Story at-a-glance Women who ate more whole fruits, vegetables, legumes and whole grains in their 40s and 50s had up to 31% better odds of aging without disease or decline Diets high in white bread, sugary snacks and processed carbs were linked to significantly worse mental, physical and metabolic health in older age Eating carbs with little fiber, typical of most processed foods, was tied to a 29% drop in the chance of healthy aging across all categories Consistent intake of high-quality carbs over many years had a stronger effect on aging than temporary diet changes made later in life If your gut is compromised, even healthy carbs cause problems, so start with simple carbs like fruit and white rice, then reintroduce fiber slowly once your gut heals
