Hello and welcome to Zoe Recap, where each week we find the best bits from one of our podcast episodes to help you improve your health.

Today we're discussing food for the future.

A lot of things change as we age, our dress sense, our taste in music, and importantly our body.

The truth is your body is not the same as it was 20 or even 10 years ago.

So why should your diet be the same?

Dr Federica Amati is here to explain why our nutrition needs change as we enter later life

and how we can adjust our diet to support this.

We need to be aware that our bodies change throughout our lives.

We are not static beings.

We evolve every year.

We become someone new in terms of physiology and metabolism.

A lot of the people I've worked with one-on-one, Jonathan, come to me and they say,

I've always eaten this way. It's, Jonathan, come to me and they say, I've always

eaten this way, it's always served me, and now suddenly it doesn't. And what I would love for people

to embrace and to understand is that we're supposed to change. And changing is part of the

privilege of aging. So if we're lucky enough to live a long life, then we should expect that

our bodies and our physiology

and our needs change with that.

Federica, is there anything specifically that you're talking about then as we go into later

life that is different about the dietary advice from what you've been talking about in these

earlier stages?

Yes, there is.
