Can Nutrition Help Slow Down the Aging Process?
By Jim O'Neill
We all age. That fact is inevitable. But a lot of the negative changes that take place in our bodies are not. As we age, we become more susceptible to such things as heart disease, osteoporosis, diabetes, and arthritis. However, medical research has shown that proper can slow down and even prevent many of these ailments.
It is estimated that nearly one half of all health problems in the elderly are directly related to poor nutrition. The elderly are by and large some of the most poorly nourished people. Some reasons for this are as you age your sense of taste and smell decreases, it is harder to chew, and you just don’t feel hungry.
In some cases, financial reasons may affect the food choices made and it may be harder to get out and shop for food due to various physical factors. On top of this, as you get older your body may not be able to absorb some of the from food as well as it could when you were younger. In some cases a good multi-vitamin (preferably in liquid form) could help offset this. Your doctor can help you find one that’s right for you.
Here are a few things that you can do to plan for better
nutrition in your diet and a healthier life as you get older:
Plan out regular meals for each day and try to include vegetables in at least 2 of them every day. If you must snack, use fruits and vegetables rather than junk food like potato chips and candy.
If you have problems chewing meat, try going with things like fish and ground meats. Also try to eat more soups as they can have plenty of in them and they are great choices if you are on a budget.
Make meals more interesting by inviting a friend to lunch or dinner once in a while. Sometimes it can get boring to always eat alone and having someone over can entice you to get more creative with meals than you might when eating alone.
One thing you can do to ensure that you’ll be getting better is to make each plate colorful. Different color vegetables for example generally contain different nutrients so the idea here is, mix it up.
Growing old may be inevitable but that doesn’t mean you can’t grow old gracefully and healthier and with a steady diet of proper nutrition, you can maintain better health well into your golden years.

- How to (not!) get fat in five easy steps
You may think it's strange to find a "How-To" article focusing on five easy steps for adding fat to your body. You might say that we already know how to do that: two thirds of the people in the United States are overweight and one third are considered clinically obese. Obviously we've mastered this topic... - The Cleveland Clinic battles with McDonald's over fast food in hospitals
One of the most ridiculous things about many hospitals and surgical centers is that they host fast food restaurants like McDonald's and Pizza Hut. Now making headlines is the heated debate between the Cleveland Clinic and McDonald's restaurants. Toby Cosgrove, director of the Cleveland Clinic and a cardiovascular... - Former CEO of McDonald's dies of colon cancer at age of 44
Forty-four years of age is too young to die of anything, much less colon cancer. With this story being all over the news, there will no doubt be lots of articles pointing out the irony of it all, given the current awareness of the health risks associated with certain products served at fast food restaurants... - Kudos to Burger King for making fast food low-carb food
It's rare that I have any praise for a fast food chain, but in this
case, I applaud Burger King's move to offer bunless hamburgers to their
customers. It's being done in response to consumer demand and the
accelerating popularity of the Atkins diet, the South Beach Diet, and
other low-carb diets...
