Senior and clinical nutrition

Meet nutritional needs: Good nutrition is important at every stage of life, from infancy through late adulthood. The basics of a balanced diet remain the same but individual nutritional needs change as we grow older. No matter what age, it is never too late to start living a healthier life!

Whether aged 50 or 85, active or homebound, food choices will affect our overall health in the years ahead. The risk for certain diseases associated with aging such as heart disease, sarcopenia, osteoporosis and diabetes can be reduced with a lifestyle that includes healthy eating.

Good nutrition also helps in the treatment and recovery from illness. While healthy living can’t turn back the clock, it can help you feel good for longer. According to a recent consumer study (2015*) 74% of people over 65 are very /extremely concerned with “maintaining normal activities when I age”. At Roquette, we have identified a mainstreaming of clinical nutrition towards all Seniors Ageing Healthy in order to live longer in good health and to experience a satisfying retirement.

Aiming for “stay active” healthy lifestyle outcomes, food producers can rely on GLUCIDEX® maltodextrins and NUTRALYS® proteins.

The NUTRALYS® range of pea proteins provides ageing people with the perfect protein to maintain strength and protect an active lifestyle.
