Want to hear about which foods may slow the ageing process? How to protect against Alzheimer's disease in later life? What impact your diet can have on skin ageing, arthritis and bone health? The British Nutrition Foundation conference on 13th January 2009 is all about what to eat to hold back the years.

Year on year, countries across the world continue to see an increase in life expectancy, largely attributed to the impact of modern medicine and disease eradication. There is now increasing evidence that environmental factors such as diet and lifestyle also have a significant role to play. However with this increase in years there often comes an unfortunate rise in chronic morbidity, with the quality of later life severely compromised by ill health. To celebrate the release of our latest Task Force Report, 'Healthy Ageing: The Role of Nutrition and Lifestyle', the British Nutrition Foundation are hosting a one-day conference on 13th January 2009 in central London.

Press passes are available for this event, and interviews with speakers can be arranged on request.
