GLOBAL SENIOR
The slow and inexorable increase in the number of older individuals, will have a considerable impact on healthcare services.
Those over the age of 65 currently travel more frequently and more widely than either their parents or grandparents.
Another factor contributing to the problem is the way the globe is now so closely networked that any individual or any pathogen may cross the planet within hours, as has been reported recently with H5N1, H1N1, MERS, SARS, Chikungunya, and other emerging pathogens outbreaks.
There is increased vulnerability in part, due to the decline in immune functioning in this older group.
Vaccines are often thought to be less effective in providing protection in this older section of society.
Studies from several countries have reported that the immune system declines with age indicating the global nature of this problem.
One approach has been to try to restore immunity within this population to something akin to that seen in younger individuals.
All together, these factors will contribute to shift in the pattern of common and emerging infectious diseases.
Wellpoint Nutraceuticals Imun RX and WellPoint Lifeforce are formulated to support and enhance the immune system. A strong immune system is crucial to alleviate symptoms brought on by infectious diseases and support healing.
