As we age, movement can get tougher with each year. Our flexibility diminishes and once that starts going, it seems that other things follow. We don’t feel like moving at all, not to mention exercise. Of course what we eat is crucial to maintaining not only our overall health, but in slowing down the aging process and helping our body to do what it was meant to do instead of popping a pill, repair itself from the damage that we and our environment inflict on it daily. If we eat the proper things and in the right combinations, and in an ideal world we would eat organically grown food from rich soil, then there would be no need to supplement. Supplementation should come as a last resort if you can not get enough of the nutrition that your body needs.
