1.Whole Grains
They’re a great source of fiber and rich in B-vitamins, which you’ll need more of as you age. B-6 and folate are key to keeping your brain healthy. Even a small shortage can make a subtle difference. Whole grains could also cut your chances of getting heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. Don’t stop at whole-wheat bread, though. Quinoa, wheat berries, and whole-wheat couscous are tasty options, too.
2.Nuts
Yes, they’re small, but tree nuts like almonds, walnuts, cashews, pecans, and pistachios have big anti-aging powers. These crunchy snacks contain special nutrients that can help delay or prevent age-related heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, nerve disease, and some types of cancer. Nuts also protect your brain as you age.
