When we were young, we used to think that our parents are the strongest human in the world. They always played an important role when we need major support, physically and mentally.
As we grow up, however, we can spot some physical changes of our parents that restrain them from doing some activities they love to do such as walking in the park, traveling the world, even just climbing stairs seems more strenuous for them. This might be because their body starts breaking down more muscle as they ages. Preserving and building muscle strength is one of the most important things to prepare for retirement. Muscle loss can be slowed down by an active lifestyle and consuming a well-balanced, nutrient-packed diet. Older adults need a higher intake of good quality protein to help maintain physical function and minimize natural muscle loss. Many nutrients such as protein, iron, calcium and magnesium as well as Vitamin D are necessary to maintain normal muscle function. However, as we get older, many eat less, do not consume enough protein and are unable to synthesise Vitamin D as well as before, Vitamin D can help on keeping our bones and and teeth healthy. Vitamin D and some minerals are also found in a limited number of foods, making it tough to get enough of these nutrients through a regular diet.[1] Swarovski has engaged Giovanna Battaglia Engelbert as its first ever company-wide Creative Director.
