At the age of more then 50 what food make me healthy ?

Question

please tell me about dailly food rutine that will help me good health.

Answer 1

At this age u need to simply intake LESS food...U must cut out extra sprinkles of salt/sugar....and lessen your meat intake. You must walk at least 3x/wk. Keep in contact w/ family & friends. Avoid depressive moods like the plague....and continue sexual activity....a hug , squeeze, and kiss is needed regularly.

Answer 2

At this age if you are already eating everything.

Then, I suggest that for good health eat eveything but learn to keep a tab on the your diet.

Never over-eat.
Take 4 small meals a day instead of 3 big meals a day.
Oily/Fried/maida - these food avoid or just have them once a week.

Take your meals timely. It does matter a lot for good heath.

Try and fast once a week - On this day you can choose
- a liquid diet consisting of just juices all day.
- a fruit and salad died.
- Only curd.

This kind of diet not only helps people above 50 but also people who are overweight, and all ages.

Answer 3

I am also 50+. I believe from my own experience that one should eat what one likes but in moderation. Why are we living if we cannot eat what we enjoy. Increase intake of fruits and salads, curd, juices. If vegetarian, have some nuts like peanuts, almonds etc. Decrease intake of fried foods and sweets. Use less oil or ghee for daily cooking. Do atleast 10min vigorous exercise daily and atleast 5min of breathing exercises. This should keep you reasonably fit assuming you are a non smoker and moderate or non drinker. Everybody's metabolic rate is different so you should experiment to see what suits you best.

Answer 4

Rule # 1. Try to avoid everything white, white rice, potatoes, butter. Carbs are not good for maintaining age.
Rule # 2: As one ages their metabolism slightly weakens, more in women than men, but equally for both. In this case, it is vital to avoid fatty foods like SUGARS, and FATS. This is very important for health because of many reasons like cholesterol, blood pressure, and a variety of many things.
Rule # 3: Stay away form oil.. Indian food often contains a lot of oil so try to use vegetable oil and use it sparingly.

As for a food routine remember to eat small meals, but more times a day. Four time is ideal. Breakfast is always most important so do not avoid it. Make sure you follow food rules and add a lot of protein, calcium and vitamins to your food because as one get older it is important to keep yourself and your body and bones healthy!!!

You should drink at least two to three litres of water daily.sleep early and go for an early morning brisk walk for fortyfive minutes. you can keep yourself healthy with this life style.

Answer 7

watch your cholesterol intake and fat intake eat lean meats fish and try soy based products..eat veggies as much as you can as well as fruits..blueberries, strawberries are great for vit C & antioxidants. drink at least 8 eight ounce glasses of water daily and make sure to exercise, walk and lift some weights

Answer 8

The same food that got you to 50, but less of it if you are not exercising.

Answer 9

o Good, but small, Breakfast (limit bad fats and cholesterol).
o Snack in mid morning (an apple, banana, peach, pear, fruit smoothie that you make yourself--Jamba Juice has lots of calories)
o Small lunch with veggies (salad is okay, but go for spinach or other leafy greens stir fried in peanut oil with tofu--you need protein!) and multi-grain rice
o Small snack in mid-afternoon (carrots, grape tomatoes [good for the prostrate!], celery, cucumber sandwich, tuna fish sandwich [limit mayo and add chopped celery and a little finley chopped onion]) with Silk soymilk
o Good evening meal (small portions) with protein, veggies, and a little bit of grains/starches; limit alcohol to one beer/glass of wine--adds LOTS of empty calories
o A small snack 2 hours before bed--make sure that you don't eat at least 2 hours before you go to bed--adds body fat quickly!

There are a LOT of great recipes on-line, in Food & Wine magazine, and other resources. Substitue low calorie flavorings (DO NOT replace butter with margarine--fake butter is MUCH worse for you than real butter) when possible, and use Olive Oil in your cooking. Cook soups with tofu and green leafy veggies (1 can of chicken broth; 1 can of filtered water; 1 container of silken tofu, cubed; 1" long peice of ginger, julienned; 1/8 tsp ground white pepper; 2/3 cup soy bean peas; 3 - 4 tblsp olive oil; 1 package of fresh baby bok choy, well rinsed and cut in half [substitute other green leafy veggie EXCEPT spinach--there's apparently a chemical reaction between hot spinach and tofu that creates free radicals or something in the body - avoid mixing the two when spinach is stir fried or boiled]--put all ingredients in a pot (except the veggies) and boil for 10 - 15 minutes. Add the soy bean peas. Bring to boil for 3 minutes, and add the baby bok choy (or other green leafy veggie). Bring to boil, add olive oil and stir, and remove from heat. Wait 5 minutes and serve garnished with green onion (scallions) and enjoy! Yum!

Low calorie, good fats, good nutrition, tasty, and great for you!
