The Truth About Nutrition and Aging: Why Generic Advice Stops Working

Aging changes how people's bodies process food, build muscle, regulate blood sugar and absorb nutrients. Yet most nutrition advice stays general. This free Zoom class is hosted by the UAF Cooperative Extension Service in Southeast Alaska. It explores the key biological changes that affect health over time and why many people hit a plateau despite “doing everything right.” Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of why personalized nutrition is often necessary to support long-term energy, resilience and well-being.
