As we get older, our nutritional requirements begin to change and although the rules for a healthy balanced diet remain the same, our need for certain nutrients such as protein, calcium, iron, folic acid and vitamin D may increase.
Because we're usually less active than younger members of the family, as we get older we need fewer calories than we once did and may find our appetite dwindling.
With a proper diet and as much exercise as we can comfortably manage, however, there's no reason why any of us shouldn't stay healthy and active into our old age.
