Dear Komal,
Can you please give me a good healthy diet for a 50-year-old? And an exercise routine.
Can you please give me in terms of dishes and not like calories and vitamins, etc?
If you can say what we must eat during the week, even that is ok.
For exercise, can you give proper specific exercises and how long one should do it for?
Thank you,
Amisha

Ans:

A healthy diet for a 50 year old will be based on your BMI (Body Mass Index). There are other factors like physical activity, medical conditions, sleep, water intake, gut health and others which have to be considered while planning a diet.

You must ensure that your diet has adequate protein for good metabolism, fibre-rich foods like vegetables, fruits, salads and multigrain cereals that are good for gut health and help lower metabolic disorders like high cholesterol, diabetes, fatty liver, etc.

A low-fat intake with a focus on consumption of healthy fats like Omega 3 is good for anti-inflammatory reactions.

Adequate water intake, adequate sleep at the right time and a positive mind will aid in achieving fitness.

Adopt a regular fitness regimen that includes strengthening and aerobic exercises for at least 30-40 minutes daily.

The details of these exercises need to be discussed at a personal level with a fitness professional based on various parameters like BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate).
