Abstract

  Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul. Health is wealth and to strive this perfect health every mankind is running throughout all ages. Optimum nutrition furnishes substrates required for expression of genetic heritage. Thus, nutrition might play a vital role in influencing the occurrence and severity of degenerative diseases in elderly. Ageing itself may be associated with several nutritional problems, or indirectly due to interactions from medications. This review article highlights the changes in diet associated with ageing and importance of nutrition among elderly wearing complete dentures.
