#AfN_NorthWest Nutrition and the 85+ age group. How can nutritional professionals and food industry help this group to eat healthily?

Interesting to hear that the cohort of 85+ in Newcastle have been very positive about their health and wellbeing. Isnβt is directing us to the importance of the βvitalityβ? #afn_northwest

#afn_northwest @AfN_UK_ Dr Tom Hill "attitude to life plays a huge part in life expectancy and wellness after 85" @saralivadeas
— Barbara Bray (@bapbray) February 3, 2018
Listening to Dr Tom Hill about be determinant or dietary protein intake in older adults I am thinking that it is not really easy to meet the protein recommendations for this population via consuming usual food, unless your diet is extremely well planned #AfN_NorthWest
— Dr F Amirabdollahian (@F_Nutrtion_Hope) February 3, 2018
Excellent presentation of evidence of nutrition in very old. Thanks Dr Tom Hill #afn_northwest pic.twitter.com/x4oNrl5xeY
