Avoid processed foods entirely. 65% in carbohydrates with high fiber and whole foods. Choose your fat in your low-fat diet carefully with high amounts of monounsaturated and Omega 3 fats, particularly EPD and DHA. Boost your protein to 20% minimum, as protein digestion is not as good in old age, and there is significant muscle loss.
Diet in Old Age

I am a voracious reader and also enjoy writing. I often have a very different point of view than the popular one. I do see value in debate, and thought it might add to the public debate on controversial issues if I were to express my contrarian opinions. I also started keeping my poems recently (I've written little pieces my whole adult life but never kept any); and I've been a photographer now for over 25 years. So I will be adding an occasional poem and hopefully interesting photograph to the blog along the way, just to spice things up. View all posts by Henry Barnard
