Nutrition is a key component affecting our health and lifespan. Several studies have shown that diet and longevity are strongly linked, and that simple and small dietary changes can have positive results on longevity. Some examples of these changes are reducing meat intake and increasing plant based consumption 1. Good nutrition across the lifespan helps prevent chronic disease — and we know that it’s never too late to make improvements to support healthy aging 2. Better nutrition is related to improved infant, child and maternal health, stronger immune systems, safer pregnancy and childbirth, lower risk of non-communicable diseases (such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease), and longevity. 3
