Backed by the latest research, Eat Well, Age Better describes, in straightforward language, how to be your own nutritionist. By taking control and optimizing your diet now with selected vitamins and other supplements, you can increase energy, strengthen your immune system, maintain a healthy brain, and embark upon your retirement years with vigour and vitality.

Eat Well, Age Better shows how you can recognize nutritional shortfalls—deficits that will increase your risk of the degenerative diseases of aging, including diabetes, osteoporosis, dementia, macular degeneration, heart disease, and stroke.
