After 50, several changes occur in your body that can affect your health, such as:
• Decreased stomach acid production
• Reduced gut microbiome diversity
• Anabolic resistance
• Increased inflammation

Wild salmon and sardines are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, including EPA and DHA, which help reduce inflammation and support brain health and cognitive function. These benefits become especially important as you age.

Sauerkraut and kefir help support gut microbiome health and diversity as you age. Fermented foods can also help reduce inflammatory markers. Look for fermented foods in the refrigerated section to get the most benefits.

Bone broth is a good source of collagen, which is critical for healthy aging. Collagen supports connective tissues, skin health, cardiovascular health, and more.

The best potassium-rich foods aren’t necessarily bananas, potatoes, plantains, beans, or sweet potatoes. These starchy foods contain carbohydrates that can raise insulin, while beans can also cause bloating and gut irritation in some people.

If you want to boost your potassium intake without consuming a lot of carbs, avocados are an excellent choice.

Other low-carb, potassium-rich foods include:
• Wild salmon
• Swiss chard
• Beet tops
• Spinach
• Portobello mushrooms
• Tomato paste
• Cream of tartar

Signs of low potassium include:
• Constipation
• Bloating and water retention
• Frequent urination and thirst
• Tingling and numbness
• High pulse rate
• Heart palpitations

Persistent fatigue and muscle weakness are among the most common signs of potassium deficiency. Chronic potassium deficiency can increase your risk of serious health conditions, including high blood pressure, stroke, bone loss, and kidney stones.

Potassium is often thought to be bad for the kidneys, but the concern is primarily related to impaired kidney function, particularly advanced kidney disease.

Most people associate creatine with muscle strength and bodybuilding, but it’s so much more than that. Creatine is a vital compound produced naturally by the body, but our ability to produce it can decline as we age.

Benefits of creatine include:
• Supports ATP regeneration for cellular energy
• Helps meet high energy demands
• Draws water into the muscles
• Supports healthy blood sugar regulation as a part of balanced diet and exercise routine
• Supports methylation
• Supports bone and muscle health

During the first week of taking creatine, you may start noticing cognitive benefits, including improved focus, concentration, and memory.

By the second week, you may experience increased muscle strength and faster recovery after exercise. After taking creatine for 30 days, you may feel stronger and more energized, and you may even have a greater urge to work out. Creatine can also help increase muscle stem cells, supporting muscle health as you age.

Animal proteins, including herring, pork, and red meat, are among the best food sources of creatine.

Gut microbiome recovery after a single course of antibiotics doesn’t happen as quickly as you might think. Unfortunately, some people may never fully recover their original gut microbiome.

People are often told that their gut bacteria will return to normal within 4 to 8 weeks, but this isn’t always the case. The bacteria that return may be different, and antibiotic resistance genes can persist in the gut microbiome.

A healthy gut microbiome is essential for overall health and well-being. From your immune system to your mood, gut health affects nearly every aspect of your health. Gut microbes also play a key role in serotonin production, which is why many people report mood changes after antibiotic use.

Probiotics can be helpful when taking antibiotics. Look for strains that can survive stomach acid, and take them simultaneously alongside antibiotics.

Sauerkraut is one of the best fermented foods for gut health.
