AS we grow older, our bodies start to show signs of the abuse we have subjected ourselves to over the years. As we age, we realise that our bodies don’t respond as quickly and as efficiently. Despite the fact that we can’t stay young forever, there is no reason why we should not be able to enjoy life in our golden years.  

The sole survivor of a species of tree that flourished during the time of the dinosaurs, Ginkgo biloba, has been found useful in alleviating age-related disorders. Ginkgo’s ability to enhance blood circulation and cellular metabolism explains why taking ginkgo benefits one’s health. The decline in these two bodily functions may explain in part the physical and mental deterioration that occurs with ageing.
