“Would you say
being healthy as
we age is only
because of our
genetics? Or
is this just heaven-sent? How does
nutrition add to this equation?”

Ros

Dear Ros,

Being healthy is not only a
product of our genetics. There
are many components and
characteristics, including one’s
environment and daily action
steps, that can contribute to our
longevity. Family history may
be a risk factor.
Diet and health have become
a focus and many people set
personal goals for themselves.
Some of these action steps
include getting adequate nutrients,
tracking foods that enhance
wellness, adopting behaviors
that may delay familiar family
diseases, addressing chronic
diseases, and understanding the
results of overconsumption of
too much sugar, carbohydrates
and saturated fats.
Eating too many high-
cholesterol meals and too much
sodium should also be addressed.
It is also worth trying a variety of
foods instead of consuming the
same foods daily.
But if we do not meet our
nutrient goals and we eat an
unbalanced diet, we will not

supplementing vitamins and
minerals. Hope this helps!
