Presenter: Aileen Burford-Mason PhD The New Nutrition Series, which has been running each Spring and Fall since 2003, is an up-to-date exploration of the critical role diet and supplements play in maintaining the health of our bodies and brains. Present-day diets often fail to provide enough of the essential nutrients—fats, proteins, vitamins, and minerals—needed for peak performance. The New Nutrition examines how the body relies on these nutrients to carry out vital functions, such as converting food into energy, regulating blood pressure, promoting restful sleep, and preventing chronic conditions like memory loss and age-related bone deterioration. The webinars are designed to be useful to a broad audience. The series breaks down complex nutritional science into practical, easy-to-understand information, offering actionable advice on optimizing diet and supplements for better health. Webinar content is rooted in the latest scientific research, and will appeal to both laypersons and health professionals seeking timely, evidence-based insights into the rapidly evolving field of nutrition. Part 3 – Preventing Osteoporosis: Diet and Supplements for Healthy Bones This webinar focuses on the role of nutrition in preventing osteoporosis, emphasizing the importance of a balanced intake of essential nutrients beyond just calcium and vitamin D. It covers the roles of magnesium, vitamin K2, and other trace minerals, as well as the critical role of adequate protein intake in supporting bone strength and bone density. The session highlights how these nutrients work together and provides a holistic approach to preventing the development and progression of osteoporosis through dietary and lifestyle changes.
