with Anita Bean, RNutr
Hosted by Rohini Bajekal, Nutritionist & Webinar Lead at Plant-Based Health Professionals UK
(CPD Accredited by the CPD Certification Service for 1 CPD hour and CME accredited for the LM MOC)
What will I learn from this webinar?
Participants will be better informed about the impact of ageing on muscle, bone health, and physical performance, and how nutrition can mitigate these effects.
They will understand how to apply evidence-based strategies to support strength, recovery, and overall wellbeing in older adults. The session will enable participants to:
- Recognise the importance of adequate protein, leucine, and recovery nutrition in maintaining muscle mass and function.
- Make informed choices about dietary sources of protein, including plant-based options.
- Appreciate the role of supplements such as creatine in supporting performance, bone density, and cognitive health.
Overall, this training will enhance participants’ ability to promote effective self-care and guide
older adults in managing their health and activity through optimal nutrition.
