7 healthy food people should eat<\/h2>\n

When we are young, our bodies have certain nutritional needs. As we age our nutritional needs change, and so do our metabolism. That is why when you are young, you can eat almost anything you want and not gain any weight, but as you age you seem to gain weight by simply looking at food.<\/p>\n

When you reach 50, there are some foods that it is crucial that you eat. The following seven foods should be mandatory on the diet of every person over the age of 50.<\/p>\n

1. Beans<\/h2>\n

Every person over the age of 50 needs to be eating plenty of beans. Beans are fiber rich and they can help to reduce the amount of bad cholesterol in your blood. Many people do not realize that those beans will also help to improve their A1C numbers. That means that beans help to keep blood sugar levels at a more constant rate. You can eat fresh beans, dried beans, or canned beans, and still get the healthy benefits from them.<\/p>\n

2. Oats<\/h2>\n

As you get older your risk of coronary episodes, and coronary diseases increases. To lower your risk you can add healthy grains like oats to your diet. Oats are high in fiber and they help to lower the bad cholesterol. They are also inexpensive and fit better into the budgets of people on fixed incomes than dry cereals do.<\/p>\n

3. Apples<\/h2>\n

You have heard that an apple a day will keep the doctor away. Apples are chock full of heart healthy<\/a> fiber. This simple fruit can help you to lower your cholesterol scores. If you eat the peeling you get more of the fiber benefit, but if you have diarrhea you can peel the apple and eat just the flesh to help naturally correct your intestinal discomfort.<\/p>\n

4. Nuts<\/h2>\n

You can reduce your chances of having a heart attack, or stroke, by adding healthy nuts to your diet. Snacking on an ounce of nuts a day is beneficial, but do not eat more than that amount daily because nuts are high in calories.<\/p>\n

5. Leafy Greens<\/h2>\n

Leafy greens are low in calories, high in fiber, and high in other important nutrients that will help you to have strong bones, and a strong mind as you age.<\/p>\n

6. Berries<\/h2>\n

Berries are naturally sweet and berries like strawberries and blueberries can help you to have higher cognitive abilities as you age. Berries help to increase the blood flow to the brain and they help to reduce the amount of inflammation you have. They are delicious and nutritious.<\/p>\n

7. Yogurt<\/h2>\n

As we age we start to lose muscle. Eating protein throughout the day can help you to retain more of your muscle mass for a longer period of time. Greek yogurt is a great source of high-quality protein. It is easy to digest and will also help to keep the levels of good bacteria high in your body so your digestive system works properly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
