Dairy products give us calcium and protein. But some people find cow's milk indigestible. For them there are alternatives: lactaid milk, goat's milk, and soy or rice 'milk.' Cultured dairy products such as buttermilk, sour cream and yogurt are especially high in nutrients and more digestible than milk.
People over 50 need to maintain good nutrition by ensuring they get enough vitamin D and calcium. This is because, as people age, their bones become more brittle. Calcium will help reduce bone loss, and vitamin D helps the bones absorb the calcium. People aged 50 and over should boost their calcium intake either via non-fat dairy products or through supplements.
If you have only tried a certain fruit or vegetable once in your life, reconsider your approach to seasonal produce like pomegranates, sweet potatoes, grapes, and pears. When seasonal fruits and veggies are found in the store during their off-season, there's a good chance that they will not taste as juicy and delicious as they do when grown during their natural season.
