that's very true as get older our metabolism slows down, this makes for a very sluggish and slow digestion it affects the body in various ways our colon,liver,gallbladder,pancrease and skin are effected,the american diet itself is more to blame, for more than just obesity but also for increased medical problems such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and allergies ,we've are overdosing on our fast food obsession, what we need to do is eat more healthier food, take in a little more water eat more fiber these things are somewhat absent from our diets these days, our food these days are processed in some factory, it no longer contains what our bodies need to meet our demands. exercise is also becoming a thing of the past, we can only hope that we learn to listen to our body's more, i also suffer with this problem an can very much relate to all here at this forum.
