The WHO promotes healthy ageing, maintaining health and wellbeing for a good quality of life later in life. While energy needs decrease with age, nutrient needs remain the same or increase. Malnutrition affects many older adults, and even those who are overweight can be malnourished. Signs of malnutrition include weight loss, loose clothing, changes in appetite, and needing reminders to eat. Fortifying foods with protein is key, as muscle loss is a natural part of ageing. Include protein throughout the day from dairy, nuts, soy, or whey protein powder. Physical activity is also crucial for preventing disease, maintaining independence, and improving mental health. Strength training is important to prevent falls. Consult a doctor or dietician with any concerns about malnutrition or weight loss.
