[michellg]

Obstacles to proper diet, including emotional, lifestyle and physical factors, crop up as we age. But here are ways you can overcome them:

Good nutrition: Select high-fiber foods like whole-grain breads and cereals, beans, vegetables, and fruits. Cut down on refined foods like refined flour (maida) products and refined sugar. This will make you feel better, lessen fatigue and improve your sleep no matter what your age is. Limit how often you have high-fat and high-sugar snacks like cake, candy, chips, and sweetened soft drinks. Decrease your salt and sodium intake.

Hydration: Proper hydration will not only keep your body functioning efficiently but will also aid in digestion and preventing constipation. Stay hydrated by either drinking water or water-based beverages like soup, fruit juice, tea, coffee and skim milk. In addition to drinking enough water each day, aim to consume foods with a high water content like grapes, cucumbers, onions, apples, cabbage etc.

Extra Calcium: There is a continuous loss of bone calcium, especially in women, due to the change in hormone levels. Try to get required amount of calcium (1200 mg per day for 50+ year old people) by consuming calcium rich food like milk, broccoli, beans and almonds. If you think you are not getting enough of calcum through food, talk to your doctor about calcium supplements. This will keep you away from Arthritis and Osteoporosis.

As a person ages, the amount of exercise is the person decreases automatically. There should be a corresponding decrease in the amount of calories that are consumed by one person. There are times when a person consumes a little fat, but other foods that contain a large amount of calories to induce a person to have increased the number of calories. This can cause a person to have complications such as blood vessels and block the increase in cholesterol.
