Getting In Shape At 50
continued
Here's a sample diet:
Meal 1 - Spinach omelet
Meal 2 - Chicken salad with a vinegarette dressing
Meal 3 - Salmon with green vegetables
Meal 4 - Cottage cheese with mixed berries
You may have a cup of coffee (preferably organic, Swiss-process decaf) in the morning, but favor green tea in the afternoon and chomomile tea at night. Feel free to snack on raw nuts (in moderation, of course.)
As far as supplementation is concerned, the only one that I deem absolutely necessary is fish oil. Other than that a high-quality protein powder, probiotic (or friendly bacteria), and fiber supplement are worthy of consideration particularly following your workout (this would be your fifth meal if you follow the sample diet outlined above.) Even a multi vitamin/mineral is unnecessary if you are eating fresh, wholesome (again preferably organic) foods everyday.
Don't let mother nature take a toll on you without a fight. Collect your health with your pension and take action! Getting in shape does not have to be complicated. By following this simple plan, you should be able to reap the benefits of improved health at any age.
