Can supplements help you live a longer, healthier life? With lifespans getting longer – what good is extended life if youâre not healthy enough to enjoy it? Hereâs how to keep your body in optimum working condition.
âWho wants to live forever?â
This phrase has stuck with me for almost 40 years now – as it always reminds me of one of my favorite movies – The Highlander.
The first film in this franchise was a MASTERPIECEâŚ
And one of the most touching scenes of the movie had a song by Queen titled âWho Wants To Live Foreverâ played over it.
If youâve ever seen it – you know what Iâm talking aboutâŚ
But as I get closer to 50 – this song and this phrase – has taken on a whole new meaning.
While my brain still feels like itâs 28âŚ
My body – after high school & college football, 15 years as a pro-wrestler and 17 years practicing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu – feels a little bit older than my age.
Not much⌠but enough.
Quest For The Fountain Of Youth
So, as I venture into the back nine of life – Iâve looked for ways to keep my body feeling at least as young as I am – if not as young as my brain feelsâŚ
So, I decided to share a few of these tidbits with my Nutrex Nuggets (you donât mind if I call you that, do you?).
Iâm not alone in my quest for the fountain of youthâŚ
Since the dawn of man – people have constantly looked for ways to stay young and healthy – but…
Can supplements help you live a longer, healthier life?
While diet and exercise are important – there are also other factors that can help improve overall health and well-beingâŚ
Which is where supplementation comes in to fill the cracks.
Can Supplements Help You Live A Longer, Healthier Life?
Letâs take a look at a few that can lengthen your time on this earth.
The first one weâll look at is creatine.
According to the International Society for Sports Nutrition – creatine supplementation is currently the most effective supplement to increase exercise capacity and lean body mass.
It has also been found to reduce muscle damage and enhance recovery after exercise.
Additionally, there is evidence that creatine supplementation can improve cognitive function – with a daily dose of five grams recommended.
Not badâŚ
Thatâll help – but what else is out there?
One of the QUICKEST ways aging sets in – or at least is most notable is our skinâŚ
Wrinkles and loose skin tends to be a give away – but there is hope.
A supplement that can improve skin health is collagen peptides.
In a 2020 analysis of 10 separate human studies – it was found that hydrolyzed collagen supplements can improve skin health, and may also benefit other organs such as blood vessels and joints.
A daily dose of between 10 and 15 grams of collagen is recommended.
Also on the aesthetics list is hyaluronic acidâŚ
This supplement that has been found to improve skin health and reduce wrinkles in a 12-week double-blind placebo-controlled study.
A daily dose of 200 milligrams of high molecular weight hyaluronic acid mixed with vitamin D is recommended.
And speaking of the big D – and donât mean âDallasâ…
The Big D
Vitamin D supplements have also been found to have numerous health benefits.
A 2017 meta-analysis published in the British Medical Journal found that vitamin D supplements can reduce the risk of acute respiratory tract infections among all peopleâŚ
A fact that would have been GREAT to know in 2020.
Vitamin D is often paired with vitamin K to improve bone strength as well…
A 2013 study found that vitamin K2 supplementation significantly improved bone mineral density – with the theory being that it helps keep calcium in the bones rather than in blood vessels.
A daily dose of 1000 units of vitamin D and 120 micrograms of vitamin K2 is recommended.
Now, I know what youâre thinkingâŚ
âShawn, those are great⌠but do you have anything thatâs got a broader range of benefits?â
Donât worry, boo⌠I got you.
Magnesium is another supplement that is lacking in the 21st Century diet – yet is used in over 300 different reactions in the body – including affecting the concentrations of vitamin D.
Magnesium supplements have been found to improve bone strength and sleep quality when itâs paired with zinc – which is crucial for immune functionâŚ
As well as keeping you protected from general sickness – as zinc supplements have been found to reduce the risk of the common cold by 32%.
A daily dose of 8 milligrams is recommended.
Not a bad list so far, right?
Some brief – but useful informationâŚ
This Is The END…
Which brings us to our LAST supplement on the list: Omegas.
Get it⌠I saved âomegaâ for last?
Greek alphabet?
SighâŚ
Anyway, omega-3 supplements have all kinds of benefits – but did you know one of the biggest is the fact that itâs been found to reduce the risk of heart attacks?
A massive study called the VITAL trial found a high reduction in the risk of heart attacks with omega-3 supplements.
A daily dose of anywhere between 500-1000 mgs is recommended.
SoâŚ
There you have it.
This article may be more for us âweathered Spartansâ – but itâs good information either way.
Now youâve got the weapons to give Father Time a run for his moneyâŚ
I say kick that old bastard in the effinâ TEETH and remind him youâre not dead yet.
Until next time, nuggetsâŚ
âAging is not âlost youthâ but a new stage of opportunity and strength.â – Betty Friedan
