Active Ageing: Distinct Nutrition, Distinct Innovation?
Start Date:10/12/2019
Start Time:16:00 CET
Duration:60 minutes
Abstract:
The aging population is the fastest growing segment of society and increasingly, longer lifespans mean many of us will spend longer in elderhood than in middle-age or childhood.
A longer life brings great opportunities, however the extent to which individuals and society can benefit from these extra years depends heavily on one key factor: health.
At an individual level, while the ageing process is different for everyone, nutrition and exercise are key factors that can impact the quality of ageing.
Active Aging: Distinct Nutrition, Distinct Innovation?
Older adults have different nutrition and product needs compared to younger people and this is a growing area of opportunity for food innovation.
As a food or beverage manufacturer, how can you respond to meet this opportunity space?
Join us for the Kerry Health and Nutrition Institute Webinar where we will review current and emerging nutrition research on active ageing, and provide insights on:
- Established and emerging evidence around the role of nutrition and its impact on supporting physical and mental health as we age.
- Key need states, challenges and opportunities that the food and beverage industry face when positioning products for active agers.
