You Should Stop Eating These Breakfast Foods If You’re Over 60 Years Old

Overnight oats sound like an ideal make-ahead breakfast. They usually contain oats, seeds, fruit, and milk, but packaged versions may also include sweetened fruit mixtures, flavored powders, syrups, and other added ingredients.

Some containers are much higher in added sugar than homemade oatmeal. Read the nutrition label carefully, especially when flavors resemble desserts. Making overnight oats with plain oats, milk, chia seeds, cinnamon, and fresh fruit gives you the same convenience with better control over sweetness.
