Welcome to Dishing Up Nutrition, brought to 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, 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 months 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. With what you're saying with the quality ingredients, I love that. Yeah. And with like what

you're saying with deprivation, I think sometimes people rebel then.
