Aging Well Starts on the Plate
What we eat in midlife and beyond has a significant impact on how we age — influencing everything from joint health to memory to cardiovascular function.
Nutrients That Matter More With Age
Protein — helps maintain muscle mass, which naturally declines with age.
Calcium and vitamin D — support bone density.
Omega-3s — linked to cardiovascular and cognitive health.
Fiber — supports digestion and heart health.
Practical Tips
- Include a protein source at every meal
- Prioritize colorful vegetables for antioxidants
- Stay hydrated, as thirst cues often diminish with age
- Limit ultra-processed foods high in sodium and added sugar
