According to the British Nutrition Foundation, 50-plus people tend to have slower metabolisms than in their 20s and may require fewer calories overall to stay in good shape. They also benefit from foods that are rich in certain nutrients which support older people’s health.

That’s not to say that these foods come with an age limit. Whether you’re 4 or 94, these picks provide premium fuel to energize your body.
