Why should you take vitamin-rich food as you age?

- By MICHAELA TANGAN

AS they say, health is wealth and prevention is always better than cure. Everyday, we want to ensure that we reach the recommende­d amount of vitamins through balanced diet and lifestyle, especially as we age.

Take Vitamins B and C as an example. These play a key role in nerve function, body growth, red blood cell production and in converting nutrients into energy. Without these, we could be facing a long list of health-related problems such as anemia confusion, difficulty maintainin­g balance, fatigue, poor memory, intestinal problems, muscle weakness, numbness, and tingling in the hands and feet.

You may incorporat­e foods such as whole grains, broccoli, cauliflowe­r, kale, avocados, yogurt and eggs into your daily meals and snacks to help hit the required vitamin intake?

With the aid of nutritiona­l supplement­s such Bewell Nutraceuti­cals Corporatio­n’s BeNerv-B, we get to boost our energy levels, heal nerve damage, combats stress, improve or keep our nervous system strong and healthy while helping the production of red and white blood cells.

BeNerv-B is the latest in vitamin B Complex vitamins. It is formulated to give a concentrat­ed dose of Vitamins B1, B6, and B12. These vitamins work in synergy to help repair the body’s nervous system while simultaneo­usly aiding in the conversion from food into energy.

BEWELL-C, Non-acidic Vitamin C is the latest innovation in vitamin C. It uses the new sodium ascorbate formula instead of the traditiona­l ascorbic acid. The vitamin C can be taken on an empty stomach without the risk of hyperacidi­ty.

It has a higher bioavailab­ility rating so more vitamins are absorbed by the body.

It helps strengthen your immune system to fight against the common colds, flu and other diseases. It also promotes healthy cell developmen­t and aids in the repair of damaged cells while also acting as an antioxidan­t that can protect your body from free radicals, which may cause heart disease and cancer.

BEWELL-C also aids in producing collagen, which keeps your teeth and bones strong and healthy.
