Eat Your Way to a Flatter Stomach After 50

-



As you age, you slowly lose both muscle mass and bone mass. It's important to have more muscle mass than fat mass in your body, as it can burn more calories at rest than and when active.

Eat more high-quality proteins.

Consuming lean sources of protein will help you preserve our metabolically active muscle mass, thus helping us maintain a flatter stomach.

High-quality protein choices are seafood like salmon, tuna, or chicken breast, eggs, and plant-based sources of protein are beans, lentils, nuts, and seeds.

Eat high-fiber cereal


Women and men over 50 should aim to get 21 grams and 30 grams of fiber per day.

High-fiber cereal makes a major deposit in your fiber bank while also adding a variety of other vitamins and minerals. You can pair your cereal with a plant milk and yoghurt. Be sure drink water with it to help make it become more of a 'moving' experience.

Consume more seafood


Fish is a high-quality source of protein and a complete source of protein.

Salmon is lean high-quality protein that also key nutrients like vitamin D and anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids. Vitamin D is found in only a few foods, but supports bone health. When it comes to omega-3 fatty acids, research has found they can help reduce the risk of developing certainmedical conditions including obesity, as well as support heart and brain health. 

Snack on almonds


Almonds provide more fiber than any other nut to help move things along in your system while also being the nut highest in calcium, a nutrient all of us need, especially after 50.

Munching on almonds can also benefit your overall gut health. 

Make your plate mostly fruits and veggies


They are generally low in calories, so you can eat your fill without as many caloric concerns. In turn, this can help support a flat stomach.

DECADENT PECAN NUT PIE

PECAN PIE Ingredients Pre-made Short-crust pastry 4 Tbls butter 3 large Eggs, Slightly Beaten 1 Cup maple syrup 1/2 Cup granulated Sugar (dark brown for baking) 2 Tablespoons Flour 1/2 Teaspoon Salt 1 Teaspoon Vanilla 160g Broken pecans Preheat oven to 200 deg C Bake the crust first at 200 deg C for 10 mins. To stop the crust from fluffing up and rising, line with some foil and weight it down or you can just pop holes in it with a fork. Remember to turn oven down again to 135 deg C or if you're not experienced with pie shells don't bother with this step. Melt butter and mix remaining ingredients - blend really well (use electric beater if you have). Fold in pecans and pour into shell. Slow bake it at the low temp of 135 deg C to ensure even baking for 60 mins. Serve after fully cooled. I like to refridgerate it a bit after it has cooled.
