Don't let anyone tell you that advancing years means you have lost your health.

I recently spoke to a couple in their 70s with a number of problems, including excessive tiredness. They were under care of their GP and there was no medical reason for the tiredness. It was assumed it was just their age. I spoke to them after they had been on an intensive nutritional programme for just a couple of months and they both commented how their energy and general wellbeing had improved so much. One of them had been on a medication that was known to reduce the amount of essential Co Enzyme Q10, so we added this essential energy co factor to help compensate.

They are, of course, delighted and amazed they are feeling so much better. While of course I share in their joy, this is tinged with the reality that so many people in the 50-plus age group automatically think their problems are caused solely by aging.
Surprisingly, there was nothing in this couples' programme that 'boosted” their energy. All we did was to add optimum amounts of the nutrients needed for normal healthy energy production.

The basis of their wellness programme is of course a good diet. In their case, they had a number of inflammatory problems so an anti-inflammatory diet was the starting point. To this we then added a high-grade Omega 3 supplement, alongside a broad spectrum multi-nutritional supplement that is a full multi-mineral, multi-vitamin and multi-antioxidant.

We ensured their vitamin D levels were at an optimum level, as our immune system – especially our cancer defences – cannot operate without a surplus of this essential nutrient. Given their circumstances, we then put them on a unique Co Enzyme Q10 supplement and their bodies normal healing processes did the rest.

If you are unwell, you should first go to your GP for a check up. Once you have done this, it is time to activate your body's healing processes by feeding it the nutrients needed to help reclaim your health. Do not just assume your problems are part of aging and irreversible, but work to a plan to help invigorate your healing processes and enjoy a better quality of life.
