Registered Dietitians, Recommend Eating These Foods, if You’re Over 50.br Registered Dietitians, Recommend Eating These Foods, if You’re Over 50.br It’s no secret that as we age, br we begin to have particular dietary needs. .br Thankfully, there arebr a number of foods thatbr can provide your body withbr the nutrients it needs.br Here are six dietitian-recommended foodsbr that you should be eating if you’re over 50. .br 1. Dairy.br As you age, your risk for osteoporosisbr increases ... Yogurt is a perfect food high inbr calcium as well as vitamin D which helpsbr calcium absorption. Yogurt is also rich inbr probiotics which helps promote gut health,  Lisa Young, PhD, RDN, via 'Eat This, Not That!'.br 2. High-Quality Protein.br One thing that gains importance as you getbr older is getting enough protein. If your dietbr is too low in protein and physical activitybr is not maintained, it can lead to sarcopenia,br or muscle wasting as you age, Ricci-Lee Hotz, MS, RDN, via 'Eat This, Not That!'.br 3. Oats.br Oats contain a soluble fiber calledbr beta-glucan, and consuming at leastbr 30 grams of fiber is a good bet. Oats offerbr additional benefits for the over 50br crowd—they help keep blood sugarbr steady and keep you feeling full which isbr perfect for watching your weight, Lisa Young, PhD, RDN, via 'Eat This, Not That!'.br 4. Flax Seeds.br Flax seeds are an excellent source of bothbr insoluble and soluble fiber which helps tobr keep bowel movements regular. Flax seedsbr are also a rich source of ALA, a plant-basedbr omega 3 fatty acid, which can help lowerbr the risk of heart attack and strokes, Theresa Gentile, MS, RDN, CDN, via 'Eat This, Not That!'.br 5. Sweet Potatoes.br Sweet potatoes are a complexbr carbohydrate with nearly 5 grams of fiberbr per potato. Fiber has been shown to helpbr with digestion, improved gut health,br and stabilizing blood sugar, Sarah Schlichter, MPH, RDN, via 'Eat This, Not That!'.br 6. Blueberries.br Blueberries are a wonderful 'brainbr food' for aging.
