Welcome, the Dishing Up Nutrition brought to you by nutritional weight and wellness.

If you are an older adult or have parents that are senior citizens, I encourage you to settle back for the next hour.

Put the breakfast dishes aside,

get a cup of coffee, maybe a cup of tea, because we are going to discuss that best nutrition for

aging well. And we'll also discuss what should you eat to maintain your muscles and your bones and

your memory, your cardiovascular health maintain your muscles and your bones and your memory, your

cardiovascular health, your skin and hair and your energy. I mean, that's good for all of us, right?

So using anti-aging foods is key. And that's what we're going to be talking about this morning.

Yeah, and of course, we want to throw on some foods that maybe you should avoid foods that age you. That could happen. If you are

thinking sugar ages me, well, you're correct. I think a realistic approach for sugar is to maybe

limit the amount of sugar and desserts that you eat, but you know it's okay to have a treat

once in a while. And when we say once in a while, well, that can mean a different thing to different

people. Not after every meal. Not after every meal. Once in a while, it could mean once a week. It could

be once a month. It could mean, you know, it could mean all kinds of things. So for me,

I think what it means is to have, well, quality treats, first of all, made with good ingredients like real fats, like butter,

not vegetable oil, real sugar or maple syrup, but not high fructose corn syrup. And, you know, maybe just

sticking to a smaller portion that satisfies you so you're not feeling deprived and frustrated.

That deprivation brain can really get in people's way. So you have to say, all right, I'm going

to have this. But if I have this, I'm going to treat my body well. Yeah. And with like what you're saying with deprivation, I think sometimes

people rebel then. If you say you can't have it, well, then that's all that they want. Well,

they're going to eat the whole, the whole bag of Oreos in two days. Right. And we've all been there. Yes, we have. And really, what we want to focus on is these quality ingredients because they are more likely

to satisfy those taste buds so that you are happy with less.
