[@carltonokill2732]

Thank you for this concise presentation of nutrients to avoid as we age. Most of the items on this list I do not have difficulty with such as fried and processed foods. I've had to refrain from eating grapefruit due to negative medication interactions. Alcohol consumption has been reduced to no more than 14 units per week, with 3-4 days alcohol free. Coffee is a tough one though. Being in my early 60s, coffee is the go to drink every morning. I've reduced my intake to 2 cups (640 ml) before noon. Along with my weekly exercise routine 4x/wk, this video is a wonderful gem and guide-line on how to become and stay healthy. Many thanks!!

[@CynMeyerSecondWindMovement]

Thanks so much for watching and for your great comments! It sounds like you're doing a great job being aware of your consumption levels and managing the intake. I've found that swaps are super helpful for people and incrementally shifting the behavior change in micro-steps. Have you tried mushroom coffee by chance? It's a positive trend if you can get on board with the new smell/taste! Totally understand the coffee lover life though 😍

[@diannewright6713]

Just found your channel. I love it. I am retirement age and planning. Thank you.

[@CynMeyerSecondWindMovement]

You're welcome Dianne - thank you for your feedback! May you enjoy transitioning into this important life phase and discover and embrace your new role in retirement 🙌

[@coletteeckert7137]

I was surprised that you didn’t mention bread. Great video. Thank you!

[@CynMeyerSecondWindMovement]

Thanks for watching and striving to be your best! Of course, gluten is whole other topic and best foods to eat/avoid are unique to each person 💕

[@Jcavadino1]

Nice how Cyn helps you to eat more what's healthier and eat less what's not so healthy.

[@CynMeyerSecondWindMovement]

Glad you found it helpful 😃

[@Jcavadino1]

Great information. I guess this is especially for the American people. In Europe, we focus more on: 1. Eat biological 2 eat 200% more vegetables 3 eat 100% less carbohydrates 4 drink 2 liters of water 5 skip desserts

[@CynMeyerSecondWindMovement]

The tips apply for everyone 😁

Thank you for this list. Diet soda is toughest for me to stop. 😢

[@CynMeyerSecondWindMovement]

You can do it! 💪

[@susanbays9067]

I'm 62 and the most obvious (and saddest) change I've noticed is my body's inability to process alcohol the way it used to. Just one glass of wine can cause my head to get stuffy, sleep to be interrupted frequently (often by vivid dreams), inflammation to kick in, and acid reflux to flare up.

[@CynMeyerSecondWindMovement]

I'm sorry to hear that alcohol doesn't agree with you as well as it used to! Many of us develop alcohol intolerance with age, but you can always drink a non-alcoholic cider or beer 😁 Thank you for sharing your experience with us 💕

[@fionagregory9147]

I don't drink alcohol as all.

[@joannreynolds1449]

Very helpful! I am mid-seventy and this was great. What are best exercises for this age?

[@CynMeyerSecondWindMovement]

So glad you found it helpful! Physical exercise and stamina of course vary the most among older adults (some are climbing mountains and teaching yoga while others have difficulty climbing stairs) so it's about finding what suits your unique body and lifestyle. You may find these exercises and health tips helpful as general topics - secondwindmovement.com/health/ Enjoy and thanks for watching and striving to be your best! 💕

[@fionagregory9147]

I never drink diet coke etc.

[@CynMeyerSecondWindMovement]

Good for you! Diet Coke often tends to be an all-in/out choice.

[@fionagregory9147]

I never fry food.

Another amazing (non) habit!

AWESOME! CONGRATULATIONS! I'm going on 66 and no medication. Hurray for us. 🎉

[@larryboysen5911]

Thank you for the information, actually, I don't consume any of the foods you mentioned. I dropped foods such as Italian Salami (which I still love), don't drink, except a glass of red wine once in a while, dropped fried foods and don't care for grapefruit, or packaged foods or canned soups (make my own). Try to eat balanced...love fruits, veggies, and poultry. I'm going to turn the "big 80" soon...thus, have a few years ago, dropped the foods mentioned! My one weakness...I have a cup of ice cream every night after dinner! Have to have one vice! One other plus...I have never smoked.

[@CynMeyerSecondWindMovement]

Thanks for sharing Larry! Wow sounds like you're crushin it with an amazing balanced food consumption habit. We so appreciate you watching and sharing your comments. And happiest happy 80th birthday!! 🎉 Your fellow Italian Salami lover, Cyn 💕

[@elibennett6168]

thoughts about stevia sweetened soda?

[@CynMeyerSecondWindMovement]

Hi Eli! Of course everything in moderation. If you're trying to swap out and step out of a sugar sweetened soda habit, it's a healthier alternative for those intense initial cravings. No sugar is gonna be a great next goal since stevia may still cause things like blood-sugar issues if consumed in excess. Great job being cognizant about what you put in your body and striving to be your best - keep it up! 💪🙏

[@user-xy2ny9ki2u]

What about uncurled lunch meat??? And sugared soda??? I don’t care for diet soda😜

[@CynMeyerSecondWindMovement]

We did mention those, though 😁

[@susanlegeza7562]

I am95 andate bacon (love it...)all my life. Nottoo much i think joucan eaut, but here and there!

[@CynMeyerSecondWindMovement]

Thanks so much for watching and for your feedback, you are 95 and fabulous! Totally agree about moderation and following simple guidelines 🙌

[@susanlegeza7562]

I think you can eat everything moderately! Of course if you are allergic thatis different...

[@CynMeyerSecondWindMovement]

Thanks for watching and for your feedback, totally agree it's about moderation and following simple guidelines the best you can. Here's to your healthy, happiness and longevity! 🙌💕

[@tamatharawls637]

I was soooo copacetic with everything except when she said bacon; I literally laid my head back and sighed but realized I don't eat it more than 2-3 pieces every 4-7 months and the stuff I get has no nitrates, no sugar, no salt, no antibiotics. So there's that.

[@CynMeyerSecondWindMovement]

OK so THAT is a very modest amount of bacon in my book, great job! And if you're choosing the healthy alternatives on the others most of the time, you are inspiring - thank you for being proactive about your best healthiest life! 🤩

[@OloOlo825]

Don't try to scare me 🙃 And finally - don't breathe 🤣

[@CynMeyerSecondWindMovement]

😂 May you embrace micro-steps and simple swap-outs over time!

[@thomasgronek6469]

The risk of cancer increases because what is eaten and drank with the processed meat. Chips, rolls, soda, beer, and all of the other stuff causes the problems, not really the hot dog, but one shouldn't eat hotdogs anyway.

[@CynMeyerSecondWindMovement]

Agree, thanks so much for watching and for your feedback! Here's to your health and longevity 🙌

[@fionagregory9147]

I have two cups of instant coffee per day.

[@CynMeyerSecondWindMovement]

👍

[@WhiteWolfBlackStar]

Avoid these : fried foods processed meats coffee diet soda alcohol pre-packaged food grapefruit As I'm sitting here drinking a huge freshly juiced grapefruit, grape. pomagranite drink LOL! I'm not on any medications though. Thank you.

[@CynMeyerSecondWindMovement]

Thanks for your feedback and for watching! Amazing that you're not on any medications, keep up your great habits 🙌

[@fionagregory9147]

I eat sardines and raw carrots.

[@fionagregory9147]

Iced tea sounds revolting.

[@fionagregory9147]

There is Guinness 0.0 which is alcohol free.

[@CynMeyerSecondWindMovement]

Yes! A great swap-out 🍻

[@lawrencetyesweeleemoe2756]

Eat everything moderately. If you avoid all these, then don't live. Have a life.

[@CynMeyerSecondWindMovement]

Yes, agree about moderation - and broader guidelines like these can lead to more specific health optimizing for each person of course 🙌

[@frankponce7255]

It is a fucking lie. I am 52 and still alive.

[@CynMeyerSecondWindMovement]

These are simply guidelines to work toward and not a hard fast rule that indicates you'll die if you don't follow, thanks for watching 💕
