Active aging is a term being thrown around a lot these days, but what does it mean and how would one achieve it? An evidence-based answer as to how one can age successfully and actively is at the intersection between good, balanced nutrition and physical activity. Dr. Phillips’ lecture will cover the latest science of how exercise and nutrition interact to give us the greatest odds of fending off the leading killers of Canadians and being active as we age.
