subject: Herbal Remedies For Anti Aging By Herbal Ayurveda Remedes [print this page] Aging is not illness but it does make the body more vulnerable to disease. Whatever theory of aging ultimately proves to be correct , and probably there are a number of factors which, in combination will eventually be found to have a profound effects, it is unquestionably true that a significant number of problems faced by people over the age of sixty may also be attributable to nutritional deficiencies .
Many elderly people have malabsorption problems, in which the nutrient foods are not properly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. In addition as we age, our bodies do not assimilate nutrients as well as they once did. At the same time, as the body ages, its symptoms slow down and become less efficient, so the correct nutrients are more important than ever for the support, repair and regeneration of the cells.
There are many disorders associated with an inability to absorb nutrients successfully . Vitamin B 12 deficiency is a particular problem. A lack of vitamin B 12 can lead to the development of neurological symptoms ranging from tingling sensations, inability to coordinate muscular movements, weekend limbs, and lack of balance to memory loss, mood changes ,disorientation and psychiatric disorders. Symptoms of vitaminB12 deficiency can easily be misinterpreted as signs of senility.
Many older people become deficient in vitamin B12 because they do not produce adequate amounts of stomach acid for proper digestion. This creates a perfect environment for the overgrowth of certain bacteria that steal whatever vitamin B12 is extracted from protein in the digestive tract. other people do not produce enough of a substances called intrinsic factor, without which vitamin B12 cannot travel from the stomach to the rest of the body, even if nothing else is standing in its way.
