Must eat foods in your diet

1 mins to read
In a recent article we looked at which foods are a must for the over 50’s and the reasons why they are so good for us. But the very mention of ‘new’ and ‘healthy’ foods can be a little daunting for some if you haven’t eaten or cooked with them before.


Start your day with a bowl of porridge made from oats, topped with fresh blueberries, a teaspoon of honey and serve with your choice of milk- whether it is dairy, soy or rice.

When the mid morning munchies kick in, snack on some homemade trail mix that includes raw nuts like almonds, cashews, walnuts, dried apricots, sultanas, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds.

Now the mention of soy foods like tofu is - more often than not- greeted without much enthusiasm. But it’s all in the cooking! For lunch or dinner, marinade some tofu with garlic, ginger, tamari and lemon juice and then add it to a stir fry with green veggies like broccolini, and snow peas, capsicum and other fresh veg. Then serve with brown rice.

Salmon grilled or baked served with a leafy green salad of rocket, baby sinach, green beans with baby tomatoes and pine nuts and lemon juice will round out your day of healthy eating for healthy ageing.

And of course there’s always the occasional sip of red wine  to complement your meal.

Bon appétit!
