About this ebook
Aging and Digestion explores the connection between aging and digestive health, focusing on how natural bodily changes impact nutrient absorption and gut bacteria balance. As we age, physiological shifts can lead to increased bloating and digestive issues, making understanding these changes vital. For instance, reduced stomach acid production and slower intestinal motility are common with age, affecting how our bodies process food.
The book progresses by first introducing the fundamentals of digestion and its age-related changes. It then dedicates chapters to common digestive disorders in older adults like constipation and IBS, detailing their causes and management. Finally, it shifts to actionable advice, providing evidence-based dietary modifications such as increasing fiber intake and incorporating probiotics to support a healthy gut microbiome.
This book uniquely combines medical insights with practical advice, offering a holistic approach to empower readers to manage their digestive health effectively. The text emphasizes that while age-related digestive changes are inevitable, proactive dietary and lifestyle interventions can significantly mitigate their negative impacts. Maintaining a healthy gut is achievable at any age and can improve overall health and quality of life. By understanding the changes in your gut microbiota and implementing dietary modifications, you can ensure efficient nutrient absorption and reduce digestive discomfort.
