3. Digestion Can Change
Digestive problems can become more common with age.
Some people experience constipation, become full more quickly, or notice that certain foods no longer agree with them as they once did. The original article also highlights possible changes in stomach acid and nutrient absorption.
A balanced diet containing fiber-rich foods, vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and adequate fluids can support healthy digestion.
However, unexplained weight loss, persistent abdominal pain, blood in the stool, or major changes in bowel habits should not simply be blamed on age.
