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. Benefit: save
158 calories, 9 g fat, 4 g of saturated
fat, 642 mg sodium
• Add 1 cup sliced white button mush-
rooms to egg dishes instead of 1/2 cup
shredded cheddar. Benefit: save 213
calories, 18 g fat, 12 g saturated fat,
353 mg sodium
• Layer 1/2 cup sliced grilled porta-
bella mushrooms onto sandwiches
instead of 3 oz. salami. Benefit: save
336 calories, 30 g fat, 11 g saturated
fat, 1582 mg sodium
