Nutrition news about healthy aging

If you’re around 40, do you know that by the time you and nine of your friends hit age 70, chances are only one of you will be disease-free and have good physical, mental and cognitive health? Yikes!

Well, you all have a chance to change that, according to researchers at Harvard’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health. They looked at 30 years of data on over 100,000 and found that people who ate a healthy diet from age 40 onward were up to 84% more likely to be in great shape physically and mentally when they hit 70 than those who didn’t.

The healthy eating patterns that boosted future well-being included getting lots of nuts, legumes and low-fat dairy, plus fruits, vegetables, whole grains and healthy fats. Conversely, people who ate a lot of trans fat, sodium, total meats, and red and processed meats sabotaged their chance to experience healthy aging.

But don’t wait until you’re in your 40s to clean up your nutritional act. Another new study out of Tufts University followed 3,000 people from age 4 to 70. It shows that poor nutritional habits started in childhood have a major impact on brain function as you age. In fact, it found that only 8% of folks who had a lifetime of poor nutrition were able to maintain high cognitive function as seniors.
