Old age people can live long life

Aged people who adopt healthy dietings may alive longer, a analyse suggests.

Research in the Journal of the American dietetical Association found those who ate a low-fat diet that held back lots of fruit and vegetables lowered their risk of dying over ten years. The analyse compared the diets of 2,500 U.S. adults aged 70 to 79. Those who ate up a high fatty diet rich in ice cream, cheese, and whole milk, had the most in high spirits risk of death.


The study showed that 12 extra people in every hundred survived over the ten years, if they ate healthily. Participants were split into six different groups, according to how often they ate certain foods. The groups were: healthy foods; high-fat diary products; meat, fried foods and alcohol; breakfast cereal; refined grains and sweets and desserts.

Those who had a "healthy foods" diet ate more low-fat dairy products, fruit, whole grains, poultry, fish, and vegetables. People in this group had healthier lifestyles too; smoking less and being more active than other participants.

Invisible Dangers in Your Fridge

1- Vegetables and Fruits
Today here are some foods that do not have to be in perfect condition for you to enjoy them.

Produce is the best to tell if it is starting to rot, because it won’t feel good enough to eat  Soft, slimy, or stinky produce needs to go in the garbage.

However, greens that are wilted can still be used in soups and stews.  they have simply become a little dehydrated and started the aging process.

To avoid having to throw out expensive fruits and vegetables, grocery shop more often. Buying enough for 3-5 days at a time will help ensure you don’t lose money.

 2-Meat
If you wantto judge the condition of meat in your refrigerator is safe, is to check the expiration date. Even meat that looks, smells, and tastes fine could be dangerous.  Steaks and other red meats should not be consumed more than four days past the date on the package. Frozen meat lasts longer, but never thaw and re-freeze it. Use common sense. If meat  is slimy, smells funny, or has a strange color, it should definitely be thrown away.

 3- Milk
Milk is one of the more straightforward nutrients to tell if it is past its prime. If it odours sour, then toss it. Still not sure of the smell--  The consistency should give a hint any lumps or flakes means it needs to go.Cream,  cheese, and sour cream can be a little tricky, but generally stay safe for about 10 days past the date stumped on the label. Yogurt can still be fed a few days past the expiration date, but loses its flavor and nutritional value as it gets older, so it is probably worth throwing out. Cheese and butter last the longest, but it is best to finish them before they are four weeks old.
