The World Health Organization reports document clearly the fact that non-communicable so-called civilization diseases such as cardiovascular disease, chronic respiratory diseases, neurological deficits, cancer, or type 2 diabetes are responsible not only for over 50% of all premature deaths in the world but also an overall decline in the quality of life of aging societies. Research carried out over the past 20 years has provided convincing data suggesting that both diet and lifestyle are essential factors influencing the risk of development of these diseases. The increasing knowledge on health-promoting properties of certain food ingredients (in particular, those of plant origin), a new perception of meal planning for proper body mass maintenance and rapidly advancing knowledge on the importance of health-targeting physical activity opened new avenues for prevention of chronic diseases and healthy aging. What opportunities for individuals, but also industry and medical care institutions are provided by current science to ensure extended satisfying life for Silver Generation will be discussed during this session.
