Nutrtion
Earl Mindell's Vitamin Bible for the 21st Century, Earl Mindell, Ph.D, R.Ph (Registered Pharmacist), Master Herbalist, and best-selling author of books about maintaining health through nutrition for the last 20 years, states,
"Aging is caused by the degeneration of cells.
Our bodies are made up of millions of these cells, each with a life of somewhere around two years or less. But before a cell dies, it reproduces itself. Why then, you might wonder, shouldn't we look the same now as we did ten years ago? The reason for this is that with each successive reproduction, the cell goes through some alteration—basically deterioration. So as our cells change, deteriorate, we grow old. The good news is that deteriorating cells can be rejuvenated if provided with substances that directly nourish them..

Nearly 90% of Americans above age 65 have one or more degenerative disorders (diseases that develop over time), including heart disease, cancer, arthritis, diabetes, and osteoporosis. Once considered diseases of old age, these conditions are now also being seen as lifestyle-related diseases, which means that changes in habits, including diet, can significantly reduce their risks. For instance, Dr. Dean Ornish, a California cardiologist, demonstrated that heart disease could be reversed by a low-fat vegetarian diet combined with exercise and stress reduction techniques such as meditation and yoga. Furthermore, it has been strongly demonstrated that improper diet is directly correlated with disease and premature aging. Obesity, for example, shortens life expectancy and increases the risk of diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease. For seniors, it is never too late to adopt informed nutritional practices to improve health and chances for longer, healthier life.
skipping down to healthy oils:
Seniors should also take care to get plenty of essential fatty acids (EFAs) in the diet, particularly omega-3 EFA and omega-6 EFA, important nutrients for the elderly and essential fats for the body. Omega-3 EFA is found in cold-water fish like salmon and mackerel as well as in walnuts, wheat germ, and flaxseed. EFAs can also be obtained in such nutritional supplements as evening primrose oil, wheat germ oil, borage oil, flaxseed oil, and hemp seed oil.
