As the population ages, more and more focus has been made on nutritional management as a means for promoting healthy aging. Functional foods are becoming increasingly popular, as they are foods that contain bioactives that provide a health benefit beyond basic nutrition, and are designed to be consumed as part of a healthy diet.
Functional foods for healthy aging is a toolkit intended for registered dietitians to provide more information on functional foods, and their importance to older adults.
The toolkit includes:
- Background information about functional foods
- Background information about older adults and how functional foods would benefit their health
- Results from a University of Guelph research study designed to explore functional food consumption in a sample of older adults
- Educational resources to facilitate interaction with older adults about functional foods
