8 Nutrition Tips to Help You Age Well
Healthy
Living
by presented by
Tina Steve M. Amante Gottlieb, D.C.
As we get older, we’re all going to
get sore, tired, and diseased, right? Of
course not! It is possible to age very gently
and healthfully. That’s not to say that
you will never suffer any health problems,
but many people enjoy decades of
great health.
The main key to preventing disease
and preserving your youth is to provide
your body with the right fuel. Think of
your body as an expensive foreign sports
car, and provide it with premium fuel and
preventive measures. Remember these
nutrition tips to boost energy and ward
off disease.
Reduce sugar. Yeah, we know you
love Mom’s brownies. But studies have
linked high-sugar diets to low bone mineral
density (brittle bones). And of course
sugar makes you gain weight, which is
linked to all sorts of problems. It even
depresses your immune system. It’s okay
to indulge here and there, but remember
to go light on the sugar.
Eat enough fiber. Fiber prevents
colon diseases like diverticular disease,
which affects only the occasional adult
under 30, but up to 66 percent of those
over 80. In other words, your odds of
developing colon disease increase with
age, so fight it with fiber.
Indulge in seafood. Fatty fish
like salmon, tuna, mackerel, and halibut
reduce inflammation in the body and prevent
problems like arthritis, strokes, bone
loss, memory disorders and heart disease.
Of course, remember that preparation is
key; grill or bake your selection, rather
than breading or frying it.
Remember your potassium.
Consume your recommended daily allowance
of potassium each day. Potassium
can reduce bone loss, prevent kidney
stones, and lower your blood pressure.
Use herbs. Herbs add flavor to food,
which can prevent over-salting. But they
also contain powerful disease-fighting
antioxidants! So be generous with the
basil, oregano, rosemary, and any other
herb that appeals to you.
Remember your calcium. If
you’re sensitive to lactose, you might
still be able to tolerate lower- lactose
dairy options like yogurt and cheese.
Otherwise, take a calcium supplement
each day to support bone health.
Get your free vitamins. Sunlight
helps your body produce vitamin D,
which boosts your mood, increases bone
density, and helps you sleep at night. It
can also reduce the symptoms of menopause,
protect against certain cancers,
and prevent arthritis and autoimmune
diseases. So get outside often, and include
vitamin D rich foods like fish, egg
yolks, and fortified cereals in your diet.
Stay hydrated. Water always
makes the list in any nutrition advice article.
That should tell you something; it’s
important! Make an effort to drink those
eight eight-ounce glasses of water daily.
