8. Read nutrition labels
Among all the things mentioned above, reading labels is very important, especially for older people. Before purchasing anything, whether canned or in bulk, carefully read all of the information on the nutrition label. Even if it is promoted as a healthy option, it may be packed with extra sodium, fat, and sugar that you won’t notice until you carefully read the label. It won’t take longer than a couple of minutes!
9. Eat the right amount of protein
Getting the right amount of protein on a daily basis is very important for your overall health. Besides being the most filling macronutrient, proteins have the ability to restore the muscles and give you strength. Don’t stress too much over this issue!
You can easily reach your protein goal for the day by simply eating delicious foods that are super high in protein, and some of them are: chicken breast, eggs, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, and fatty fish like salmon or tuna.
