Dear Barb,

Can you
explain aging
and nutrition?
Thank you,
Sarah

In the biological sense, aging
is a decline of vigor, strength,
virility, endurance, stamina and
vitality. This is the opposite
of development, growth, and
maturing in early life

Aging is a progressive decline in
homeostasis and reduced ability
to stress.

Aging does not kill us but the
disease process, stress, or an
accident does.

Physical activity slows cardiac
aging and vascular aging reduces
the risk of heart disease.

In this modern age, we still don't
really know what causes aging, as
aging varies within individuals.
As our life span increases, special
problems exist in the nutrition
of older people. The responses
cause poor appetite, deletion of
important foods from the diet,
digestive issues, poor absorption
of fats, slower movement of foods
through the intestines, dietary
deficiencies, hyperglycemia,
chewing problems and more.
Our bodies rely on antioxidants
and phytochemicals that squash
free radicals and neutralize
destructive- oxidation reactions.
It is hard to grasp the concept that
our cells begin to die, our energy
becomes reduced, and nutrients
somehow, are not effective. It
becomes obvious that it is difficult
for the body to renew, resist, and
recover from diseases.
