Back in the 1970s when I attended Saint John’s University School of Pharmacy, I was learning all about chemotherapy. I was also learning how damaging the drugs used to treat these diseases could be and how devastating cancers and other diseases were. It began to occur to me that perhaps there was a way of avoiding the disease process or at least stacking the odds against developing many of today’s more common diseases. One sure fire way of helping was good nutrition and the emerging studies on gene vs. environment support the career path I have chosen. The reason so many different plant ingredients are so healthy is not simply because they lack cholesterol or because they are rich in antioxidants; these being good enough qualities on there own to justify consumption, but because they contain phytochemicals that positively impact good health by managing the activity of your genes. Broccoli and other cabbage vegetables, green tea and the ingredients in red grapes are just some examples of foods that protect you by properly conducting the orchestra which is your genes.

As we age, the need to keep up with the constant changes in our bodies can prove to be difficult. The aging process gives way to deficiencies as our bodies become less able to process many vitamins and nutrients. For this reason, it is important to reevaluate your needs as you age. The following five supplements are what myself and numerous studies suggest for older men and women, as factors like memory, bone and joint health and maintenance, and heart health begin to take on a greater significance.
Multi Vitamins
Multi Vitamins are the basis for nutrition and are formulated to address the basic micronutrient requirements of your body through daily nutrition intake. They supply the array of B Vitamins, which is important to support good immune health, nerve function, energy production, red blood cell production and brain health. A multivitamin contains trace minerals that are also important as they offer support for recovery from illness and for thyroid function. Vitamin C and vitamin A, or natural beta carotene, in a multi vitamin may further help with immune health and in fighting off colds and other illnesses that arise during the colder months, as this combination can be very beneficial for energy; together they support the adrenal glands which are the glands that respond to stress. Vitamin D in a multi vitamin has been studied and found to be a great advocate for bone health, immune function and thyroid health, as well. A multivitamin contains zinc which helps with taste, smell and wound healing. Zinc also boosts the immune system by helping to reduce inflammation, help prevent inflammation and more. There is a very large percentage of older adults that have a zinc deficiency. This deficiency can lead to an imbalance of copper. With some cases, a good multi vitamin contains Coq10 which is important for heart health, muscle function, energy and memory. Overall, a good multi vitamin is an excellent way to supplement a diet as it contains something for almost every system. (1)
