As we get older, we need less food, but more nutrients to stay<br \/>\nhealthy. Here are vitamin-rich options to include in your daily diet.<\/p>\n<p>1. Brown rice. A lot of people shy away from carbohydrates because of<br \/>\ntheir reputation for causing weight gain, but they&#8217;re crucial for<br \/>\nmaintaining energy levels. Stick to whole grains such as brown rice and<br \/>\nbread, and whole-grain cereals, which provide plenty of fiber. This can<br \/>\nhelp to lower cholesterol levels, reduce your risk of heart disease,<br \/>\ncolon cancer, gall stones, diabetes and obesity, and is vital for<br \/>\nkeeping your bowels healthy &#8212; they can become less active as we age.<\/p>\n<p>2. Eggs. They&#8217;ve had a lot of bad press, but eggs are good for you &#8212;<br \/>\nand now it seems there&#8217;s no need to avoid them, even if you&#8217;re worried<br \/>\nabout cholesterol. They&#8217;re a great source of protein and lutein, which<br \/>\nprotects your eyes against degeneration and cataracts. Studies suggest<br \/>\nthey can help to prevent blood clots, reducing the risk of heart attack<br \/>\nand stroke &#8212; a recent study found that eating six eggs a week lowered<br \/>\nthe risk of breast cancer by 44 percent. Nutritionists now say having<br \/>\none or two eggs a day doesn&#8217;t cause a noticeable increase in<br \/>\ncholesterol levels because the body makes its own from the saturated<br \/>\nfats in our diet and not from cholesterol-rich foods like eggs.<\/p>\n<p>3. Milk. As we age, our calcium requirements rise, so it&#8217;s important to<br \/>\ninclude lots of calcium-rich foods in your diet every day. Low-fat<br \/>\ncow&#8217;s milk has loads of health benefits. It&#8217;s packed full of calcium,<br \/>\nneeded for strong, healthy bones and for preventing osteoporosis. It<br \/>\nalso helps prevent the bone loss caused by the menopause or rheumatoid<br \/>\narthritis. Drink two glasses of low-fat milk every day, or include<br \/>\nlow-fat yogurts and calcium-enriched fruit juices in your diet.<\/p>\n<p>4. Spinach. Popeye had the right idea fueling up on this superfood.<br \/>\nCalorie for calorie, it holds more nutrients than any other food. It&#8217;s<br \/>\na particularly good source of iron; vitamins C, A and K; and<br \/>\nantioxidants which may help to protect against heart attack and stroke.<br \/>\nSpinach can help protect you from colon cancer, osteoporosis and<br \/>\narthritis. Like eggs, it&#8217;s packed with lutein &#8212; great for your eyes &#8212;<br \/>\nso try a breakfast of steamed spinach with poached eggs.<\/p>\n<p>5. Bananas. Just one of these yellow fruits provides a whopping 467<br \/>\nmilligrams of potassium, which is important for keeping your muscles<br \/>\nstrong and healthy (particularly the heart) and even helps reduce high<br \/>\nblood pressure. Bananas are a good source of fiber, which can help<br \/>\nprevent heart disease, and they have an antacid effect, so they&#8217;re<br \/>\nuseful for treating heartburn.<\/p>\n<p>Add chopped bananas to oatmeal for a vitamin-rich breakfast, or blend<br \/>\nthem with a bit of low-fat yogurt or milk and some fruit juice for a<br \/>\npower-packed smoothie. Other good sources of potassium are lentils,<br \/>\nsardines and dried apricots.<\/p>\n<p>6. Chicken. Not only is it one of the most versatile meats, it&#8217;s one of<br \/>\nthe healthiest. Stick to the breast, which has the least fat, and<br \/>\nremove the skin.<\/p>\n<p>Chicken is packed with protein and helps prevent bone loss. It&#8217;s also a<br \/>\ngood source of selenium, an important nutrient in preventing cancer,<br \/>\nand B vitamins, which help to increase energy and boost your brain<br \/>\npowers.<\/p>\n<p>7. Salmon. It&#8217;s rich in omega-3 fats, which reduce cholesterol levels,<br \/>\nprotect against some cancers, and prevent blood clotting. Research has<br \/>\nalso shown that salmon can help ease depression and prevent memory<br \/>\nloss. It&#8217;s a good source of niacin, which has been shown to provide<br \/>\nprotection against Alzheimer&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>Aim to eat fresh or tinned salmon at least three times a week. Walnuts are another great source of omega-3s.<\/p>\n<p>8. Blueberries. These little marvels are very low in calories, but<br \/>\nbursting with nutrients. They are packed with antioxidants that help to<br \/>\nprevent cataracts, glaucoma, varicose veins, hemorrhoids, stomach<br \/>\nulcers, heart disease and cancer.<\/p>\n<p>They have also been shown to help lessen brain damage after a stroke<br \/>\nand reduce inflammation in the digestive tract &#8212; helping to tackle<br \/>\nconstipation and diarrhea.<\/p>\n<p>9. Herbs. As we age, our sense of taste declines, and it&#8217;s all too easy<br \/>\nto chuck in tons of salt to make food more appetizing. But as salt<br \/>\nincreases your blood pressure, it&#8217;s healthier to jazz up your meals by<br \/>\nadding herbs and spices. Fresh herbs tend to taste stronger, but for<br \/>\nconvenience, keep a selection of dried herbs in the cupboard.<\/p>\n<p>10. Garlic. For such a small vegetable, garlic has huge benefits. It<br \/>\nhelps prevent cancers, heart disease and reduces the risk of stroke. It<br \/>\nalso has an anti-inflammatory effect, helping to reduce pain and<br \/>\nswelling caused by osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. It can also<br \/>\nhelp those with diabetes. If you can&#8217;t stand the flavor, try taking<br \/>\ntaste-free garlic capsules.<\/p>\n<p>Four Things to Avoid:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; * Sweets: These will make you pile on the pounds as<br \/>\nthey provide lots of calories, but no nutrients. Limit your sugar<br \/>\nintake, too.<br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; * Salt: Your sense of taste diminishes as you age,<br \/>\nbut avoid adding salt as it increases blood pressure. And look out for<br \/>\n&quot;hidden&quot; salt in gravy mixes, etc.<br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; * Alcohol: Have no more than two small drinks a day<br \/>\n&#8212; booze is full of calories and can stop your body absorbing vitamins.<br \/>\nRed wine is a healthier choice.<br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; * Saturated fats: These are found in meats, cheese,<br \/>\nchicken skin and ice cream. They increase your cholesterol levels and<br \/>\nmake you put on weight.<br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; * ****<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&quot;Goreng Durian&#8221;&nbsp; looks like goreng pisang at $1.60 at piece,&nbsp; &#8211; at Old Airport Road Hawker centre&nbsp; #1-05&nbsp; &nbsp; Comment: Fantastic better than normal durain , as it feels hot , 10 times better than apple pie, I think if someone&nbsp; MacDurian this and be the latest hot cake in town like Papa Roti . &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/silverhairsclub.com\/?p=1552\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Fried Durian and 10 Fastastic Food for Over 50s&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":195,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14,2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1552","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-14","category-2"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/silverhairsclub.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1552","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/silverhairsclub.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/silverhairsclub.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/silverhairsclub.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/195"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/silverhairsclub.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1552"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/silverhairsclub.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1552\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/silverhairsclub.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1552"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/silverhairsclub.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1552"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/silverhairsclub.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1552"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
