Introduction
Always leaving the body’s building materials unaltered is not a healthy practice. molecules have a unique memory and they build in relationship to the environment. While we can not change external environmental factors, we can optimize the internal environment to promote cellular growth and activity.
In the case of the human body, building materials are delivered to important functions during the metabolic process and they need to be converted to other molecules for cell function. As we age, there are changes in the environment characterized by environmental pollution, as well as in our diets. They influence molecule formation in the body to either not occur or change to other types not normally found in the body.
The human body is affected by changes in the environment including the amount, type and manner of nutrients that are metabolized and those that change due to physical exertion and other factors. Moreover, the body changes the way it responds to and uses nutrients throughout the day. The metabolism of nutrients is the key element for the reduction of inflammation.
Inflammation is the process by which the body responds to injury. It is also the process that accompanies disease. Chylomicrons are examples of macrophages, the white blood cells known to scavenge free radicals that are responsible for excessive inflammation resulting from cellular damage; these macrophages are in turn, activated to intravenous delivery of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF- alpha ) and TNF- beta, which act as fixed factor to inhibit the formation of blood clots, strokes, and arteriosclerosis
The interleukin contributes to the formation of an inflammatory response by enhancing the function of white blood cells known as eosinophils; these white blood cells are the integral part of the immune system and are the first line of defense against foreign invaders that enter the body. Theses white blood cells keep the shapes of foreign invaders (including bacteria, viruses and parasitic organisms such as parasites or symbiotic bacteria) contained within the bodies tissues until they are eliminated from the body.
The body’s immune system holds in the first line of defense against such pathogens as invading viruses and bacteria and may even be more efficient at fighting these pathogens than the immune system of a child. However, the occurrence of such pathogens increases with age and as people age, there is a continuous opportunity for damage to occur.
The damage to the adenosine receptors can cause the bone-forming cells called osteoclasts to malfunction and cause the bones to lose mineralization, thus leading to osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by the de-mineralization of bone tissue and caused by a constant over doses of parathyroid hormone. It affects women and men, and is one of the most prevalent health conditions caused by the aging process. Osteoporosis is also associated with hormonal imbalances and high- nonetheless low-calorie diets, and is known as the silent disease.
Over the course of history, common factors that are associated with osteoporosis have arisen, including: weakening of the skeletal structure, dehydration, increased cardio-vascular activity, urban living, and stress. However, as if all of these were not enough to make the case for improved nutritional habits among older adults, more recent research has shown that even among the general population, African-Americans have an increased risk from this disease, as well as a higher rate of fractures and falls.
The facts that most obese people are also heavier, and that they have poorer health, is what makes it all the more tragic. It is estimated that physical exercise, as simple as walking, can help an obese individual to lose weight and keep it off by increasing metabolism-which means you will burn more calories, even while you are doing nothing.
physical inactivity is also one of the most prevalent reasons for obesity, and habits like smoking and too-Lots of salt and not enough fruits and vegetables, along with diets high in fatty foods and low in fiber can also greatly increase the risks for the diseases affecting older adults, like heart disease.

How much does the quality of food really matter? If you eat food that tastes good, your life will be better. If you eat food that tastes bad, your life will be worse. The difference between good and evil is partly subjective: what tastes good to me might taste bad to you. The difference is also partly objective: what restaurants I think serve good food might serve lousy food to you. But if we stick to objective measures — measures such as how much weight people gain or lose — we can cut through some of the subjectivity.
