Eat to Cheat Aging

Autor Ngaire a Hobbins
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 feb 2016

Eat To Cheat Aging is a book by professional dietitian Ngaire Hobbins who specializes in aging wellness and gerontology. In it she skilfully presents the science of nutrition and aging in everyday language, making this a rewarding and informative read for anyone heading towards or who has already reached 60, 70 or more.

Most people are unaware that nutrition needs change with age and too often make food choices that they believe are right for them but instead put them at risk. The medical science is clear that there is a difference between the right advice for younger and older adults- Ngaire's book puts that information in the hands of everyday people so they can avoid unnecessary physical and mental decline.

This book sets out clearly why things are different for people as they age and provides guidance on what to eat and do to continue to enjoy an independent, productive life.

It addresses both physical and mental health; how body muscle plays a pivotal role in both and what you need to do to help your muscles support your immune system, body organs and brain. It looks at the special considerations around diabetes with advancing age, considers bodyweight in a completely different light, addresses the challenges of poor appetite, discusses common medications that can impact successful aging and much more.

Eat To Cheat Aging provides a wealth of information along with practical, sensible advice to keep those who are fit and well thriving and to help those who are less well to maintain and improve their physical and mental capacity. And what's even better is that's about enjoying real food and even relishing a few treats to support the unique needs of aging bodies.

Notă biografică

Ngaire Hobbins is a dietitian driven by a passion to promote independence and health in older people by averting physical and mental decline that is all too common because of inappropriate food choices. She is an advocate for promoting the joy of eating and the essential place food plays in the health of all older people, whether living independently, being assisted in the community or residing in residential care. She's lives in Australia and is a clinical practitioner, aging wellness consultant, author and lecturer in dementia studies, University of Tasmania, an aged care consultant and seniors' advocate. Ngaire is skilled at translating scientific information into language accessible to the everyday reader. Her books aim to assist every person in their mid 60s and beyond, or those who are heading there in the next decade or so to enjoy independent, productive lives in their later years. Ngaire's books came about because she saw too many older people who were following eating advice that was wrong for them - advice right for people 30, 40 or 50 but anything from unhelpful to dangerous for those nearer to 80 or beyond. They were often unaware that the food choices they thought were right, instead put them at risk. Age imposes unique demands on our bodies and not eating to meet those contributes to physical and mental decline, thus squandering precious independence. Ngaire's writing combines insights from years in clinical practice with a thorough review of the nutritional science in ageing and dementia but the style and language is for the everyday reader. She is also an engaging and knowledgeable speaker who presents a refreshing approach to eating and boosting vitality and independence in later life.
