Concerns unique to seniors
As we age, our bodies change. We don’t have the same ability to
repair tissue damage and build bones as we did in our youth. Appetite
and the sense of taste often diminish, resulting in less than optimum
nutrition. Disorders such as osteoporosis, memory loss, and cataracts,
although not inevitable, become more likely. Seniors have special
concerns and special needs.
When things go wrong
Many disorders that we didn’t consider in our youth concern us more
as we age. These include bowel regularity, adequate digestion,
malnutrition, arthritis, bone fragility, heart disease, hypertension,
cataracts, macular degeneration, osteoporosis, and memory loss.
Why things go wrong
As we age, we often eat less. This means we get fewer of the
nutrients we need. Nutritional deficiencies often seen in seniors
include deficiencies in the minerals calcium, magnesium, potassium,
zinc, chromium, iron, copper, and selenium, and in the vitamins A, B1,
B2, B6, B12, C, D, and folic acid. Dehydration is also often a problem.
Seniors also have the same bad diet as most of us. Other factors
include insufficient digestive enzymes, lack of fiber, lack of exercise,
social isolation, and lack of mental stimulation.
To maintain seniors’ health
The Healthy Cell Concept™ is very important, especially getting
adequate amounts of cell food and cell water. For bone health,
weightlifting and stretching are useful. It is also extremely important
that we have social contact and mental stimulation.
