Healthy Aging and Your Diet: 5 Menu Tips to Help You Stay Young
Fear of aging and it’s inevitable conclusion inspires people to do some crazy and expensive things. Longevity schemes ranging from restrictive eating regimes, growth hormone injections to miracle supplements coax billions of dollars from America’s baby boomers every year. Peddlers of these products would have you believe that you can stop the biological clock for the right price.
[No matter what we do of course we are not getting out of here alive, but you can take steps to keep your body robust, strong, and nimble for as many years as possible - life is simply full of so many beautiful things to see and experience. There is a revolution in how we think about aging in this country.]
Along with exercise, avoiding toxins and reducing stress What You Eat can have a powerful effect on how you age. The goal isn’t to stop aging but to delay the onset and reduce the risk of age related disease. Right now the best way to do this is to eat the right foods and in the right quantities. The recent animal based study released about the restrictive diet experiment and it’s effect on age allegedly proves eating less adds years to your life- but how many years in humans has yet to be proven.
Also do you really want to deprive yourself of the pleasure of eating to add a few years? It’s something to think about. The authors of the study recommend a 30% reduction in the amount of food you eat, but I believe if you just ate 15% less you would see dramatic changes in your health and appearance.
I would rather take a proactive approach and focus on What You Can Eat that will help you live longer, smarter and stronger.

Faster Fat Loss Recipes And The Cooking Club
Last week Sunday was the first meeting of my cooking group. It’s me and 3 other guys who get together on the weekend and try out new healthy recipes so we’ll have ready to go healthy meals in the freezer during out hectic work week.
[The cooking club - a support squad for clean eating.]
A Cooking Support Squad Works For Several Reasons:
- It’s great EXCUSE to socialize with like minded health oriented guys who love to cook and eat fresh home made food.
- It gives us a chance to try those recipes that we never quite get to try and accumulate in the dusty corners of our cabinets.
- It creates a sense of accountability to others- you can’t let the others down by not pulling your weight and doing your share.
- The weight of a deadline creates an urgency that leads to action and creativity, especially in managing time.
- It pulls you out of your old eating ruts- Most of us eat the same 15 foods over and over without even realizing how predictable we are.
- Portion Control- Most guys despite eating a healthful diet tend to overeat and underestimate portions sizes. We portion our meals into freezable microwaveable containers and know exactly how many calories we’re getting.

Eat This For Faster Fat Loss
Trying to lose a few pounds? Aren’t we all! One of the techniques I’ve learned over the years in coaching my clients who have trouble with cravings and portion control is the “apple trick”. If you have a big restaurant meal coming up perhaps a party with tempting foods or a banquet where you have few healthy choices ,the best way to keep your appetite and your calories in check is to eat an apple before you go. The fiber and the pectin in the skin of the apple expand in your stomach and create a sense of fullness and satisfaction.
[The fruit pectin and fiber found in apples curb your appetite. Plus apples taste delicious. That saying might be true after all. "An apple a day..."]
Have You Seen Those Ads For The Diet Pills That Curb Your Appetite?
They contain fruit pectin and fiber. Save your money and eat apples – they’re much better for you and a lot cheaper. Other fruits like pears, grapefruit, plums, apricots and peaches have similar qualities.
