We are very proud of you! Congratulations Jaclyn! Love Mom and Dad, Dave, Michelle, Brad & Steve So, your concern is healthy aging (NC)—In 2001, one in eight Canadians were 65 years -of -age or older. By 2026, one in five Canadians will have reached age 65. And by the year 2041, 9.2 mil- lion, or one in four of us will have hit that golden age. Healthy aging is the key to optimizing the years we have without disease or other chronic condi- tions that may keep us from enjoying life to the fullest. Eating a variety of nutritious foods for a low fat, high fiber diet, rich in vita- mins, minerals and antioxidants, is one good strategy for lowering our risk of disease and disease -related disabilities. Also, it keeps our brains and bodies in tip-top shape as the years pass by. Remember that healthy aging also requires daily physical activity along with activi- ties that exercise the brain. In general, energy/calo- rie needs do get lower with aging because we have less muscle, more body fat and many of us tend to be less active. Keep in mind that we still need about the same amount of other impor- tant nutrients, including carbohydrate, protein, fat, vitamins and minerals, to stay healthy, and don't forget the fluids. Here's how mushrooms can be a tasty part of your anti -aging diet strategy. Fresh Mushrooms Can Help! Adding Antioxidants • Fresh mushrooms contain signifi- cant levels of 1 -ergothioneine, a natu- rally occurring antioxidant that may also help protect the body against dis- ease. Ergothioneine is found in both raw and cooked mushrooms. Fabulous Fibre • Fresh mushrooms contain both sol- uble and insoluble fibre. Insoluble fibre promotes regularity. Soluble fibre may help regulate blood sugar fluctuations and lower cholesterol levels. • Beta -glucans, a type of soluble fibre, found in Maitake mushrooms (hen -of - the -woods) destroyed human prostatic cancers cells in a laboratory setting. They have also been found to have potential anti-inflammatory activity, which may help protect the body against disease. Marvelous Minerals • Fresh mushrooms are naturally very low in sodium and are a great way to boost flavor without adding a lot of salt in pastas, salads, stir -fries and more. A diet low in sodium can help prevent and control high blood pressure. • A 1/2 cup serving of uncooked white button mushrooms is an excellent source of selenium. Researchers in the Netherlands found that men who ate the most selenium had a 31% lower risk of developing prostate cancer. Winning with Weight • Fresh mushrooms are perfect for low fat diets as they have high water content, are low in fat and contain some fibre which helps keep you feeling full. • Being at a healthy weight is an important factor in helping to prevent or delay many chronic diseases and disabilities. These include diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, certain cancers, gout and general wear and tear on joints. • Being at a healthy weight also makes it easier to be more active. Mushrooms Make a Difference • Use 1/2 cup sliced crimini mush- rooms instead of 4 oz. of sausage in pasta sauce or on pizza.
