I eat what’s on sale at grocery store. Rarely buy salmon because it is expensive compared to other sources of protein. For example Sardines, chicken, pork. Only when I visit local Longhorn Steakhouse, I order salmon because they know how to cook it perfectly and make it tasty.
I think eating variety of vegetables is important. Fruits are okay but have too many calories.
Visited my HMO doctors office on last Monday. It is a large practice with several doctors. I was assigned to a new doctor for this visit. She told me none of her senior patients are in better health than me, and wanted to know my diet habits. I told her same thing as above, I eat whatever is on sale. But reason I am in good health at age 85 is I never miss daily aerobic exercise for 25 minutes. I discovered exercise at age 57 after taking early retirement due to various health issues. Almost 30 years in retirement, I have no medical bills which should make Medicare very happy. Still mowing my suburban sized lawn with push mowers.
“But reason I am in good health at age 85 is I never miss daily aerobic exercise for 25 minutes.”
Yes, that’s very important. I’m. 88 and in very good health, My MD expects me to live to 100. Was doing a 14-minute mile on he treadmill 5 days a week before the idiot governor closed the gyms for “covid”. Then I fell and broke a knee, couldn’t do that, getting back into the exercise routine is taking a lot of time.
And I do eat salmon three times a week. Alaskan salmon only, the waters are clean there. All Atlantic salmon is farmed, has all kinds of problems. Checkers at Trader Joe and Safeway are smart about that too. I do eat chicken , but not pork, because pigs have higher IQs than dogs and I’m not eating a cocker spaniel either.
