The human body requires nutrients to be able to function properly and maintain optimum health. Besides oxygen, water, protein, carbohydrates and sun energy, there are 21 minerals, 13 vitamins and 2 essential fatty acids that are vital for our health. As we age, all the functions in our bodies slow down. Digestion and absorption, two of the most important functions that help us maintain good health begin to lose potency as we age. The level of hydrochloric acid and other digestive enzymes secreted by the stomach slowly decreases, and the body struggles to absorb enough nutrients from the food taken in.
