Eating for Life Stages

Nutritional needs change as we age and our activity levels shift. Practical guidance for different life phases.

The fundamentals of healthy eating stay the same throughout life - plenty of vegetables, adequate protein, minimise ultra-processed foods. But priorities and challenges shift with age. These guides address specific life-stage considerations.

A 25-year-old athlete and a 65-year-old retiree have different nutritional needs. Energy requirements, protein needs, micronutrient priorities, and practical challenges all vary.

These guides focus on evidence-based adjustments for specific life stages and situations.
