11 Superfoods for People Over 50

11. Avocado

Avocado is costly and has been blamed lately as the reason millennials aren’t able to afford homes (that’s not it). But they are also a very tasty source of nearly 20 vitamins and minerals, such as potassium, copper, and vitamins B, C, E, and K.

Eating avocado regularly ensures that you get enough heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and maintain an optimal blood pressure.
