In this blog, as well as our last blog, we’re talking about the aging body. As our bodies age, we’re more prone to degenerating body parts. To mitigate deterioration, consider improving your diet, exercising, and adding supplementation to your routine. Here are some further problems that our bodies endure as we age:

Aging & Our Muscles

Muscles can deteriorate and weaken over time. As the body ages, it’s less likely to build muscle, and more likely to allow muscle to shrink. Maintaining your muscle mass can be achieved with low-impact exercises, proper dieting, and supplementation. NutraBulk has various supplements that can aid an aging body in holding its muscle mass and strength. Creatine and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) may reduce or reverse muscle mass loss, even in folks who are 60-years-old or older.

Aging & Our Digestive Tract

Digestive issues can spring up in a body’s advanced age. Constipation is one of the most common issues that can occur, but prevention is fortunately rather attainable. Be sure to eat a diet that’s rich in fiber, and make sure that you have regular exercise. Simply walking once a day can be enough to relieve constipation. Eating foods including veggies, fruits, and whole grains may also help.

Aging & The Nervous System

As we age, we may lose some of our memory capabilities. Our memories rely on healthy neurons and strong neural connectivity. Moreover, our memory, and all of our neural functions throughout the body and mind, rely on chemical compounds to fire and register neural activity. Neurons naturally degenerate with age, but with sufficient nutrition, sleep, and activity, neurons live longer. You can strengthen your neurons by bettering your diet by including brain health supplements, getting enough sleep, and exercising your brain. Feel free to check out our variety of brain health supplements here, and get in touch with our on-site nutritionist if you’re curious about the right supplement for your personal needs.
