Middle Age

• Middle age is crucial for maintaining a balanced diet with proper nutrition.
• Metabolism typically slows down in 40s and 50s, leading to weight gain and risk of chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, and cancer.
• Consuming nutrient-dense foods and controlling portion sizes are important.
• Emphasis should be on complex carbohydrates like whole grains, lean proteins like chicken, fish, beans, and a variety of fruits and vegetables.
• Calcium and vitamin D are needed to support bone health as bone density starts to decline.
• Maintaining hydration and regular physical activity can help with weight management and overall health.
