The Aged, Senior Citizens, Dementia & Proper Nutrition

Its no doubt that in the areas of medical care and geriatrics as well as gerontology that as people age they encounter and report no shortage of factors that can well lead to increased nutrient deficiency as if not a whole host of nutrient deficiencies. Indeed if its not mental depression or even dementia poor variety in the diets of the elderly and aged can result in poor and reduced exposure to nutrients and trace minerals of dietary intake.

A whole wrath of factors can drain nutrients and reduce nutrient values. Being chronically ill or even malnourished can do the trick. Yet it need not get to that level or point in time by any means or manner. Chronic diseases on top of that - Dr. Linux Pauling also reported that in the research of other respected scientists and authorities in the health care fields that plaque in the arteries of our vascular systems are laid down only as temporary repair materials by our bodies and immune repair systems for damaged blood vessels. It seems that overall the body uses cholesterol plaques as an emergency secondary response to vascular damage and not as a first line primary modality response.

First things first. The journey of a lifetime - It can be said that a person makes a conscious choice to take in nutrient toxins as well as other toxic substances daily through digesting or inhaling food additives , medications, chemicals in personal hygiene products as well as alcohol and tobacco. It is well known that the body's detoxifying or "sewage system" includes your colon and kidneys but it is a person's liver which is responsible for neutralizing and removing harmful substances and toxins from the blood and bloodstream. You may well have read on the popular press , or listened on online health and wellness related authority pod-casts that Vitamin D is the "wonder drug of 2010". It seems that that not only that but stated dosages were really inadequate and whose values were detained in relation to the amount of vitamin d needed by small children to prevent rickets - (Vitamin D) deficiency and deficiencies only. You can generally increase the dose of ingested vitamin D greatly. Consult your doctor, physician or professional health care provider. Food and basic healthy food in most cases form the basis of their mental diet. Where to start? If you or a senior member of your family , or acquaintance is having health or wellness issues or feel that they are at some risk - being proactive and adopting a healthy whole foods diet along with an exercise regimen and plan may well be in the cards . Why wait for spring.

Heart disease can be said to be caused by ingestion or exposure to many common everyday pathogens and toxins. For example when lungs and the bronchial tree have inhaled over the years carcinogens such as cigarette , cigar and tobacco related tar and tars these can cause a lack of oxygen in the blood and bloodstreams leading to a whole host of health and health related issues and concerns. Secondly it's a great idea to get a lot more sunshine. It seems that most seniors and senior citizens in America - so report the American Seniors Association ,generally try to avoid a lot of direct sun exposure. No doubt there has been a lot of messages in the media to avoid strong or even mild sunlight to prevent skin cancer , cancers and melanomas. In addition the body can well become less efficient at making its own vitamin D as we age. In the medical and pharmaceutical literature are scads of reports of illnesses with low and lower levels of vitamin D in the body of the elderly and senior citizens. A detox program using natural herbs for the liver , kidneys and colon like milk thistle, blessed thistle persimmon, malva and marshmallow leaves- aids an over stressed detoxification system.

A good quality multivitamin can work wonders overall. For seniors an iron free multi-vitamin and mineral supplement will usually fill the bill - so reports centurion care giver of note William Simpson. Particularly if the multivitamin is fortified with extra amounts of some nutrients that are sometimes low and lacking in seniors such as zinc, selenium magnesium ,COQ10 and especially Vitamin B12. Natural is always better. Sugar , white flour products, frozen , highly packaged and canned foods no doubt often lack many of the important if not "trace" elements that our bodies need if not crave for us as human beings and mammals need to stay healthy , alert and on the go.

Heart disease is also caused by malnutrition. Nobel laureate Linux Pauling PhD , discovered that nutrition can actually work to reverse heart disease.

Pauling's formula starts with the fact that cardiovascular disease can be actually caused by a lack of common ordinary Vitamin C. Also lacking are a couple of natural Amino Acids specifically L-proline and L-lysine. His formula also included supportive minerals magnesium .Selenium as well as Vitamins E, A & B
