Senior's Health

Aging is a natural process that comes with life, however, for many, this is met with fear or frustration. But the reality is, aging doesn’t have to mean pain or weakness. By being proactive in your health you can continue to live a long healthy life whilst avoiding chronic disease and...

Adults in later life are particularly vulnerable to poor nutritional status due to the lack of variety and imbalances in the diet, reduced appetite, medications such as PPIs, and weaker digestive function. Malnutrition is fairly common with lower protein, calorie, vitamin and mineral intake.

Based on the results of a 2009 survey, 34% of Canadians aged 65 or older were at risk of nutritional deficiencies (1).

The most common nutrient deficiencies include magnesium, calcium, vitamin B12, iron, and zinc.

Many of the symptoms and imbalances that come up with old age can be traced back to poor nutrition status. These may include insomnia, poor bone health, diminished digestive function, fatigue, low immunity, and weakened hearing. This is why nutrition and lifestyle cannot be neglected and should always be the main focus. Caloric needs may decrease but nutritional needs do not.

If you are a senior there are many ways you can keep yourself healthy, strong, and flexible with the right nutrition and foundational supplements.

Curcumin

Joint pain and inflammation is a common complaint among the senior population due to increased wear and tear and decreased muscle and bone mass. This can show up as arthritis, particularly osteoarthritis which is the most common form.

Curcumin, from the spice turmeric, has powerful anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties that help support optimal neurological, cardiovascular, and joint health. It has even been shown to help relieve osteoarthritis symptoms due to its potent anti-inflammatory effects (2).

Theracurmin is the best absorbed form of curcumin available on the market, backed by 19 studies that verify its safety and efficacy.

Glucosamine & Chondroitin
Clinical studies show that supplementing with glucosamine sulfate may stimulate joint repair. Glucosamine sulfate is fully reacted and is made up of a combination of glucose, glutamine and sulfur. It is generally believed that the sulfur component makes it more useful for joint problems. Chondroitin sulfate is a naturally found in cartilage where it performs three important functions that keep cartilage healthy. This product combines the abilities of both nutrients in one supplement for nutritional supplement joint support.

Multivitamin 50+
To function at an optimal level, our bodies need a wide range of nutrients. As we age this need becomes greater because the cumulative effects of stress, pollutants and illnesses deplete and weaken our bodies and slow us down. Men and women fifty or better who want to enjoy the best possible health today and retain their youthful energy long into the future should choose superior-quality vitamins, minerals and nutrients specially formulated to suit their needs. SISU Supreme Multivitamin 50+ provides a full complex of vitamins and trace minerals plus higher levels of B12, vitamin D, magnesium, zinc, and vanadium in addition to lutein for eye health and Co Q10 to boost the energy of the muscles and the heart.

Eye Factors

Eye Factors is a combination of herbs and nutrients that have been shown to support eye health and reduce free radical damage to the eyes. Eye Factors includes the carotenoid lutein, as well as multi-anthocyanidins (a complex extract of plant flavonoids that are powerful free radical scavengers. Multianthocyanidins are standardized extracts derived from blueberry, cranberry, elderberry, grape, raspberry, strawberry, bilberry, and carrot juice powder. All the herbs and nutrients in this formula are safe, and many are powerful antioxidants that fight free radical damage, one of the main reasons our eyesight deteriorates as we age.

Omega 3
Omega 3 fatty acids are essential to be obtained through the diet or supplementation. The main sources of omega 3 fatty acids are fish and algae. These essential fats are important to regulate inflammation in the body and help support brain health and healthy aging.

A formulation high in EPA, such as Ascenta Nutrasea, can suppress inflammation and reduce muscle and joint pain, as well as benefit cardiovascular health, brain function, and joints and mobility.

Ortho Bone
AOR Ortho Bone is a multi-vitamin and mineral supplement which contains ingredients that help in the development and maintenance of healthy bones and teeth. It features calcium derived from micro-crystalline hydroxyapatite complex (MCHC), a lyophilized extract of bovine bone derived from New-Zealand pasture-fed, free-range livestock not subjected to routine antibiotics or rBGH. When combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise, Ortho Bone may reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis. Ortho Bone also provides folate and Vitamin B12 which help to form red blood cells.
