This must be counteracted by a programme of exercise. There have now been many medical studies, including information from astronauts spending long periods in space, which show that only exercise that puts sufficient stress on the bone will maintain bone weight and muscle strength. If you don't use it you'll lose it!

The second priority for older people is to ensure that their digestive systems are functioning efficiently and not put under undue stress. The nutritional requirements for an older person are still similar to those of the younger adult, and the food combining lifestyle will ensure a stress free digestive system. An active man or very active woman will still require two starch based meals a day and one protein meal, but fresh fruit and vegetables are just as important for their vitamin and fibre content as for younger people. The aim should be to increase exercise where possible to match these meals, rather than reducing meals to match a low rate of exercise. The 1992 Committee on Medical Aspects of Food Policy recommended that older people should aim to eat meals based on starchy foods. They also particularly recommended oily fish for a protein meal as a source of vitamin D, and because the fish oils reduce the risk of thrombosis.

Regular exercise and the food combining diet should ensure that illness is not so severe, and recovery from illness or injury is more rapid.

The food combining diet should minimize the risk of developing diabetes and other age related digestive disorders. It also helps to maintain the natural hormone levels in the body.

I am over 60 and want to be more active in combining foods. It is much easier for me if I have "sample" menu's that help me make better selections. I like fruit and vegetables but I also enjoy the meat.

I am 60 years old and have recently had to cut yeast out of my diet for medical reasons. I have a hectic job which means I have to grab lunch on the go, so I usually end up eating sausage rolls, sandwiches and cakes. Do you any suggestions as to what I can eat instead? It needs to require hardly any preparation from me, not be spicy and be quick and unmessy to eat.
