10 Common Ailments of the Elderly

Now no matter who we are — man, woman, rich or poor — we all grow old. But the pace and precise way it happens varies from person to person, depending on genetic and environmental factors. While someone’s genetic makeup plays a huge part in determining his life expectancy, the quality of health care received and a healthy lifestyle are significant contributors to longevity.

Nonetheless, dealing with the aging process is a challenge, and when it begins, the impact is felt throughout the body — in the respiratory, cardiovascular, nervous, musculoskeletal, and immune systems.

While an individual can age and remain healthy, some ailments are directly linked to age-related change. That is a change in the season of life.

Those conditions include:

1. Cardiovascular diseases/ Hypertention/Stroke

2. Hearing loss

3. Arthritis

4. Sleep changes/disorders

5. Osteoporosis

6. Vision Changes/Glaucoma/ Cataract

7. Menopausal problems

8. Prostate problems

9. Diabetes

10. Cancer

Now let us examine the first and most common health conditions; Cardiovascular disease.

CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE & STROKE.

Thought at one time to be part of the normal aging process, cardiovascular disease and stroke are two disease processes that are now known to be influenced by lifestyle. Smokers, those who eat a lot of meat and fat and have high cholesterol levels are at high risk for this condition.

With age the heart becomes less efficient and must work harder to circulate blood throughout the body. Blood vessels lose their elasticity. The loss of elasticity, along with atherosclerosis (caused by hardened fatty deposits on the arterial walls), makes the arteries inflexible, which forces the heart to work harder. This process leads to high blood pressure.

High blood pressure, along with atherosclerosis and uncontrolled diabetes (see below) are two major risk factors for stroke.

A stroke can occur without warning and cause temporary or permanent brain damage and related loss of bodily function(s), depending on the area of the brain where the blockage occurs.

Natural Remedies For Cardiovascular disease and stroke.

The elderly and even the young can begin lifestyle changes that will help normalise blood pressure such as avoiding too much salt, worry, anxiety, worrying.
