A member asked:

What is the perfect diet for a 48 year old man, non smokers/drinker?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Prudent: Avoid the very greasy, very sugary, and very salty stuff. Enough protein, more if you are trying to gain muscle. Sufficient to maintain a lean, well-muscled body. And eaten in conjunction with regular vigorous aerobic exercise.
