Overview
The nutritional needs of people living beyond their late 60s is quite different to those of younger adults. This is acknowledged in the scientific research, but until now not widely known by everyday people. This book seeks to address that - it's firmly based in that science but written in everyday language, providing practical, sensible advice on what to eat and do enjoy a productive, independent life as the years advance. It covers the basic challenges advancing age imposes on the body and how eating needs are affected and change with time. It discusses subjects including bodyweight, diabetes, appetite and the maintenance of physical and cognitive function and provides simple eating advice for all older people - whether fit and well or dealing with physical or cognitive decline.
