Any vitamin gurus out there? As a male in his late forties, what |
|
vitamins should I be taking on a regular basis? I exercise regularly, including moderate weightlifting. Don't know if this means anything, but my father has macular degeneration and I have heard that taking zinc might help to prevent that. Right now, I don't take any thing.
Sooooo, what do you recommend?

and have been taking a basic multivitamin for nearly 20 years. I had been taking an additional vitamin E supplement, but stopped about a year ago, as its efficacy has become more doubtful. More importantly, I try to eat reasonably well: meatwise just poultry & fish (might eventually go veggie), legumes, whole grains, fruit, veggies, nuts, dairy. I do have a sweet tooth, though (esp. for chocolate).
For the last couple of years I've been drinking 2-3 cups of green & black tea per day. These supposedly pack a far greater antioxidant punch than vitamins.

5. please read "Nature's First Law." |

It tells the truth about our failed medical profession and the lies of the food industries about nutrition. We are a sick and diseased nation because we will not respect the laws of nature about nutrition. You do not need to add synthetic pills of concentrated minerals to you body.
