Top Ten Nutrients For Healthy Ageing Podcast
In this podcast episode, I talk about the top ten nutrients I consider most important for healthy ageing.
September is Healthy Ageing Month, which makes it a good time to think about how we can support the body as we get older.
Many people are living longer than ever before, but that does not always mean they are living with good energy, mobility, mental clarity or vitality. After 60, many people also find themselves taking more prescribed medications, sometimes several each week.
This episode is about looking at what we can do to support the body naturally through nutrition and simple everyday choices.
In This Episode
I talk through the ten nutrients and foods I believe are especially important as we age, including:
- omega-3 essential fatty acids, especially EPA and DHA
- vitamin D3
- magnesium
- curcumin
- vitamin C
- zinc
- vitamin B12
- B vitamins
- CoQ10
- fibre
These nutrients can help support areas such as brain health, immune health, energy production, bone health, cardiovascular health, digestion, the gut microbiome and healthy inflammation balance.
Why Nutrients Matter as We Age
Healthy ageing is not about trying to turn back the clock.
It is about giving the body what it needs to function as well as possible for as long as possible.
Food quality, nutrient intake, digestion, absorption, sleep, movement and stress all play a part.
In the episode, I explain why omega-3 fats are always top of my list, why vitamin D3 is so important in the UK, why magnesium is one of the first minerals I think about for stress, sleep and energy, and why fibre is essential for the gut microbiome and healthy elimination.
I also talk about B12, B vitamins and CoQ10, which are all particularly important when thinking about energy, brain health and healthy ageing.
