Eating well for different life stages
Eating a varied and balanced diet that incorporates a plentiful range of nutrient and micronutrient rich foods is recommended for everyone, regardless of age. The same can be said for maintaining healthy, regular physical activity and mindset.
As we grow older however, is it important to factor in the metabolic and physiological changes that are happening within our bodies and to adapt our approach to eating and exercise accordingly. Factoring in these changes early, as we move through each decade of our life, can help lead to a longer, healthier existence, and have a better quality of life. We aim to help make you feel fantastic at forty and thrive at fifty and beyond.
