And regular workouts at the gym make it possible for him to continue. “There’s nothing like it, going down a mountain and feeling a breeze on your face,” says Ralph, a retired food distributor. “It’s just an amazing feeling of freedom.” He’s far from unique among people over 50 who want to continue enjoying sports and recreational activities of all kinds.

Food, like I’m sure it is for most people, is extremely important in my family. Being of Mexican descent, we find it’s a way to feel closer to our roots and express our heritage. Some of my favorite memories are watching my nana cook in the kitchen, making menudo during the holidays, or bringing home barbacoa on Sundays for the family to enjoy. But as I grew older and slowly moved away from home, cooking became a way to help deal with my homesickness. After graduating from college, I knew I wanted to jot down all my family recipes so…

It’s simply swishing oil (usually sesame or coconut oil) in your mouth, then spitting it out in the trash. There’s some research, and plenty of anecdotal evidence, that shows it can reduce plaque. Coconut oil is also naturally a mild antibacterial and can help keep oral bacteria…

That’s good advice, but there’s more to it than just those three things.  There’s another nutrient that deserves a seat at the table. Probably think of more for fighting colds and the flu than for helping with bones. It’s vitamin C.  There’s a growing body of human research that suggests vitamin C plays a much bigger role in bone health than most people realize. Dr. Tom Levy, in his book Death by Calcium, discusses how vitamin C also supports…
