Why Elderly People Are More Vulnerable To Diseases

 

As we age so do our cells and the body organs (they do not function in the same way as they used to). The cells that have kept you active and strong in your 20s are not the same as at the age of 70s or 80s.

 

Furthermore, the immune system of the body is affected as the cells of the immune system are not functioning in the same way as they used to when you were active. In your 20s or 30s, you are more active and involved in various activities which are helpful and give a boost to your immunity and we know from research that regular exercise has a huge impact on the immune system.

 

So at that age, your immune system was more active and as you got older we don’t do the things you did during a young age so the immunity is reduced and therefore you are more susceptible to more infections.

 

Medical alert bracelets are very beneficial for Various medical conditions in elderly people and it is recommended for them to wear them 24/7. You can keep your loved ones with you instead of taking them to the retirement home.

 

You don’t have to worry about you being there with them all the time as Medical ID bracelets and some precautions can resolve all those issues.
