Doctor cuts two foods from diet after 40: 'Baked chicken is a much better choice'

Romanian doctor and TV host Mihail Pautov has adjusted his diet after turning 40, cutting out processed meats and refined sugar. He warns that these items, particularly processed meats, are linked to cancer and inflammation.

Do not experiment with anything, not even with dietary supplements, without consulting a doctor.

Pautov, who hosts the health show MediCOOL and shares nutrition tips online, now favors simpler meals. He still eats meat but chooses less processed options, stating grilled steaks are a poor choice compared to baked chicken with herbs. For sweets, he opts for fruit, honey, or date spreads instead of refined sugar.

“

Generally, I am not against meat.

His daily diet includes fish, eggs, beans, lentils, steamed vegetables, soups, and green tea. He also takes supplements like Vitamin C, D, and zinc, but stresses that these should only be used after consulting a healthcare professional. Pautov believes adapting eating habits with age is crucial, particularly for maintaining a strong immune system after 50.
