The United Nation estimates that today, 1 in every 10 people is 60 years or older. In a world population of 6 billion, that amounts to 600 million elderly, By 2050, it is projected that 1 in every 5 of us will be at least 60 years old. This is not surprising. In fact, scientist have recovered that we have the potential to liva a vibrant and meaningful life until at least 120 years old. It's also possible for us to live to be even 150 years old!!!
We are unable to expect the elderly to remain physically active as they age. This create an urgent need for disease-preventing foods. The only way to help the elderly to stay healthy is to teach them to eat more plant foods. This establishes and strengthens the need for a life-prolonging science like Nutritional Immunology.
