Chp3 nutrition and aging
This document discusses nutrition and aging. It defines aging as a gradual process influenced by genetics, lifestyle, and environment over one's lifespan. Aging occurs at the molecular, cellular, and tissue levels through programmed and error theories. Nutrition risks increase as adults age, including macronutrient excesses, micronutrient deficiencies, and diminished activity. Organ function also declines as adults age, impacting the kidneys, liver, pancreas and other organs. Nutritional recommendations focus on maintaining adequate intake of vitamins, minerals, protein and fluids to support the aging body.
