Fueling Your Body in Your 50s and 60s IT’S ALL ABOUT HEALTHY AGING!

50th birthdays are often filled with mixed feelings about aging, wisdom, experiences, and pride. Many are thrilled to be close to retirement, becoming grandparents, and entering a new stage of life. However, as we age, our bodies change, and it’s essential to focus on properly nourishing that changing body. Here are some dietary tips to ensure your body gets all the nutrition it needs to flourish and thrive in your 50s and 60s! CONSUME AMPLE PROTEIN. Protein is vital for building and maintaining lean muscle mass, which supports metabolism, boosts immunity, and keeps your body strong. While lean meats, fish, and poultry are excellent protein sources, remember that protein is also present in eggs, tofu, lentils, beans, seeds, nuts, and dairy products. DON’T SKIMP OUT ON FISH. Chronic diseases such as dementia, strokes, heart disease, and diabetes become more

common in our later years. Healthy omega-3 fatty acids are essential to combat these issues and reduce inflammation in our bodies. Fish is high in these nutrients, but if you aren’t a fan of fish, you can also find these healthy fats in walnuts, chia seeds, hemp seeds, and supplements. Best of all, omega-3 fatty acids are proven to lower the rate of mental deterioration! INCLUDE CALCIUM. As we age, our bones become increasingly prone to osteoporosis, a decrease in bone mass. High-calcium foods such as milk, yogurt, cheese, leafy greens, and soy products are chock-full of calcium, a critical nutrient that supports bone development and health. STICK TO WHOLE FOODS. Processed foods, which are linked to weight gain, health complications, and heart disease, are usually high in sodium, saturated fats, and calories and lack beneficial nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. Opt for fresh and frozen

vegetables, whole grains, meats, and healthy fats to promote optimal health.

OPT FOR WATER. Sugary drinks and juices wreak havoc on your waistline and can lead to diabetes and other health conditions. Water is the best way to maintain hydration and fuel your body’s daily functions properly!
