Do You Need to Take Anti-Aging Supplements?
You will read in the media that nutritional supplements cause deaths, breast cancer, expensive urine and we don't need to take them.
I suggest that you do make sure that your beliefs are based on reliable sources and not just the latest headline.
It is important not to take the media reports at face value - they are there to sell bad news.
For instance, does the latest research define what supplements were taken in what doses, for how long, what was the strength, what was the bio-availability and what was the quality? Were the supplements from a natural source or were they artificial (a factor in the case of Vitamin E for instance)? What other factors were involved e.
g.
the health of the subjects before the study? Sometimes the answers to these types of questions are difficult to find.
My belief is based on my experience, the many books about nutrition that I have read, and the doctors and scientists I have listened to.
My parents had a healthy lifestyle.
Unfortunately my Dad did smoke cigarettes but stopped when I was born.
They lived in Australia which is conducive to growing your own fruit and vegetables in the back garden.
So they ate organically from their garden (my Mum was such a great cook that my Dad preferred eating meals at home), they had moderate exercise (swimming and walking) and had a mostly stress-free life.
But that didn't stop them suffering from arthritis, heart disease and in my father's case - prostate cancer.
My mother suffered from high blood pressure for many years and was on expensive BP medication.
My mother died at the age of 71 from a heart attack and my dad died at 77 from the prostate cancer.
Sadly, they have missed out on seeing their grandchildren reach adulthood.
As far as my beliefs are concerned, I now know that eating healthfully isn't enough.
Many doctors do not encourage their patients to take supplements because they only know about over-the-counter (OTC) ones.
Most of the OTC supplements are made to food grade standards and only come up to Recommended Daily Allowance doses - which is just not good enough.
What we need to look for, are advanced quality, GMP standard, optimal dosage supplements.
Also, once-a-day tablets are a waste of money.
Taking advanced quality, balanced, broad-spectrum, bio-available, comprehensive, high-potency nutritional supplements supports anti-aging, heart health, joint and cartilage health, brain health, bone health, liver health, eye health, oral health, mental health, maintenance of muscle strength, supports a robust and healthy immune system, supports optimal stamina, helps the body to cope with stress - as well as offering complete antioxidant protection against oxidative stress caused by free radical damage.
Until I was 48, I did not give much thought to having a healthy lifestyle.
Yes, I exercised and I ate (and still do) the organic vegetables that my husband enjoys growing in our back garden.
But I was lacking in energy.
I put that down to getting older.
It wasn't until I started taking supplements that my energy levels revived and I felt more vibrant.
I have been taking advanced quality nutritional supplements every day, twice a day since the year 2000 and I plan to take them for the rest of my life.
My BP is normal and I don't have the arthritis that my parents suffered.
And not only that, I don't feel old! So something is making a difference.
