Nutritionists ranked the most popular food errors that contribute to premature aging. The list included 6 items.

In the first place was the excessive use of sodium. This substance is found in processed products, including fast food, and increases the risk of developing hypertension, which in turn increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases. According to nutritionists, you can consume no more than 2.3 thousand milligrams of sodium per day.

Next comes the complete rejection of fats. Many people on a diet in an effort to lose weight completely remove fatty foods from their diet. Meanwhile, they are useful for the work of cells and contribute to the assimilation of many vitamins and trace elements. Particularly important in this regard are omega-3s, which perfectly fight cognitive disorders and are preventive for some types of oncology. Fats from red fish, sardines, walnuts and linseed oil are the most useful.

Another food mistake is excessive use of sugar. The one contained in sauces is especially dangerous. Refusal of protein food is also on the list. It is necessary for the normal functioning of the muscular system. Next comes the rejection of vegetables and fruits. These products contain a large amount of fiber, which is useful for the work of the gastrointestinal tract and contributes to the elimination of toxins that accelerate the aging process.

The habit of drinking alcohol closes the list. Alcoholic beverages increase the risk of cancer, destroy the liver, weaken the immune system and impair cognitive functions.
