Ageing: the role of nutrition

Can a plant-based diet prevent age-related disease and promote longevity? To answer this question, Doctors For Nutrition’s next Food Vitals webinar will explore the evidence that a plant-based diet can prevent age-related diseases and even reverse the ageing process. Despite the fact that Australians and New Zealanders are generally living longer lives, many are not increasing their ‘healthspan’, that is, the period of life spent in good health. The number of elderly Australians is expected to rise, reaching an estimated 8.8 million by the year 2057. Lifestyle factors, especially the standard Western diet, appear to play a major role in the development of age-related diseases and early death. Eating a whole food plant-based diet rich in fruits, vegetables, grains, and beans - while avoiding meat, dairy, and other animal products - can promote longevity and increase healthspan as we age.
