MY TOP 3 FOR SENIORS
As we seniors age our digestive tract and other systems ages and becomes less efficient. If it were not so then we would still look like we’re 30 years old. Less efficient digestive tract means less efficient absorption of our food and more waste. More waste so that why we move our bowels more often then our younger days. Fact of life so we might want to cheat a little.
My top-3 go to list as a senior is
1) Vitamin B12 as methylcobalamin, the active form. Why?
To prevent stroke/sudden death from the build up of HCY or homocysteine. HCY is like superglue so it hardens blood vessels super fast .. then stroke, cancer or worst.
2) Magnesium as magnesium glycinate or threonate. Why? To keep our muscles relax … especially the heart, a 24/7 muscle. Essentially to prevent heart attack. Magnesium is getting lower and lower in our vegetables because of intensive farming. Like -75%
3) Omega 3 with total EPA & DHA of at least >600mg per serving. Why? To prevent dementia, memory loss, as we age. 60% of your brain fat is DHA. Supplement and also eat lots of fatty cold water fish like cod and halibut.
Above all, eat real, eat whole and eat clean. No processed and no preservatives. Avoid xenoestrogens from plastics, phalates, polyestersc etc.
