To stay trim and healthy, you need specific nutrients as you hit your 40s. You're becoming quite concern about your heath and fitness level; good for you! As your metabolic rate drops, it becomes even more vital to watch your calorie intake to maintain your ideal weight. Be prepared for menopause by keep you mind, body and soul in top form. You can do it!


Include specific nutrients your body need at 40s:
  • Monounsaturated Fats
    These fats reduce cholesterol levels, protect the heart, decrease your risk of breast cancer, and help you maintain a healthy weight; consider them your best friends! Avocados,  almonds and cooking oils made from plants or seeds such as canola, olive and sesame are good sources of monounsaturated fats. Use.. a teaspoon of olive oil to pan fry a steak or saute vegetables.
  • Potassium
    Hypertension (increased blood pressure) is common in men and women in their 40s. Keep your blood pressure in check by adding bitter gourd, papaya and banana to your grocery, list these high-potassium foods help lessen the effects of sodium. Eat.. five unsalted slices of bitter gourd as part of your lunch or snack on a banana!
  • Fibre
    Want your digestive tract to operate more smoothly? Eat more oats, raisins and beans; these awesome fibre heroes are key for normal bowel function, and also make you feel fuller for longer. Eat.. two small bowls of oats mixed with hot water, honey and chopped fruits, daily.

Exclude from your daily eating habits at 40s:
  • High-cholesterol foods
    Beware of prawns, calamari, crabs and lobsters; prepared the wrong way, they can spike your cholesterol level! Broil instead of frying them, and avoid butter-cream-based sauces.
