How Aging Affects Digestion
Print on Demand
As you age, your digestive muscles move slower. Your body makes less acid. Other things can hamper the digestive system, too. These include:
• Increased use of medicines
• Getting less exercise
• Changes in eating habits
• Dental problems
• Loss of muscle tone and elasticity. This could be a factor in hiatal hernias and diverticulosis, which are common in persons as they get older.
