The anti-ageing meal plan

What you need to eat to help you stay happy, healthy and energized for life

By Sarah Lambert, R,D,

We can't avoid getting older – and why should we? – but we can make sure our health is taken care of while we age. By consuming a balanced diet with a variety of healthy foods, you can not only help prevent excessive weight gain (which can help to prevent diabetes) but also a number of chronic diseases which increase in risk as we age. By following these top healthy living tips, you'll feel healthier now and stay healthy.

• eat lots of citrus fruits and berries and dark green, dark orange, yellow and red vegetables that contain protective phytochemicals
• maintain a healthy body weight
• eat less fat
• avoid high amounts of sodium, maintain calcium and vitamin D and an adequate amount of fibre
• stay active
• don't smoke!

Try to drink 6-8 glasses of water per day in addition to beverages listed.
