3. Digestive Efficiency and Nutrient Absorption
Digestion naturally slows as stomach acid production decreases and intestinal motility wanes. This can lead to a “full” feeling earlier in meals and a decline in the absorption of critical nutrients like Vitamin B12, Iron, and Calcium.
- What to expect: Occasional constipation or unexplained fatigue due to nutrient gaps.
- Proactive Habits: Opt for smaller, nutrient-dense meals throughout the day rather than three large ones. Focus on high-fiber foods and consistent water intake.
