Still gotta start eating like a Buddhist monk.
I started eating right when I hit 48. I can honestly say I feel great. Just from good nutrition. No more aches, pains. Knees are great. No more bloating or reflux. I've had positional PVCs my entire life, and while I know they're there, I don't feel or notice them as often as I once did. Cardiologist says I have the green light.
Key measures that drive my entire nutrition plan:
4700 mg potassium / 2000 mg sodium a day
4800 mg n-3/day at 3:1 ratio with n-6 (n-6:n-3)
420 mg magnesium a day
30/40/30 macros
30 g fiber/day
<15 g added sugar/day
Never ever ever eat a meal or meal component made in a factory
If I hit those marks each day, through real food and no supplements or vitamin pills, I know I'm eating healthy. I don't really look at total calories, because if you're eating real food and hitting those marks you get stuffed pretty quick with veggies. The only real supplement I take is a little protein powder in my oatmeal.
