Aging

  • As life expectancy continues to increase, millions of seniors are living well into their eighties and nineties.
  • In fact, people eighty-five years and older represent the fastest-growing segment of the population.
  • To avoid becoming sick and disabled before they reach old age, people want to know what they can do to stay healthy.
  • We prefer to use a more scientific approach that defines several characteristics of aging:
    • Increased risk of dying
    • Increased risk of disease
    • Changes in tissues and organs
    • Decreased ability of the body to respond to environmental stresses, such as changes in the temperature, diet, and infectious organisms.
  • Our daily eating habits change as our bodies get older. 
  • We implement small adjustments to help you enjoy the foods and beverages you eat and drink.
