Zinc<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Magnesium\"><\/span>1. Magnesium<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Magnesium keeps your muscles strong, supports heart health, and helps with blood sugar levels. Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum explains that magnesium is involved in over 300 body functions. A lack of magnesium can lead to a higher risk of serious conditions like heart attacks, strokes, or even dementia. To get more of this vitamin,<strong> eat plenty of leafy greens, nuts, seeds, and whole grains<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_B_vitamins\"><\/span>2. B vitamins<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>B vitamins, especially B12 and folate, are essential to keep your body running smoothly. Experts highlight that low B12 levels can lead to weakness, numbness, and even appetite loss. Low B vitamin levels can also put you at a higher risk for dementia and heart disease. To get enough B12, <strong>focus on animal-based proteins like meat, fish, and <a href=\"https:\/\/okdiario.com\/metabolic\/en\/nutrition\/diets\/hard-boiled-egg-diet-what-is-it-and-menu-to-lose-6-6-lbs-in-5-days-1129\/\">eggs<\/a><\/strong>. If you\u2019re vegetarian or vegan, look for fortified cereals or nutritional yeast.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Calcium\"><\/span>3. Calcium<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This mineral is essential for older people, as not only helps with bones but ensures your muscles function well. Without enough calcium, you\u2019re at a higher risk of osteoporosis and fractures. Dairy products like <strong>milk, yogurt, and cheese<\/strong> are rich in calcium, but you can also find it in <strong>kale, almonds, and tofu<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Vitamin_D\"><\/span>4. Vitamin D<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium, which makes it vital for bone health. Dr. Brukner says you can boost your vitamin D levels with foods like <strong>salmon, fortified milk, and cereals<\/strong>. Vitamin D also supports your immune system and may reduce the risk of autoimmune diseases and infections. If you\u2019re at risk of osteoporosis or have low bone density, your doctor might suggest a vitamin D supplement.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Omega-3_fatty_acids\"><\/span>5. Omega-3 fatty acids<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>These healthy fats are known for their anti-inflammatory properties, which can help protect your heart and may even reduce the risk of Alzheimer&#8217;s. Since your body doesn&#8217;t make enough omega-3s, you need to get them from food or supplements. You\u2019ll find the best sources to be <strong>fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, and sardines<\/strong>. If you don\u2019t eat much fish, consider fish oil or algae-based supplements to fill the gap.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Zinc\"><\/span>6. Zinc<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A 2015 study linked zinc deficiency to age-related diseases and a weakened immune response. According to Dr. Brukner, not getting enough zinc can leave your immune system struggling. <strong>Oysters are a top source of zinc<\/strong>, but it\u2019s also in<strong> red meat, poultry, and beans<\/strong>. If you often get sick or don\u2019t eat enough zinc-rich foods, a supplement might help.<\/p>\n<p>Healthy aging starts with a balanced diet and getting the right vitamins and minerals can support your bones, brain, and immune system. Experts recommend including <strong>magnesium, B vitamins, calcium, vitamin D, omega-3s, and zinc<\/strong> as part of your daily meals to foster healthy aging. Always make sure to talk to your doctor before getting any new supplements, especially if you\u2019re on medication.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As we get older, eating well and getting the right nutrients can make a big difference in keeping our bones strong, our immune systems in check, and our hearts healthy.
