Healthy ageing: the lifelong task of getting the right micronutrients

This episode continues our series of conversations taking us inside food science and it centres on the role of micronutrients as we age.

For decades, medical scientists and the food industry have studied this microscopic world of vitamins, trace elements, amino acids, essential fatty acids and more in a bid to understand the true extent of the role they play in nutrition and health.

Dr Christina Mesch, a nutrition scientist and product manager at SternVitamin GmbH & Co. talks to Stefan about how we should approach the lifelong task of getting the right micronutrients in our diet and how they can benefit immune health and the prevention of chronic disease.
