Adults over the age of 50 have to practice healthy eating in
order to gain benefits such as resistance to disease and illness, better
management of chronic health issues, increased mental acuteness, faster
recovery times and higher energy levels. Eating well can also help you stay
emotionally balanced and have a positive attitude.
The nutritional requirements of men change as a result of
natural ageing. Many people get sick, especially as they get older, due to
making poor food choices, getting no exercise and smoking cigarettes but the
good news is that many of these can be reversed providing you do so in time.
One good tip is to take B12 supplements. This vitamin is
used to support healthy nerve and blood cells and to make DNA. B12 becomes more
difficult to absorb from food as we age because of a decrease in stomach acid.
B12 supplements are particularly recommended for vegans, due to most B12 being
mainly found in meat and fish.
Vitamin D levels and our rate of calcium absorption tend to
drop drastically after we reach the age of 40. Adding rich sources of calcium
to your diet such as low-fat milk, yogurt, sardines, kale, broccoli and spinach
is always a good idea.
