This recipe is perfect for the diet of women over 50, as the oatmeal provides valuable fiber to aid digestion. Apples help to keep blood pressure in balance, also provide fiber and a natural sweetness. Flaxseed contains lignan, which can mimic the effect of estrogen - this can help to compensate for the decline in estrogen production with age. Flaxseed also provides healthy omega-3 fatty acids which, together with pecans, can keep blood vessels intact. Milk and yogurt provide valuable calcium, which counteracts bone loss and is important because absorption in the intestines is reduced with age. The need for protein increases with age, and dairy products such as yogurt and milk can be used as a source to meet this need.
