Choosing healthy foods as you age

Choosing healthy foods is a smart thing to do—no matter how old you are! Here are some tips to get you started: Eat many different colors and types of vegetables and fruits. Make sure at least half of your grains are whole grains. Eat only small amounts of solid fats and foods with added sugars. Limit saturated fat (found mostly in foods that come from animals) and trans fats (found in foods like store-bought baked goods and some margarines). Eat "good" (poly- and monounsaturated) fats, like those found in seeds, nuts, avocados, and fatty fish like salmon. Any fats added in cooking should come from olive, canola, corn, or vegetable oil. Eat seafood twice a week. Small fish, like sardines or trout, or farm-raised fish (check the label) contain less mercury than large fish, like tuna. Mercury can be harmful.
