Advances in food science relating to ageing, wellbeing and health


Most developed countries witness an increase in populations’ longevity. Alongside longer lifespan societies face increasing mental and physical deterioration resulting in productivity losses, decreased quality of life and booming healthcare costs. Ageing is a key societal and economic challenge in Europe. By adopting an active and healthy ageing philosophy it is possible to improve the quality of life of older citizens. An adequate nutrition is the basis for a good health. With the current challenge of the global pandemic, this training will guide you on how food can strengthen health and the immune system, in line with the World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations. To cross information on healthy ageing and food science, data-driven tools and models can be used to quantify nutrition and health in a population. This training is intended for those seeking to learn more about the health and well-being, and to those who want to know the key nutrients for immunity and which food relates to immune system strengthening.
