Eat Well, Age Well: A Senior Nutrition Guide to Energy, Strength, and Lifelong Vitality (Healthy Aging Series) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

You need fewer calories as you age — but more nutrition. That paradox is at the heart of why eating well after 60 requires a different approach than it did at 40.

Eat Well, Age Well is a practical, evidence-based nutrition guide written specifically for adults 60 and older. It cuts through the noise of competing diet trends and supplement marketing to deliver what actually matters: clear, actionable guidance on what your aging body needs now — and how to give it that, in meals you actually want to eat.

Inside this book you will find:

• Why aging changes digestion, appetite, and nutrient absorption — and what to do about it
• The truth about protein: why seniors need significantly more than the standard recommendation, and the best sources to hit that target at every meal
• How to eat for brain health, bone strength, and heart protection after 60
• The vitamins and minerals most seniors are deficient in — and the ones worth supplementing vs. the ones you can skip
• A complete guide to hydration: why thirst can no longer be trusted after 60, and how to stay ahead of dehydration
• Practical strategies for managing appetite loss and unintentional weight loss — two of the most overlooked senior health concerns
• How to eat well with diabetes, prediabetes, heart disease, and osteoporosis
• An honest, research-based look at supplements — what the evidence actually supports
• A full week of simple, realistic meal ideas built around senior nutritional priorities

This is not a diet book. There are no calorie counts, no forbidden foods, no 30-day challenges. What you will find is a clear understanding of what your body needs at this stage of life — and a realistic, sustainable path to giving it exactly that.

Whether you cook for yourself, share meals with a partner, or depend on others for food preparation, this book gives you the knowledge to make better choices — one meal at a time.

Eat Well, Age Well is Book 2 in the Healthy Aging Series, companion to Stay Active, Stay Strong: A Safe Exercise Guide for Seniors.
