To mark the International Day of Older Persons on 1 October, we highlight the changes our bodies undergo as we age. These changes can lead to loss of tone, joint pain, memory problems and reduced appetite. To age well, adopting good eating habits remains essential.
Senior nutritional deficiencies
As they age, seniors often reduce their food intake, which leads to insufficient nutritional intake. Several factors explain this decrease: loss of appetite, quicker satiety, changes in taste or swallowing difficulties. Dental problems can also make it harder to eat nutrient-rich foods. Social and psychological factors may worsen the situation.To address these challenges, seniors must maintain a balanced diet. Dietary supplements can also help fill nutritional gaps and support overall health, especially with antioxidants that help preserve cognitive function and slow cellular aging.
How to preserve overall senior health ?
Maintaining vitality and immunity
With age, hormone levels drop (oestrogen, testosterone, growth hormone). This decline often causes fatigue and low energy. The immune system also weakens, making the body more vulnerable. A balanced diet or targeted supplements can help. Our VITALITY and IMMUNITY gummies support energy levels and immune function.
Protecting joints
Joints wear down over time, and cartilage regenerates more slowly. This process leads to stiffness and discomfort. Plant-based supplements such as turmeric or collagen help support joint comfort and mobility.
Maintaining memory
Ageing impacts cognitive functions and can cause memory loss or reduced concentration. Vitamins B, vitamin C, magnesium and copper play key roles in the nervous system. Our MAGNESIUM + VITAMIN B6 gummies help improve concentration and support memory.
Improving sleep quality
Sleep often becomes lighter or disturbed with age. Melatonin, one of the ingredients in our SLEEP gummies, helps regulate the sleep cycle and improve sleep quality.
Protecting the skin from ageing
Skin also suffers from ageing. Wrinkles appear, and the complexion becomes dull as collagen and hyaluronic acid decrease. Oxidative stress, UV rays and pollution accelerate this process. Nutrients such as collagen and vitamin C support skin health and help reduce visible signs of ageing. Our marine collagen and vitamin C gummies offer a simple daily solution.
Did you know?
On 1 January 2024, people aged 60 and over made up more than 20% of the French population. Half of them were over 75. Since the 1980s, the share of people aged 65 and over has continued to rise, with a sharp acceleration after 2010. France now has the highest number of centenarians in Europe. Projections show around 270,000 centenarians in 2070, compared with only 200 in 1950 and 3,760 in 1990.
