Abstract
Life-expectancy increases by five hours per day in the UK, already most postmenopausal women live beyond 80 years. By this age, one in three women will have osteoporotic fractures, one in three will have severe cognitive impairment or Alzheimer’s and one in two severe sarcopenia. The ravages of these conditions can certainly be delayed or sometimes even avoided with appropriate health and lifestyle interventions. It is important that individuals and their health professionals are aware of these changes, and what they should do or avoid in terms of lifestyle and diet, yet currently this advice is rarely given. Exciting interventions relating to diet, health and lifestyle that offer possibilities for dramatically improving the quality of people’s lives now exist.
