Get two active adults together, and sooner or later, the conversation will involve some facet of the digestive process.
The digestion and absorption of our dietary intake is controlled by a sensitive ecosystem of trillions of microorganisms in our stomachs. Or you can just call them our guts. The importance of gut health cannot be overstated. Acting as the command center for the body, this complex mix of bacteria actively influences our well-being.
A healthy mix of bacteria keeps harmful inflammation at bay and bolsters our immune system. But as we age , our gut microbiome has a tendency to change, creating an imbalance that can cause annoying changes in bowel habits and is also linked to a wide variety of chronic and autoimmune disorders.
Are You Pro Probiotics?
Probiotic supplements contain healthy bacteria believed to support digestive health. If you’re considering taking these supplements, consult a health professional who can assist you in deciding whether or not this is the right course of action. If so, they can help you wade through the tons of choices out there.
How Do We Improve Gut Health Naturally?
Maybe your, um…gut tells you that you’re not comfortable taking supplements. Here are some easy guidelines for how to improve gut health naturally.
Fermented Foods
Fermented foods are a natural source of probiotics – or good bacteria – and can support a healthy gut population. Examples of fermented foods include:
Fermented vegetables
Kefir
Kimchi
Kombucha
Miso
Sauerkraut
Tempeh
Prebiotics
Prebiotics – not to be confused with probiotics – are found in certain foods. Eating them initiates a digestive process that encourages beneficial gut bacteria to multiply.
A few prebiotic-rich foods are:
Asparagus
Bananas
Chicory
Garlic
Jerusalem artichoke
Onions
Whole grains
Just Say No to Sugar and Artificial Sweeteners
Steering clear of sugar and artificial sweeteners is one of the best actions you can take to prevent digestive issues. Both are believed to cause a condition called gut dysbiosis, which is a critical imbalance of gut microorganisms. Studies suggest that the overabundance of sugar and fat in our diet adversely affects gut bacteria, which can negatively impact brain function . Based on research, the artificial sweetener aspartame is believed to increase harmful bacteria that are associated with metabolic disease.
Manage Stress
Stress can negatively impact our health on many levels, including what’s happening in our gut. Research suggests that psychological or environmental stress can disrupt the makeup of our intestinal tract. The same goes for sleep deprivation. Relaxation exercises like meditation and yoga will result in less stress and better sleep.
Antibiotics Are the Good News and the Bad News
While antibiotics save lives and are often necessary to cure bacterial infections, overuse can lead to harmful changes in the gut and immune system. To promote gut health, avoid taking antibiotics unless necessary.
Keep It Moving
Exercise is a critical piece of a healthy, active adult lifestyle for several reasons, including heart health, strength, agility, and weight control. But studies indicate it may also be a factor in maintaining diverse and well-balanced gut flora.
Don’t Smoke
It’s no surprise that smoking is hazardous to our health. But did you know that it’s also been shown to alter our gut bacteria by decreasing our levels of beneficial strains and causing an increase in the growth of harmful varieties? If you needed yet another reason not to smoke, here it is.
Go Vegetarian
There is evidence that a vegetarian diet may improve gut health. Studies suggest the high levels of prebiotic fiber in the vegetarian choices promote the growth of healthy bacteria, decreasing harmful gut inflammation. A strictly vegetarian regime may not appeal to your taste buds, but altering your diet even slightly to include more vegetarian choices can have a positive impact. Watch one of Overture’s creative cooking class videos and discover new and delicious ways to maintain good health.
The equation is simple: A healthy, diverse gut population equals enhanced overall health and immune function. Talk to your doctor to create a plan that will keep you – and your microorganism population – flourishing.
While there’s an overwhelming misconception that older generations don’t know how to use technology, studies show that over 67% of people age 65 and over use the internet regularly. Whether for social media or streaming entertainment, it’s become an everyday occurrence that has just as much of an effect on the lives of older adults as it does for younger generations.
It’s important to note, however, that older adults grew up without the internet, and therefore, may be unaware of some of its inherent risks. Here are some of the most important things to keep in mind when spending time online.
Create Unique and Secure Passwords
It’s tempting to make your password something simple, such as your name or birthday, but those are also the easiest passwords for potential hackers to guess. A strong password should never include personal information or common phrases. It’s always best for your password to include a combination of lower and uppercase letters, numbers, and symbols. This way, your password is even more difficult for hackers to obtain.
One of the most common mistakes people make is using the same password for all of their accounts. While this makes it easier to remember passwords, it also makes all of your accounts vulnerable. By having a unique password for each of your accounts, even if someone is able to gain access to one, they will still be locked out of the others.
Install Anti-Malware Software
Sometimes, it can be easy to accidentally download a file that seems normal, but actually contains a virus or other impairment, known as malware. Anti-malware software scans every item on your computer to ensure that your device stays secure. This way, you can download virtually whatever you want without risking your peace of mind.
Avoid Unknown Attachments
When first going digital , it can be difficult to realize that not everything on the internet is well-intentioned. Even with anti-malware software installed, it’s always best to avoid downloading unknown files or email attachments. If you don’t know what they are or where they came from, don’t install them or open them. This extends to any form of documents, images, or software.
Often, scammers will create a seemingly helpful or interesting piece of content, only to secretly implant it with malware. Unsuspecting internet-users then find these attachments, download them, and are left with a device compromised by malware. If you are going to download an attachment, make sure it is from a trusted or verified source before adding it to your device.
Identify Scams
Outside of using ill-intentioned attachments to get your information, scammers may also reach out to you directly disguised as someone or something else. If you see something online that seems too good to be true, such as a free vacation or medicine, it usually is.
One of the most popular forms of scams is called phishing. It involves a scammer building a fake site designed to look like a trusted source and trick you into giving them your payment information. Be especially cautious of any site with multiple grammatical errors or a URL that is different than what you’ve seen in the past. A big red flag to look out for is sites that ask you to enter your financial information.
Scammers may even pose as friends or family in an attempt to gain access to your accounts or finances. For this reason, you should never send payment information or funds to an email address you don’t recognize, even if the sender claims to know you. Double-check with your friend or family member via a trusted line of communication before responding.
Visit Secure Websites
Fortunately, it’s quick and easy to find out if a web page is secure. Simply look at the website URL at the top of the page. If it begins with the letters “https”, you can rest assured knowing it is secure, as the “s” stands for secure. Alternatively, if the URL simply reads “http”, you’ll know the webpage is not secure. No personal or financial information should ever be entered on a webpage that is not secure, or you might run the risk of becoming a victim of identity theft .
Knowing how to surf the web safely can make your time more enjoyable and stress-free, which is what we at Overture are all about. Contact us today to learn more about our active lifestyle.
We are what we eat. It’s as simple – and as complex – as that. A healthy diet is important at every stage of life, but exceptionally so as we advance in years. The good news is with a little common sense and creative cooking, we can support brain health , lower our cholesterol , and help maintain healthy blood sugar levels.
The older we get, the more our blood sugar can become problematic, warns the National Council for Aging, putting us at higher risk for elevated levels and potentially, Type 2 Diabetes.
Formerly known as non-insulin dependent or adult-onset, Type 2 Diabetes results from the body’s inability to efficiently use its insulin to keep blood sugar in check. A glucose conscious diet that limits certain carbs can go a long way toward keeping those levels stable and within safe parameters.
A smart eating plan considers your overall carbohydrate intake throughout the day. Check out this list of foods that lower blood sugar, while keeping your taste buds happy. Even small changes in your diet can make a big difference!
Vegetables Are Vital
Raw, cooked, or roasted, vegetables are just what the endocrinologist ordered. The American Diabetes Association recommends a minimum of 3-5 servings of non-starchy vegetables a day. They define a serving as half a cup of cooked and one cup of uncooked veggies. Low-carb choices like mushrooms, onions, eggplant, tomatoes, Brussel sprouts, zucchini, carrots, and baby corn add taste and texture to any meal. If you’re buying pre-packaged vegetables, pay attention to the preservatives to avoid unwanted extra added salt, sugar, fats, and oils.
What About Bread?
When it comes to breads, pumpernickel and 100% stone-ground whole wheat are the big winners. Less processed than other types of bread that can negatively impact blood sugar, pumpernickel and stone-ground whole wheat score lower on the glycemic index, making them a healthier choice.
Go Green
If you’re looking for a favorite color of food that will help lower blood sugar, put your money on green. Leafy greens come in a wide variety. Go with the tried and true romaine, or try arugula, kale, spinach, and chard for a change of pace. Add low-carb roasted veggies and your favorite protein, and you’ve got yourself a tasty and healthy feast. You can even throw some kale in the oven, add a little olive oil, and soon you’ll have delicious crunchy chips for snacking.
Berries are Berry Good for You
Studies have shown that people who consume whole fruits, specifically blueberries, grapes, and apples, had a significantly lower risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes. Packed with nutrients and fiber, one cup of berries has a total of only 15 carbs. Add them to your salad or save them for a late afternoon snack.
What are Legumes?
A legume, by definition, is a seed, pod, or other edible parts of a leguminous plant. You know them as foods like beans, peas, chickpeas, and lentils. When asking the question of how to reduce blood sugar levels, the answer should include these nutrient-rich plants. Legumes are complex carbohydrates that provide fiber as well as protein. Beware of canned legume products that have extra unwanted ingredients.
Sweet Potatoes are Sweet
Regular potatoes are out. But sweet potatoes and yams are in. Some research suggests the flesh of the sweet potato contains more fiber than the skin making the whole vegetable of benefit. Sweet potato fries are as yummy as regular fries. Your taste buds will be delighted.
Cold-Water Fish
Fish and meats do not contain carbohydrates, so they don’t contribute to blood sugar issues. However, according to studies, cold-water fish is a protein standout for actually helping to manage blood sugar levels.
A smart, carb-conscious diet is a massive step toward minimizing the risk of unhealthy blood sugar levels. Incorporate it into an active adult Overture lifestyle that includes plenty of regular exercise, unlimited opportunities for socializing, and chef taught gourmet cooking classes . Talk about a recipe for success!
