Nutrition for healthy ageing: fighting sarcopenia and inflammageing

Older age is a time when specific nutrient needs may be higher while the ability to meet those needs has more barriers. In this podcast, I’ll highlight how our nutrition needs change as we age, the factors that make it harder to meet these needs, and the role that nutrition can play in promoting healthy ageing and improving the outlook of age-related diseases. Links referred to in the podcastMeta-analysis of vitamin D supplementation on fracture and falls risk https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32846760Dietary Inflammatory Index and muscle function and mass in older Australians https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/13/4/1166MIND diet and cognitive impairment in an Australian cohort https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30826160Episode transcriptTo access the full episode transcript, go to the following link and select the individual podcast episode and then click on the ‘Transcript’ tab https://thinkingnutrition.buzzsprout.comConnect with meInstagram: doctimcroweFacebook: Thinking NutritionTwitter: CroweTim
