After age 60, four vegetables have more influence than you might imagine: two should be avoided, and two should be chosen carefully.

Beyond individual foods, research highlights broader dietary principles associated with healthier aging:

  • Eat a diverse range of vegetables, especially leafy greens and cruciferous varieties.
  • Maintain a balanced diet that includes legumes, fruits, whole grains, and quality protein sources.
  • Pay attention to how your body responds and adjust accordingly.
  • Limit ultra-processed foods high in salt, sugar, and unhealthy fats.
  • Stay adequately hydrated throughout the day.
