Abdominal & Urinary Conditions
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.
