"If you want your mother to be pain-free and full of energy after 50, you need to make sure she eats these five foods every single day. The best part? You don't have to serve them separately, just blend them into one smoothie and give it to her first thing in the morning, even before her coffee," says Navneeth in his post. He also listed the ingredients and explained their health benefits.

Provides clean, natural energy without the dreaded sugar crash. It's packed with potassium, which aids muscle recovery, keeps the body hydrated, and helps prevent those annoying leg cramps.
These natural multivitamins are loaded with iron, magnesium, and fibre. Just two dates can curb sugar cravings later in the day, keeping her energy steady.
Rich in protein to help rebuild muscles after a night's rest. It's also full of prebiotics that improve digestion, reduce bloating, and support a strong immune system.
Just a pinch goes a long way, it reduces inflammation in joints and muscles and helps regulate blood sugar, which is key for stable energy and mood throughout the day.
Adds a powerful punch of complete protein to preserve lean muscle, fight fatigue, and speed up recovery. It's a fast and effective way to fuel her day.
Simply blend all these ingredients together into a delicious smoothie and serve it fresh.
Adding her expert opinion, Dr. Sudha Asthana, Senior Consultant – Obstetrics and Gynaecology, shares with HT Lifestyle, "This smoothie is well-balanced and particularly beneficial for postmenopausal women. After 50, hormonal changes lead to decreased bone density, slower metabolism, and muscle loss. The combination of calcium-rich yoghurt, potassium from bananas, and high-quality protein can counteract these effects. Cinnamon's anti-inflammatory properties are also helpful in managing age-related joint stiffness. What I appreciate most is that this drink is simple to make and covers several nutritional bases that older women often miss in their diets."
