11 Must Eat Foods to Slow Aging & Mobility Issues
BRIAN VASZILY
Protecting your ability to move freely – without suffering and becoming dependent on drugs, devices, and other people – is mission-critical to protect your quality of life. The data shows mobility problems often begin at age 50 or younger. And for those 65 and older, mobility loss becomes the most common disability. However, you have immense power to avoid and even reverse this with very simple actions you can start taking right away. And one of the best places to start is by eating more anti-inflammatory foods, and foods that support muscle and bone health.
Eating a wide range of colorful, whole plant foods is a great way to lower inflammation levels in the body and reduce risk of many chronic diseases, including heart disease, that can negatively impact your mobility. More specifically, you can focus on foods that contain good amounts of antioxidants, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and omega-3 fatty acids — all of which combat inflammation.
Protein is the most critical nutrient needed to build and maintain muscle strength, but unfortunately, as much as half of older adults in the U.S. fall short on hitting their necessary daily protein targets. Plant-based protein sources can also help fight inflammation. To maintain bone density, your body especially needs calcium, magnesium, vitamin D, and vitamin K. These nutrients, combined with physical activity, help protect bone integrity as you age.
