Nutrition to support healthy longevity

Healthy longevity is shaped by many factors, including genetics, lifestyle and overall health status. As we age, our nutritional needs evolve, and the right nutrition can help support strength, mobility, cognition and overall wellbeing throughout life.

Muscles: maintaining muscle mass and strength is important for mobility, daily function and independence throughout ageing. High-quality protein can help support muscle health and physical performance over time. 

Body composition: changes in muscle and fat mass are a natural part of ageing. Good nutrition and physical activity can help support a healthier body composition.

Bones: bone health plays a vital role in healthy longevity by supporting strength, mobility and resilience. Getting the right nutrition can help maintain bone mass and strength as we age, supporting active living1.


Brain:
nutrition also plays an important role in supporting brain health throughout the lifespan. Targeted nutrients can help support cognitive function, including memory and mental performance, as part of a healthy longevity approach2

 

Research shows that adequate nutrition and physical activity can positively affect our body as we age and help maintain our physical and mental abilities for longer3,4,5.

We offer natural high-quality whey proteins, milk-derived minerals and, milk-derived phospholipids with documented health for use in the formulation of products targeting healthy longevity.
