8. Supplement Your Body With Supplements

While all health professionals will always encourage you to get the nutrients you need from your food after you pass the age of 50, your body does require more vitamins and minerals than it did before reaching half a century. And because no doctor is going to encourage you to binge eat, adding supplements is perfectly fine.

The recommended supplements are calcium for stronger bones. Although we recommend taking a 30 minute walk every day, you still might not be getting enough Vitamin D for the sunshine. As you age, your body finds it harder to absorb vitamin B12 from your foods, so you could add that supplement. And finally, to keep your red blood cells strong to carry oxygen throughout your body, adding vitamin B6 could be helpful.

If you do take supplements, when you at making your regular visits to the doctor, always tell them what you are taking so they don’t react badly with any medications or treatments they might give you.
