To have stable health in middle age, you need to change your eating habits and mindset from the age of 30, according toHealth.com.
Eat lots of bananas
Blood pressure tends to rise as we age. To combat this and reduce your risk of stroke and heart attack, eat less sodium and more potassium. And to get more potassium, eat more fruits and vegetables. Bananas are particularly rich in potassium. Broccoli and potatoes are also good sources.
Eat a little spicy
Flavor and zing can be enhanced by adding chilli or curry to dishes where appropriate. Chilli and curry may have some health benefits, especially for people in their 'thirties'.
Research shows that capsaicin in green peppers helps fight prostate cancer. Green peppers are also rich in antioxidants, which fight free radicals, provide natural immunity to cancer, and slow down the aging process. Green peppers also help regulate blood sugar and aid digestion.
Drink more water
Dehydration is one of the main causes of health problems in middle-aged people. Therefore, you should remind yourself to drink water before you are thirsty; limit tea, coffee and alcohol because these all dehydrate the body.

Calcium is essential for bone health, a factor that is of great concern to people over 30 years old. You can supplement calcium from dairy products. However, some people are lactose intolerant and cannot drink milk. They can use other vegetables or foods rich in calcium instead, such as kale, seafood, white beans, spinach, etc.
Meanwhile, each person's body needs vitamin D to synthesize calcium from food. In the morning, you should also diligently walk in the early sunlight to absorb more vitamin D.
Eat more fiber
Fiber has been shown to reduce blood sugar, reduce cholesterol, prevent constipation, and aid digestion. Fiber is found in vegetables and fruits, such as corn, beans, broccoli, pears, brown rice, oatmeal, etc.
Besides eating healthy, you also need to pay attention to regular and appropriate physical exercise to maintain a stable weight as well as sustainable health.
