So don't eat meat.
Better for absolutely everyone and everything all round.
People our age should avoid red meat (one really nice steak a week is fine) and eat more white meat and leafy green vegetables.
That is what I did for Mum and the doctor was really surprised Mum was doing so well years after the dementia was diagnosed—I was there and saw the look on his face. Hehehe one easy leafy green veg is salads. Now, Mum LOVED salads but got bored when I served salad too often.
Or be a complete vegetarian, not something for me I will say, but eat dairy and eggs, maybe fish.
I’m not a complete vegetarian as I’ve grown up on a farm since young with chooks, and little piglets and a cow! So from young I remember as young as 2 n half eating soft boiled egg mum spoon fed me and chewing on bacon rind …
Milk and cheese had been part of my staple diet forever.
But last 30 years I’ve drastically reduced consumption of cheese and red meat.
And I feel better for it.
Now it’s sugar and carbs I’m concentrating on avoiding!
I’m enjoying being creative with vegetable recipes.
My daughter announced she decided age 9 she’s a vegetarian!
And has stuck to it. She’s 40 with no health issues, not one grey hair and her BP is excellent!
At age 40 I was salt and pepper grey! And with BP is issues.
