Topics include basic and specific nutritional needs, portion sizes, appropriate meal frequency, and the importance of avoiding pre-packaged and convenience foods as much as possible. The video also discusses malnutrition-linked ailments to which the elderly may be particularly susceptible, including metabolic bone disease.
