need a little help with dieting

[benwahsmojo]

I'm new to the form and i could use a little assistance. been in kungfu (shaolin & sanshu) for a while and my cardio has been excellent, except for the fact i'm aging!! I'm 42 and i feel as though i need to improve my diet. i haven't been counting calories and all of that, but i now need help with this. I am currently 5'8", 165-170lbs (on the thin side). I'm not looking to put on 20lbs! I'd like to get around 10ish. I have some suppliments (friends tell me this and that is for this and that!) that i'm don't completely understand the cycles, etc.. I've never delt with this before and I need to learn a little more about dieting.
Could someone help me or guide me with this?
Am I in the right place for this kind of question??
Appreciate the help.

It is advisable to consult a doctor before using any diet supplements. You are already maintaining a healthy lifestyle naturally. Yoga & meditation will help tone your mind and body. Eat fresh fruits, nuts and vegetables. Following a healthy diet with essential nutrients and exercise regimen will naturally help you gain the extra pounds. Have a positive thought that you’ll gain the extra pounds and live a healthy life. Never fall under any gimmicks for diet pills.
