Show Questions Answered Mrs. B. F. Between the ages of 60 and 70, and indeed thereafter, thereaft-er, there is a gradual decrease in the need for energy. All the body processes function more slowly. The amount of proteins, minerals and vitamins is also less, as no new tissue is being formed. An excess of food is less readily handled han-dled by the body in later years, so it is advisable for older people to guard carefully against over-indulgence in food. Miss B. W. J. As a rule, no special consideration need be given giv-en to the amount of sulphur in the diet. That is because sulphur in food is found almost entirely in the form of protein, and in a well-balanced diet which supplies sufficient protein, the require-' ments for sulphur will be adequately ade-quately met.
