Discover the latest breakthroughs in nutrition and health with Environmental Nutrition

Food really is the best medicine. More people die every year from unhealthy diets and poor eating habits than from cigarette smoking. Yet simple changes in the foods you eat can help prevent, relieve, and heal everything from heart disease and cancer to diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis, Alzheimer’s disease, and more.

But eating right isn’t as simple as just loading up on more fruits and vegetables—especially if you’re over 60.

Do you know the 3 foods everyone over 60 should eat?

Tuna. Chicken. And cottage cheese. Why? They’re high in lean protein. And that’s important because as we age we start to lose muscle mass, which can lead to sarcopenia. Sarcopenia is a condition that can cause a decline in muscle function, eventually robbing you of your independence in later years. Some experts believe adults age 60 and older should get about 25-30 grams of protein per meal to maintain and build muscle. This not only provides enough protein, but also ensures you’ll get enough leucine—an essential amino acid that’s critical for building muscle.

Want to sweep dangerous plaques from your arteries and lower blood pressure at the same time? Try pomegranate juice. Just 2 ounces a day of pomegranate juice can help lower high blood pressure, improve your cholesterol, and even decrease plaques in your arteries reducing your risk for heart disease and other cardiovascular diseases.

Did you know that as we age we lose some of our ability to taste and smell foods? To make foods taste better you may end up using more salt, which could lead to hypertension. A better option might be to try using monosodium glutamate. It’s not only safe but it could help your health by helping you instantly cut 25% of the salt in your diet while enjoying more flavorful food!

And there’s so much more. Every year hundreds of thousands of health and nutrition studies are conducted worldwide. The dedicated team of expert dietitians and nutritionists at Environmental Nutrition pore over these results, weed out the questionable science and bring you the facts that can make a difference in your health. For example, did you know:

• Honey has been shown to be as effective or even more effective than over-the-counter cough medicines
• Cherry juice can improve cognitive abilities—including memory in older adults. Just be sure to drink this variety
• Lack of sleep can trigger junk food cravings
• The type of chewing gum that can trigger painful bouts of IBS.
• Certain foods can cut your risk of developing age-related macular degeneration by 41%
• The supplement that’s so effective at easing joint pain it’s considered a drug in most of Europe. Studies show it can bring you pain relief and help improve joint function with fewer side effects

And this is just a fraction of the practical, fascinating and helpful information you’ll find in every issue of Environmental Nutrition. There is so much going on in the field of nutrition it would be next to impossible for you to keep up with all the breakthroughs—and avoid all the misinformation—that could have a huge impact on your health.

That’s why we created Environmental Nutrition. For over 40 years, we have remained the leading source for health and nutrition information. That’s because Environmental Nutrition editor, Kristen Smith, PhD, RDN together with top nutrition and dietitian experts and our esteemed nutritional advisory board, have made it their mission to expose the truth behind conflicting health claims. They’ll help you see through hyped-up marketing claims and pseudo-science to bring you the best ways to prevent disease, lose weight, and live a healthy, vibrant life.

And because Environmental Nutrition accepts no advertising—we’re beholden to no one. We don’t answer to food or supplement manufacturers so we’re free to name names and point fingers to ensure you get the best advice—and can find the best products—for your health. For example, it’s easy to assume that companies we associate with having healthy products always have the best options. But that’s not necessarily the case.

→ Are you considering taking turmeric? There’s a lot of buzz around this ancient spice often used in Indian cooking. Research shows it may help relieve arthritis and anxiety and its anti-inflammatory powers may help prevent metabolic syndrome.

But did you know in order to absorb the nutrients in turmeric you’ll need to take it with black pepper which increases its bioavailability by 2000%!

→ Curious about why you sometimes feel “hangry?” Your digestive system and your brain are interconnected. Scientists call it the gut-brain axis. It’s one of the reasons we get “gut feelings” or our stomach is “tied up in knots” when we’re stressed.

New research shows that gut microbiota (the 100 trillion bacteria and other microbes that live in your intestine) influences brain chemistry and can contribute to anxiety and depression.

Here’s the good news: the microbiota can use the byproducts of the fiber it ferments to trigger the production of serotonin—the natural mood stabilizing hormone.

→ More than 95% of all our serotonin is stored in our gut. The best foods to keep your gut “happy” and improve your mood: whole plant foods and probiotic-rich fermented foods.

Here’s another way to get a mood boost: Increase your intake of omega-3 fatty acids.

New research on CBD oil products shows a wide range of benefits. CBD may reduce anxiety, panic attacks and even ease PTSD and obsessive-compulsive disorder. The National Cancer Institute says cannabinoids (the naturally occurring chemical in CBD) may inhibit tumor growth while protecting normal cells. And, it could improve the effectiveness of chemotherapy.

One reason CBD may hold so much promise for your health—every cell in your body has CBD receptors. What’s more, our modern diet is actually lacking in cannabinoids so most people are deficient

→ Berries may help prevent memory loss. Blueberries, strawberries and other berries may prevent age-related changes in the brain such as memory loss and loss of motor control. Scientists believe the high levels of antioxidants in berries not only protect cells form harmful free radicals, they even change the way brain neurons communicate and prevent neuron-damaging inflammation.
