Are Vitamin Supplements Necessary For Optimum Health?
I just turned 60 last month and i have been taking vitamin suppliments for at least 30 years and now doctors are saying its not necessary for optimum health. Is it true? If vitamins are necessary what are the most important suppliments for a man of my age.
Hello, Welcome to Healthcare Magic. If your stomach is normal and digestion is proper then take proper diet. take mix diet more means veg and non veg both to complete your vitamin deficiencies at old age. Some vitamins and mineral deficiencies occur due to old age and absorption problems. But if you are taking healthy diet with good digestion and absorption power then no need to take any vitamin supplements. Bu if any congenital deficiency diagnosed by your doctor then continue some supplements as described or stop as advised by your doctor. Take proper rest. Take plenty of fluids. Do regular yoga and exercise. Hope you will have a good time ahead. Thanks for contacting us. Take care...
