00:00As we age, our heart becomes more sensitive to what we eat.
00:03After 60, the foods we once enjoyed without a second thought can start having a much bigger
00:08impact on our health. The truth is, some everyday foods quietly damage your heart,
00:12even the ones that seem harmless or even healthy. In this video, we'll talk about
00:165 common foods that can harm your heart after 60, and more importantly, what to eat instead
00:21to keep your heart strong, your blood pressure balanced, and your energy steady throughout the
00:25day. Let's start with one of the biggest culprits, processed meats. Things like bacon,
00:29sausages, deli meats, and hot dogs. They may taste satisfying and seem like a quick source of
00:34protein, but they're loaded with sodium, nitrates, and preservatives that can wreak havoc on your
00:39cardiovascular system. Too much sodium makes your body hold on to extra fluid, which increases blood
00:44pressure and forces your heart to work harder. Nitrates and additives can damage the inner lining
00:48of your arteries, leading to stiffness and plaque buildup. Over time, that increases your risk of
00:53heart attacks and strokes. Instead of reaching for processed meats, go for leaner, fresher proteins.

05:01Your heart has carried you through every stage of life, and with the right care, it can keep beating strong for many more years to come.
05:07So start today.
05:08Your future self will thank you for it.
