Description:
Aging brings with it the necessity of maintaining proper physical, mental and nutritional fitness to cope with the changes and challenges of getting older. This course will focus on essential features of nutrition for healthy living. Protein intake needs, weight management, microbiota of the “gut” for optimal health (e.g., nutrition, immune system, brain function), maintaining healthy blood/glucose levels, and nutritional limits of starches are some of the important topics to consider as we age. Class participants will be encouraged to tailor the course by suggesting other topics of general interest for exploration and discussion. Let’s talk about aging and achieving optimal nutrition and health!
Kent Hansen is a received his M.S. in Exercise Science from the University of Montana and received his PhD in Nutritional Science from the University of Wisconsin. He loves studying and talking about exercise and nutrition whether for health or for performance.
