After going through the nutrition and old age topic, I would like to give my view on
this matter. At an old age, people will not have enough energy, which can lead to several serious
problems. This is generally due to the lack of nutrition and food. After the age of 65, most people
reduce their diet, which can lead to various chronic diseases. The function of the body parts will
slowly decrease and the mass of the body will reduce. There will be physical changes at old age,
such as Visual function deteriorates in which the people cannot be able to see the long distance.
Heart and kidney function becomes less effective. Sometimes the old people will also face the
problems relating to the hearing, taste, and smell. Old age people will also have the poor immune
system it is due to not having proper nutrition. It is certain that when people grow old then they
are more likely to have psychological problems. Some people will also face the problem of
ageing anorexia, in which they are mentally disturbed about their age, as they do not want to get
old. The major problem faced by the old age group is to change the eating habits, as the digestive
system will also get weak at this age. Reviewing this topic, I came to know the nutritional
requirements for the old age people. They need a variety of nutrients as the physical changes of
the body undergo after the age of 50. It is very difficult to maintain physical health thus it takes
many recommendations and nutrients to stay fit like younger people. After the age of 65, it is
essential to boost the intake of daily protein and the requirements of the vitamin are necessary
after the age of 55. To verify and identify the nutrition of the old age, a new nutrition screening
initiative was developed to check certain nutritional risks. After ageing, several diseases can
develop such as Osteoporosis, Arthritis, Hypertension, Heart disease and Diabetes.

A drug is any substance that is taken to change the functions of the body either physically
and psychologically. It may be legal or illegal. It is also defined as any chemical which is used to
prevent or treat disease. There are various stages of drug action; it is the Pharmaceutical stage,
Pharmacokinetic stage, and Pharmacodynamic stage. The drug-nutrient interaction is the result
of taking the drugs and nutrients together. This interaction also affects the medication of the
people. There are several situations in which the interaction between the drug and nutrients takes
place. The risk which can occur by consuming the drugs and nutrients together are the multiple
medications, eating disorder, alcoholism, and addiction to drugs. This can be harmful to the

human body and can cause several other diseases. People with an addiction to drugs have to face
health issues, and they will be psychologically disturbed. Absorption of the drug and nutrients
together can decrease the appetite and it also increases the habits of consuming drugs. It can
cause alters gastric acidity as consumption of drug-nutrient can affect the digestive system. It
increases the urinary loss of nutrients and the intake of low sodium causes the kidney to retain
lithium. Consumption of drugs causes induce nausea and make their body lethargic if they do not
consume regularly.

By studying the following topic, I have come to know that water is a very important
chemical that is required in the human body. It helps the body in the biochemical reactions that
keep the organs running efficiently. It is very important as it delivers the necessary nutrients to
form the tissues. It is very important to maintain body temperature and also maintains blood
pressure and helps tissue perfusion.
I have come to learn that there are two forms of hydration that is hypohydration and
hyperhydration. The body should be in the state of hydration to become normal. Hypohydration
can cause the disorder in the clinically and physiological order. Hypohydration can cause an
increase in GI distress, heart rate and glycogen, which can cause the death of the victim.
Hyperhydration will also cause disorder in the clinically and physiological order but this is rare.
It will cause the victim a low plasma electrolyte and can create confusion and delirium, which
will ultimately lead to death.
I also have come to know about the different types of changes that can happen in the
body in case of water loss. Change in the visual, change in body mass, the concentration of
plasma components, urine production and colour, salivary flow rate and thirst rate are the
changes that can be seen in the person suffering from dehydration.
This topic also shows how the body maintains water balance in the body during exercise.
By producing water metabolic and producing sweat to balance electrolyte. Blood flow decrease
to kidneys decreases to avoid dehydration. So there it is important to replace the fluid lost during
any exercise. By drinking water frequently but should not exceed the limit, which can cause
confusion, disorientation, and seizures. Alcohol must be avoided during the hydration and
