Once men turn their 50s, the level of metabolism declines. According to the viewpoint of the physicians at Evan Bass Men’s Clinic, due to this, it becomes vital to let their body get needed foods while avoiding or just limiting certain foods like surgery foods, red meat, or junk ones regardless of their health condition. Sticking to a healthy diet plan and changing lifestyle is the key to avoiding weight gain and potential health issues like high blood pressure and, an increase in blood sugar level leading to heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, etc. Make sure to incorporate nutrient-rich foods into every diet plan to boost overall well-being as stated below:
Potassium-rich foods
Foods rich in potassium such as peas, spinach, broccoli, oranges, tomatoes, low-fat milk, and fish like tuna, etc. are must-haves since they help fight the adverse effects of sodium while lowering blood pressure levels. Noteworthy it is a mineral, which is great for keeping the heart healthy. Consuming an amount of 3,600 milligrams of potassium daily supports the body to process sodium, relax the blood vessels, and bring the blood pressure to the desired level.
Avocado
Having avocados rich in healthy fats can lessen the risks of cardiovascular disease and obesity. Studies have proven individuals who incorporate avocados into their regular balanced diet can benefit by losing weight, lessening body mass index, and having thinner waists. Make sure to include avocados in breakfast, sandwiches, and salads.
Cherries and Berries
Being a rich source of calcium, iron, magnesium, vitamin C, etc. cherries contain anti-inflammatory properties, and thereby help mitigate joint pain, gout, and inflammation. Studies establish that cherries and berries not only combat pain and inflammation but their antioxidant properties works are much safer than using anti-inflammatory drugs. Equally, they are ideal for counterbalancing the strain on the lungs and heart resulting from exercise and physical activity. Having tart cherry juice can help ease gout, arthritis, and osteoarthritis which are widely experienced by males over 50.
Eggs
Men over 50 are recommended to essentially include eggs in their diet plan as their high protein contents are ideal to neutralize the effects of weakening muscle mass. Apart from being a great source of lean protein, the nutrient-rich eggs get the needed energy to the body while aiding to stop obesity as a great part of the diet plan.
According to Evan Bass Men’s Clinic, since testosterone is the key driving force for male sexual life and due to aging its level naturally drops, incorporating testosterone booster foods can contribute to boosting testosterone naturally. Some of these foods include
Tuna: due to its high amount of Vitamin D content, Tune is known as ideal for heightening the levels of testosterone.
Eggs: Similarly eggs are another rich source of vitamin D. Make sure to intake yolks without fail.
Milk and Dairy Products: Fortified milk is a major source of Vitamin D that not only protects elderly individuals from low T but also great to increases its level.
Grapes: specifically the skins of grapes are a great source to boost T level and also boost the mobility of sperm.
