He proposes a food pyramid adapted to people over 70, with emphasis on vegetable proteins, complex carbohydrates and healthy fats, as well as recommending physical activity and nutritional supplements under medical supervision. It also explores recent research on proteins such as Klotho and GDF-11, linked to longevity. The text stresses the need to individualize nutritional guidelines, consider cultural preferences and promote autonomy and mental health in old age.
