Key Changes in the GI System
Diminished Digestive Efficiency
As we age, the gastrointestinal system may process food less efficiently, impacting nutrient absorption and leading to potential deficiencies.
Slower Transit Time
Older adults may experience a slower movement of food through the digestive tract, resulting in constipation and discomfort.
Altered Gut Flora
Aging can lead to significant changes in gut microbiota, which may influence digestive health and the immune system.
Understanding Gastrointestinal Changes
Reduced Saliva Production
As we age, the mouth produces less saliva, impacting digestion and food intake.
Altered Muscle Activity
Smooth muscles in the digestive tract may weaken, leading to slower digestion.
Nutrient Absorption Issues
Aging impacts the body's ability to absorb essential nutrients efficiently.
Other Physiological Changes
Various changes including altered gut flora can further complicate digestion.
