The science of gerontology has evolved as longevity has improved. Researchers in this field are diverse and are trained in areas such as physiology, social science, psychology, public health, and policy. A more complete definition of gerontology includes all of the following:
Smelly bowel movements are caused by the release of gas. when bacteria, bile or acid mixes with food. Depending on the. food you eat, and where in your digestive tract the mixing. occurs, the combinations can produce various types of gas, all. with different smells.
This is excellent for your colon even though it is smelly. Extra iron in your diet or dark green vegetables (spinach, kale) will cause black or dark bowel movements. Constipation --- indicated by straining without successful or. minimally successful voiding --- often increases as we age for a. number of reasons.
