You’ve reached age 50? Here’s what you should eat to age healthily

The AHEI differs from other diets in that, alongside emphasizing the foods that are important to consume, it also highlights those that should be reduced – processed meat, salt, and sugary drinks. The broad common denominator among all the healthy diets studied reinforces the understanding that shared nutritional principles, rather than the diet name itself, are what contribute to healthy aging. It is possible to maintain these principles over time if applied flexibly and in a personalized manner.
