Aging is a constant process, which can have little to do with chronology. The effects of age have an
impact throughout a lifetime, beginning when we are young. The detrimental results of aging can be
affected by the constant wear and tear on all the systems of the body. Many of the difficulties
experienced that are thought to be part of the normal aging process are accelerated and amplified by the
chronic stress that is part of our modern lifestyle. Stress, neuronal damage, cellular degeneration, brain
dysfunction, cardiovascular disease, and problems with mineral absorption and bone demineralization
are all significant issues associated with the aging process that are impacted by nutrition, particularly
coffee and caffeine intake.
