Nutrition for living life

Maintain a healthy weight because research shows that if you are overweight, and lose weight, your life expectancy increases. It also shows that by improving your diet and exercise habits to lose weight, your health will also improve. Regular exercise, combined with a well balanced nutritous diet, is the key to managing many of the diseases discussed here.



Ageing and diet, our bodies and our dietary needs change. Ongoing research looking at the impact of calorie restriction on health and longevity indicates that adults can improve their health by eating less. If you are overweight, the reasons for losing weight are clear, but even if you are a "healthy" weight, it may be possible to live longer and live better by eating less. This does not mean starvation, it means making smart choices and eating foods that give maximum nutritional benefit. Think about it and what it means to you and your loved ones.
