What are some topics dealing with women’s health and aging?
One big issue that seniors deal with is nutrition. During the senior years fewer calories are needed, but activity also impacts this need. Because less food is consumed to maintain a healthy weight, more care must be taken to choose low-fat and nutrient-rich foods. As the years pass by, lean body mass (muscle) is lost, metabolic rate slows and calories are burnt more slowly. Successful aging and good nutrition go hand in hand. Source: http://www.dhss.mo.
