  • Botanicals for Frailty in Elders

Speaker: Lise Alschuler, ND Frailty, or a decline in age-specific fitness, affects some elders and is associated with poor quality of life, poorer surgical outcomes, and reduced physical and mental stamina. Frailty exists as the opposite of fitness, thus supporting fitness in elders is of key importance. While nutritional status, physical activity and mental health are key determinants of elder fitness, botanicals offer an important strategy as well. This presentation will focus on several botanicals such as Artemesia spp., Curcuma longa, Astragalus membranaceus, Cordyceps, Crataegus spp, Boswellia serrata and Withania somnifera; each of which can support fitness and reduce specific measures of frailty in elders.
