Foods for a Long, Healthy Life




 
 

7.Dairy
Beverages fortified with vitamin D, like milk, help your body take in and use calcium. That’s especially important if you’re likely to have osteoporosis, or thinning bones. Eat yogurt with live cultures to help with digestion.

 

8.Whole Grains
Adding these to your diet may lower your chances of certain types of cancer, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease. The fiber also may help prevent digestive problems like constipation and diverticular disease. Choose whole-grain breads and pastas, and brown or wild rice instead of white. Drop barley into soups, or add plain oatmeal to meatloaf.
