Multivitamins and Dietary Supplements
Eating healthy is important at every stage of life, but especially after the age of 40, we need to be even more careful about fighting a range of age-related illnesses or problems. This is helped by a number of dietary supplements or multivitamins as they are known in everyday language.
Vitamins, since they are not synthesized by the human body, need to be taken from the plant or animal world. 2-3 vitamins are synthesized, for example vitamin D in the presence of sunlight, or a vitamin B, but also these in very small doses and still need to be taken. For example, young children do not have some bacteria that synthesize vitamin K. They are forced to take vitamin K drops in the first days after birth. Many vitamins need to be taken externally. Our body accepts and processes better the vitamins taken from foods, more than from supplements in the form of tablets, syrups, pills. However if the food diet is such that it does not meet them, or the patient’s status is such that he suffers from a disease, has passed a certain age, the metabolism is no longer the same, then it should be taken externally by means of supplements. .
The age of 40 is a real turning point for people. So this is one of the periods where taking vitamins is highly recommended especially in women.
After menopause, women usually undergo physical changes after the age of 40. These are manifested by various diseases such as hypertension, blood problems, sleep problems, stress and need to take vitamins to better manage and manage their diet. At the same time, the bones change. More calcium is lost than is produced, so it is mandatory to take calcium from the outside.
