35The good news? You don't have to give up flavor. You just need to swap processed meats for leaner, healthier proteins.
00:43Instead of bacon or hot dogs, try turkey breast, grilled chicken, or even a homemade veggie wrap.
00:49You'll still enjoy a satisfying meal without the extra cholesterol and sodium.
00:52Every small swap helps. By choosing lean meats over processed ones, you're protecting your heart, boosting your energy, and giving yourself more good years ahead.
