Cut sugar, sauce and highly processed food.

I know they have a fatal attraction, quite literally. But if you manage to get rid of all that junk, you can pretty much eat what you want from the selection of real foods like whole wheat bread, fruits and vegetables, eggs, meats. Mix and match a reasonable balance between those, and you strike a good balance.

But to start with: sugar is your enemy.



I would say that's more cultural that you state.

I absolutely have no attraction for processed food or sauce (well, except for olive oil, which can be considered a sauce I guess).

Sugar, well, I do enjoy some home made cakes, but little more.

My father is the same, I'm quite sure he never ate an hamburger in his life. He does love the sweets though.

Anecdotally, he is 73 and has absolutely no health issues, doesn't take any medicine at all.

Also, we do eat a lot of fish and meat here. Every single meal has either one of those as the main food.
