5 Foods you should eat more after 50 years old to help you live a happy, healthy and long life

(VTC News) - Middle-aged people aged 50 and over, if they increase their healthy diet, not only have good health but can also prolong their life.

When a person turns 50, work and family life will often be more stable, so people also pay more attention to health care when entering middle age to help live a happy, healthy and long life.

Mr. Quach Dai Ve said that people over 50 years old should eat more of the following 5 foods:

1.Berries

The berry is rich in fiber, vitamin C and flavonoids. Flavonoids can produce large amounts of antioxidants in the body, help inhibit inflammation, reduce brain decline, enhance long-term and short-term memory, thereby preventing dementia. A study published in Nature's Scientific Reports in 2022 found that berry-based foods benefit brain cognitive function, memory performance, and processing speed.

2.Vegetables are dark green

Dark green vegetables such as broccoli, kale, spinach, and sweet potato leaves have relatively high fiber content, which is good for the intestinal system and reduces the risk of heart disease.

3.Fish

Eating lots of fish helps supplement EPA, Omega-3 and DHA, which are beneficial for brain development and help inhibit vascular inflammation. Many people like to eat sweets and fatty foods, which will accumulate a lot of LDL low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in the blood vessels. Eating fish helps eliminate these bad cholesterol, restores blood vessel elasticity and reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease.

4.Nuts

Nuts are rich in vitamin E and minerals such as phosphorus, magnesium, and potassium. If eaten in reasonable amounts, it will be good for your health. Studies show that nuts are rich in healthy fatty acids, protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals, which help improve blood sugar levels, and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

5.Soybeans (soybeans)

Soybeans and soy milk are rich in iron, potassium, magnesium and other elements that are beneficial to the body. Magnesium also has the effect of supporting sleep, helping you sleep more deeply, which is beneficial for menopausal women.

Potassium can help lower blood pressure and reduce complications of hypertension and cardiovascular disease. In addition, potassium is also found in many fiber-rich plants such as vegetables, fruits, nuts, oatmeal, whole grain bread, and brown rice.
