Aging: everyone does it, yet some people seem relatively unaffected by getting older. Could good nutrition be the key to a healthier, longer life? Experts say the most beneficial diets rely heavily on fresh vegetables, fruits, and legumes -- foods that are naturally lower in calories and packed with nutrients. There’s no denying that you must optimize a myriad of beneficial nutrients, including protein, calcium, and vitamin D, and minimize detrimental dietary components including saturated and trans fats. While none of these foods is the "Fountain of Youth," including them on a regular basis as part of a balanced diet can reduce the toll time takes on your body.
If you’ve heard your doctor say you have a “Carotid Artery Blockage”, here’s a health talk you don’t want to miss. St. John’s will feature a special session on the subject next Tuesday, April 10th at 5:30 pm at our Health Connection location inside Northpark Mall. The talk will be presented by Kristen Robertson.
