What should you eat more of after age 60?
As we get older, nutrition becomes increasingly important for supporting heart health, brain function, bones, muscles and overall well-being.
In this Vpod.ai episode, Mike and Susan explore nine foods highlighted in nutritional research for healthy aging. The discussion covers whole grains, legumes, blueberries, nuts and seeds, coffee, cruciferous vegetables, dark leafy greens, grapes and fish.
You’ll learn why fiber-rich foods matter for cardiovascular health, how berries and leafy greens fit into a brain-conscious diet, why protein and omega-3-rich fish become increasingly important with age, and why improving your overall eating pattern matters more than relying on a single so-called superfood.
The episode also looks at foods worth limiting, including processed meats, refined grains, sugary beverages and foods high in saturated or trans fats.
