About the Event

As the global population ages, promoting healthy aging through proper nutrition has become increasingly important. This talk explores the unique nutritional needs of older adults and provides evidence-based strategies to support physical, cognitive, and emotional well-being in later life. Attendees will start by gaining an understanding of age-related changes that impact dietary intake and nutrient absorption. Then, we will discuss how these changes relate to key nutrition recommendations. We will also discuss chronic disease management with nutrition and offer practical, culturally relevant approaches to meal planning and hydration. Participants will leave equipped with actionable tools to help older adults maintain optimal health, prevent malnutrition, and enhance quality of life through informed nutritional practices.

Live Event This is a live online event. It will be conducted via Zoom Webinar.
