Houston – Aging is indeed inevitable but that doesn’t mean your health should decline because of natural loss of vitamins and minerals as we get older. We just need to adapt and start working with our bodies instead of against it.
that’s the premise #1 New York Times bestselling author Dr. Ian K. Smith’s new book, “Eat Your Age: Feel Younger, Be Happier, Live Longer” Dr. Smith guides us through how to defy the effects of aging by implementing simple changes at every decade. He breaks down the exact steps to take in your 30s, 40s, 50s, and beyond to increase longevity and avoid illness and ailments.
For example:
- 30s—vitamin B6 (milk, ricotta cheese, tuna, eggs, sweet potato, bananas), magnesium (dark leafy greens, black beans, lentils, pumpkin seeds), Brussel sprouts, cauliflower
- 40s—probiotic, plant-based milk, avocado, spinach, chickpeas
- 50s—bromelain (pineapple, papaya, kiwifruit, asparagus, yogurt, sauerkraut), turmeric, berries, tomatoes, squash, carrots
- 60s+—Omega-3 (fatty fish like salmon and mackerel as well as chia, flaxseed, edamame), vitamin B12 (clams, beef, fortified cereal, tuna, milk and dairy products, fortified nondairy products), probiotic, high fiber foods (pinto beans, acorn squash, collard greens, guava, strawberries, broccoli)
Before the January 7 release of “Eat Your Age: Feel Younger, Be Happier, Live Longer”, Dr. Smith released the “Eat Your Age” recipe book with 150 recipes following his TASH System (tasty, affordable, simple, and healthy.) Each recipe has nutritional information, including calories, fiber, fat, carbs, iron, vitamins, and calcium.
“Eat Your Age: Feel Younger, Be Happier, Live Longer” is available now everywhere books are sold. Stay tuned for Jan 23 on Houston Life as Dr. Ian Smith returns to Studio B to talk about his book and cook up something TASH in the kitchen.
