What we eat can cut the risk of developing chronic diseases that make us old before our time: high blood pressure, diabetes and obesity. Abundant scientific research has shown how important food is to healthy aging. 

What is meant by “anti-aging”? It’s not a vague beauty term, its markers are radiant hair, skin, daily physical activity, a positive mindset and preventing chronic disease. 

Fifty may be the new 40, but one biological fact does change over time: some nutrient demands do increase, so the importance of nutrient DENSE foods becomes more important for as we get older. Science-backed healthy eating plans, like the Mediterranean diet and the USDA’s MyPlate strategy, have this in common:  

• abundant colorful fruits and vegetables

• lean protein (both animal and plant sources)

• heart healthy, unsaturated fats

• fiber-rich grains

• low-fat dairy products (or equivalent). 

• limiting processed foods with added salts, sugars, fats, and calories
