If you have spent much of your life over-indulging in refined starches and sugars such as white bread, pasta, pizza, and sweets, middle age can be a time of reckoning. A high-carb diet will keep your insulin levels elevated and promote weight gain. High insulin levels also appear to throw off the hormonal equilibrium your body tries to maintain.
Even if you’ve had a history of poor-eating habits, it’s not too late to adopt a healthier diet. Sit down and enjoy the flavors of your food with meals featuring fish, chicken and vegetables. For extra calcium and magnesium, substitute sparkling mineral water for soft drinks. Even drinking tea boosts bone density.
