As you age, malabsorption becomes a problem because your body is no longer able to break down and absorb nutrients like before. Aging causes some parts of the elderly to decline. In particular, the digestive system is also underactive, which makes it difficult for nutrients to be absorbed. That is the most important reason for functional food products to be born
Most modern drugs actually deplete essential nutrients. Supplements can help restore this imbalance. Functional foods bring benefits to the elderly such as:
Supplement adequate nutrients for the elderly when:
Unable to eat or drink, Eating without absorption
Supplement nutrients with high demand: vitamin D, calcium…
Support to ensure the health of the elderly. Limit and slow down aging.
Functional foods are also considered as placebos to help elderly people feel secure and happy with their health. If it is a product donated by children and grandchildren, grandparents will be happier, therapy for old age health.
