Foods to Keep You Healthy as You Age

On April 27, 2021, in Commentary, by Erik

We all want to live longer. However, a nice long life is not particularly satisfying without strength and mental acuity. To get the best health possible for aging bodies and minds, it’s important to know about the best food options to support this goal. Eating is usually easy, but cooking is often hard for people, especially those living alone. Motivation is hard and no one wants to eat only kale. It’s important to pick options you like and that taste good to you. You are not gong to keep going on a menu that you dislike. To minimize heart disease and golden-age-crushers, like diabetes, you need to find great lean meats, fruits and veggies that you can enjoy every day. Another great tip is to go nuts for nuts and eat steamed or baked fish too.

Key Takeaways:

  • We all want to live, long, strong and healthy lives. None of us want to give up taste. The good news is it is not necessary to live on Kale.
  • Doctors with smarts know that their patients will stick to a healthy diet that incorporates tasty foods that their patients love.
  • Sadly, if you’re forcing yourself to do the kale thing, it will almost inevitably turn on you as you give up and go on a burger binge.
