Eat well to
age well.
The good news is that in Canada, we're living
longer than ever before!
Long after retirement, people over 65 continue
to play an active role in their communities and
lead rich, vibrant and satisfying lives surrounded
by friends and family.
Healthy eating is much more than the food
you eat. It's about how you eat, where and
when you eat, and why you eat.
The amount of nutrients our bodies need at
age 30 is not necessarily the same as what
they will need at age 50 or 70. The body
undergoes changes with age that affect its
nutritional needs. Here are a few examples of
nutrients that you should pay special
attention to:
Proteins vitamin B12
Fibers vitamin D
calcium antioxidant
