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

Bran muffins have a strong reputation as a wholesome, fiber-rich breakfast. However, bakeries often add large amounts of sugar, oil, and syrup to balance the bran’s heavier texture and less-sweet flavor.

A large sweetened bran muffin may contain as many calories and nearly as much sugar as a piece of cake. Look for a smaller muffin with whole grains and minimal added sugar. Pairing it with plain yogurt or an egg can also add protein and improve the meal’s balance.
