Explained in plain English

Why do our diets change?

As we get older, our bodies change in many ways, affecting what nutrients we need. For example, our metabolism slows down, and we might lose muscle mass, meaning we need more protein. Certain vitamins and minerals become even more crucial for bone health and to manage common age-related conditions, making specific food choices more impactful.
