Appeton Wellness 60+ the complete easy-to digest balanced nutrition for Senior 60+

Malnutrition is common among those 60 years and above. Malnutrition occurs when the body lacks the nutrients it needs to maintain health due to one or more factors. Age-related physiological and biological changes like loss of teeth and poorly fitted dentures causes chewing difficulties, reduced taste and dry mouth, affects the food intake and food choices among the elderly. Poor digestion due to lack of saliva and digestive juice may lead to poor digestion and nutrient absorption. Poor absorption causes the decline in the rate of new cell growth, and tissues become more susceptible to damage. In addition, with the decreases in smooth muscle tone, there is slower food movement through the system as the contraction necessary for the movement and breakdown of food becomes weaker.

Studies also have found that nutritional deficiencies are common among the elderly especially for Vitamin B1, B2, B3 (niacin), calcium, Vitamin A and also Iron. Most studies found that elderly are not taking sufficient amount of energy as recommended by United State Dietary Recommended Intake (US DRI) and also Malaysia Recommended Nutrient Intake (RNI) for those who are 60 years old and above.

Malnutrition due to physiological and biological changes due to aging or insufficient food intake causes the elderly to suffer from weight loss, get dehydrated, tires easily, fall sick frequently and suffer from poor oral health. Coupled with age-related decline in certain nutrients like Coenzyme Q10 and Chromium, it causes the elderly to develop age related chronic diseases like diabetes, coronary heart disease, hypertension etc.

It is therefore important for the elderly to get sufficient amount of nutrient to prevent certain age-related diseases.
