The population worldwide is ageing, and this is true for Australia's population as well. One hundred years ago, five in every 100 people made it past the age of 65 years. Today, one in seven people make it past that age.

But it's not all about living longer. We all want to live healthier too.

Nutrition expert Dr Tim Crowe takes us through what happens to our bodies as we age – from the inevitable changes that come with ageing, to what we can do to ensure we age in the healthiest way possible.

Learn about the key nutrients and lifestyle choices that make all the difference.
