4 fruits that you should eat in moderation after 60 (and how to eat them without losing muscle) (Page 3 ) | November 15, 2025


4. Papaya – Great for Digestion, But Not Every Day

Papaya provides vitamin C and digestive enzymes, but when eaten in excess—especially on an empty stomach—it can disrupt acid balance and lower levels of minerals like calcium and magnesium.
Consuming it without protein can also contribute to gradual muscle loss.

Pair with whole-milk yogurt or nuts for fat and protein.
Avoid eating it late at night or as a main meal.
Alternatives: kiwi or guava, which offer vitamin C without affecting acid balance.
