Olive Oil
When you are 55 and older, your heart is no longer as strong as it used to be when you were 30. Remember that and do all possible to strengthen it and improve your condition if you know you already have cardiovascular issues. Estrogen increases the risk of developing heart disease. Protect this important organ and switch to a Mediterranean menu. It is full of sea foods and olive oil. Combine these two with plenty of green vegetables and your heart will be healthy.
What should people eat in their 60’s?
Shellfish
Do you often eat mussels? If so, you are doing it right! Another two foods you can include in your menu are clams as well as prawns. All of them are full of vitamin B12. People in their 60’s need more of this vitamin, but the problem is that their bodies do not produce enough stomach acids to help the cells to absorb the vitamin. If you consume plenty of yogurt, eggs, milk and salmon, it means your level of vitamin B12 is sufficient. As we all know, vitamin B12 fights dementia.
