3. Slower Digestion and Nutrient Absorption
Digestive efficiency naturally declines as stomach acid production decreases and intestinal movement slows. This can affect how well the body absorbs essential nutrients such as vitamin B12, iron, and calcium.
What you may notice:
Feeling full sooner, occasional constipation, or unexplained fatigue linked to nutrient gaps.
Helpful habits:
Choose smaller, nutrient-dense meals throughout the day instead of large portions. Prioritize fiber-rich foods and maintain consistent hydration.
