8. Fiber
Fiber can do a lot of good to your body, especially as you age. Fiber helps prevent strokes, promotes regular bowel movements, and lowers cholesterol and blood sugar levels – all of which are important in older bodies. Women over the age of 50 should get at least 21 grams of fiber per day, while men should get 30 grams, but most people don't get that much.
