Normally, our bodies have finely tuned systems that detect when we eat and use these nutrients efficiently for energy and repair. However, with age, these systems start to malfunction. This means our body might not handle sugars well, leading to conditions like diabetes, or it might struggle with managing fats, leading to issues like high cholesterol. Essentially, Deregulated Nutrient Sensing is when our body's 'nutrient management system' becomes less efficient and accurate with age, leading to various metabolic and health problems. | ||
