by Graham Foster

As you start aging you have to eat right in order to stay healthy. If you do not eat right, your body does not receive the nutrients it needs to stay healthy. The body requires food that promotes energy, making it work properly. Too much of certain types of food is not good for you and not enough of the right foods can be harmful to your health.

How to decide which foods to eat:

Not all food is healthy for you. For example liver is packed with iron which is needed for your blood, but you should limit your intake. Fruits and vegetables are strongly recommended But be aware that again 5 portions as day is a good guide. Don’t over do the fruit because most fruit will turn into sugars and that’s detrimental to controlling your weight. Some foods can lead to an increase in cholesterol as you get older. You may be aware that excess cholesterol is the primary cause of heart attacks and strokes.

Is there any way of knowing if I am eating right?

When you go to your doctor, he will tell you if you need to go on a diet. Your doctor will be able to tell this by your weight and your height and general health. He may put you on a diet to lose weight or if you are under weight a diet to help you gain weight. He will advise you what to eat and how much, as well as what not to eat. He will also recommend you exercise to burn off excess calories or maintain your weight.

Remember that you should always try to eat a balanced diet. Try to make sure that you only eat the amounts your doctor advises, and also get enough exercise that you need to stay healthy as you start aging. Speak to your doctor if you don’t know how to work out the amount of calories in food or what to eat he or she will be happy to help.

You’ll find support groups in every town. Ask your doctor or the local hospital to point you in the right direction. Once you find a group you’ll find people who can offer you support and advice this will help keep you going in the right direction when things get hard.

Don’t try and do too much to quickly you’ll find you can always revise your plans in the future. Set targets you can expect to achieve with a bit of effort. Don’t make it easy but don’t aim to high either. It takes a lot of will power, grit and determination but you can do it if you really try.
