Pier Giorgio Natali | Nutrition and Nutraceuticals for Healthy Aging | Milan Longevity Summit 2026

*Biofortified Functional Foods in Chronic Diseases of Aging* *Could everyday foods become tools for preventing age-related disease?* In this session from *Nutrition and Nutraceuticals for Healthy Aging* at the *Milan Longevity Summit 2026*, **Professor Pier Giorgio Natali* explores the potential of biofortified functional foods as part of strategies to address chronic diseases associated with ageing. Biofortification aims to increase the nutritional or bioactive properties of foods, while functional foods seek to deliver health benefits beyond basic nutrition. Together, these approaches are opening new possibilities for using diet as a more targeted component of prevention. Professor Natali examines how functional and biofortified foods could contribute to healthier ageing and chronic disease prevention, bridging nutritional science, biomedical research, and the growing understanding of food as an active determinant of long-term health. Professor Pier Giorgio Natali is Scientific Coordinator of the *Mediterranean Task Force for Cancer Control*, with extensive experience in biomedical and cancer research. His work explores the intersection between disease prevention, nutrition, and strategies for reducing the burden of chronic disease. The Milan Longevity Summit brings together global leaders across science, medicine, policy, business, technology and society to rethink the future of health through a *One Health* perspective — recognising that the wellbeing of people, planet and economies is deeply interconnected. *Learn more about the Milan Longevity Summit:* https://www.milanlongevitysummit.org/it/speakers26/pier-giorgio-natali #MilanLongevitySummit #Longevity #OneHealth #PierGiorgioNatali #FunctionalFoods #Biofortification #Nutrition #DiseasePrevention #HealthyAgeing #Healthspan
