Happy Healthy Aging

As we age, various processes change

  • From the age of 40 our body makes less vitamin B12, vitamin B12 is very important for many processes
  • We create fewer new cells and nutrients are also decisive for the quality of cells
  • We make completely new red blood cells every 60-70 days
  • Absorbing nutrients from the intestines to the blood vessels can reduce
  • Lubrication of the joints can be reduced, often causing cartilage wear
  • During and after menopause, bone structure changes vitamin D and essential fatty acids help to counteract this
  • Many “side effects” of medications affect vitality- memory musculoskeletal system
  • Toxic substances accumulate in skeleton and fat cells (brain), detoxification becomes increasingly important
  • Oxidative stress is stressful for healthy cell growth, antioxidants neutralize these negative effects
  • The pancreas only makes a certain amount of insulin during our lifetime, which you will be judged on later in life
  • 1.5 litres of water per day can reduce joint symptoms
  • Western medicine is mainly focused on symptom control and less on prevention and maintenance
  • Today’s diet contains fewer nutrients than it used to

Prevention is better than cure

Preventive maintenance is very important for both the present and the future
