Once you hit a certain age it really is astonishing how impactful a simple dietary change can be.

Make a mental note of what you've been eating and your mood and physical state, or take it a step further and keep a food journal, and you'd quickly notice things like how reducing alcohol intake just a little bit improves your sleep, cutting out some sugar reduces headaches, eating cinnamon reduces general joint pain, etc.

I find myself craving salads and fresh vegetables almost as much as I crave sweets these days. And I love a good IPA, but goddamn do the hops give me some serious acid reflux at night. I've yet to eliminate anything completely from my diet, but some things like that have become a rare indulgence only.
