“Take 6” to Live LONGER and BETTER
None of us can escape aging.
But everyone wants to live LONGER, right?
Well, the reality is quantity and quality of life are two entirely different things.
If you’re riddled with devastating health problems that steal the joy from your days, living a long time can be torture.
But when health and longevity go hand-in-hand, you have the best of both worlds.
So, if you’re anything like me, your goal is to live longer and healthier.
Today, I’ll share six nutrients with you that are scientifically proven to help you do precisely that.
We all understand chronological age. It’s a straight measurement of years lived.
However, in recent years, another measurement has gained traction in the scientific and medical worlds: biological age. It’s a way to measure age that gauges how healthy your body is and indicates how old your CELLS are.
A younger biological age means you’re living the “healthier” part of the equation.
So, with that in mind, my “Take 6” solution combines six of the top nutrients to reverse the clock on your biological age…
- Vitamin D does more than strengthen bones. Studies show maintaining ideal vitamin D levels can help you live LONGER and BETTER by reducing the risk of deadly conditions like heart disease, cancer, and cognitive decline. Good sources are sunlight, fatty fish, eggs, and beef liver.
- Vitamin C is an antioxidant powerhouse that combats the cellular damage that ages you inside and out. C supports healthier skin while fighting the free radicals that cause disease and aging. Good sources are bell peppers, tomatoes, berries, and citrus fruits.
- Vitamin E is another critical antioxidant that protects against oxidative stress and inflammation. By doing so, E has wide-reaching, age-fighting benefits, from wound healing to eye protection to heart health. Good sources are nuts, seeds, broccoli, and spinach.
- Vitamin K keeps bones strong and blood flowing smoothly. You can’t live a long, healthy life if either factor fails. Good sources are broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and green leafy vegetables.
- Vitamin B12 helps form red blood cells and is essential for DNA formation. Because of its vital role in nerve health and avoiding anemia, B12 is critical for maintaining strength, vitality, and longevity. Good sources are red meat, fish, liver, and eggs.
- Magnesium is critical for nerve function, muscle relaxation, and energy production. It reduces the risk of hypertension and helps prevent osteoporosis. A strong heart and bones are the foundation for healthy longevity. Whole grains, nuts, seeds, leafy greens, and avocados are good sources.
Of course, this isn’t an exhaustive list by any means.
But it’s a fantastic place to start if you want to age well. And if you’re loading up on foods that contain these essential nutrients, you can bet you’ll ALSO be getting plenty of other important ones in the process.
Those are the kind of side effects I can get behind!
