Maintaining health is an important necessity with age, especially as aging factors may be dangerous and life-threatening, and supplements play an important role in promoting health.
Speaking to Express, David Weiner, a freeletic training specialist who is an artificial intelligence-powered fitness app, says that there are 4 essential nutritional supplements that men should take, as they age, explaining their importance as follows:
– magnesium
“Magnesium is an important mineral to include in your diet, because it is required for a number of biochemical processes in your body, such as energy production, blood pressure, and bone development,” said Wiener.
He explained that magnesium is also used to transport calcium and potassium between cell membranes, which is an integral part of the healthy functioning of the nerve and heart muscles.
A review of 22 studies found that supplementing with an average of 410 mg of magnesium per day was associated with a decrease of 3 to 4 mm Hg in systolic blood pressure, and a decrease of 2 to 3 mm Hg in diastolic blood pressure.
Systolic and diastolic blood pressure is used to record blood pressure
According to Blood Pressure UK, low systolic pressure is especially important because it indicates the risk of a heart attack.
– Omega 3
Weiner said: “Omega-3 fatty acid is found in fish oil and is known to be beneficial in heart and brain health. However, omega-3 also supports eyes, joints, bones and skin, as well as helping you sleep better and obtain mood-enhancing effects.
Among its many benefits, research says, is its proven ability to improve conditions associated with metabolic syndrome.
It also reveals that omega-3 fatty acids can improve insulin resistance, infections and risk factors for heart disease in people with metabolic syndrome.
– Saw Palmetto
It is a natural source of fatty acids and has a number of benefits for men, such as hair loss, according to Wiener.
In one study, the researchers gave 10 males with an introduction to the pattern of baldness, a supplement containing both Saw Palmetto and beta sitosterol. They observed a clear improvement in 6 out of 10 males.
– Vitamin D)
Wiener explained that vitamin D is necessary for effective calcium absorption. “It also supports the body’s immune system and regulates cell growth,” he said.
Scientific evidence shows the role that vitamin D plays in strengthening the immune system.
A number of studies have found that taking a vitamin D supplement at a medically prescribed dose daily may reduce the risk of respiratory infections.
In one study of people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, those with severe vitamin D deficiency achieved significant benefit after taking a high-dose supplement for one year.
Weiner also adds that full nutrition is important at any age, and this includes eating a diet that focuses on healthy foods, exercising, and taking any supplement to fill nutritional gaps.
