Aging
The Baby Boomers have come of age! Today people born between 1946 and 1964 are turning 60 at the rate of approximately 10,000 per day.
They intend to stay young forever! Not only do they not want to age, but they are learning that supplementing their diets with antioxidants and other nutritional aids will often help them have fewer wrinkles and trimmer figures. Nutrition is one of the most important factors in slowing down the aging process. What we eat (and what we don't get from the food we do eat!) show in the lines on our faces, our waistbands and in our stamina. Using Glyconutrients as a part of the everyday diet helps to supply the nutrition we no longer get from our traditional food sources.
Many chronic diseases, such as osteoporosis, can be influenced by poor eating habits during adolescence and early adulthood. Good nutrition, including ample Phytonutrients and Glyconutrients, can lessen the effects of diseases occurring in older Americans, and improve the quality of life for those who have such diseases.
Studies show that a good diet in later years helps both reduce the risk of disease, and maintain a higher quality of life wherein older persons are able to maintain their independence. They can better perform basic daily activities, such as dressing, eating and caring for their own personal hygiene. Conversely, poor diet (often without fruits and vegetables that are vine ripened in the sun) can prolong recovery from disease, leading to increased costs, possible institutionalization, and hence a much poorer quality of life.
The American Medical Association has said that today it is prudent for all adults to use dietary supplements as a means of augmenting their food supply. For older Americans on limited or fixed incomes, it is often difficult to purchase anywhere near an adequate amount of fresh fruits and vegetables.
Understanding the Wellness Code and what it stands for can be vital to all people and especially for older persons. It is essential that they use dietary supplements strong in the essential saccarides (Glyconutrients) and phytochemicals.
