In part 1 my friend had me on the ropes or so he thought.

I asked, “What did you have for breakfast this morning?” His response came slowly . . . “The usual, a double mocha latte. He quickly added, ” I needed a pick-me-up,  but I was in a hurry.”

.

Ummm . . . Scrumptious!

.

I said, ” So you let ‘if and but’ get in the way of your body receiving proper nutrition. You start your conversation off with ‘If I eat a balanced meal’ and ended with, “but I was in a hurry.”

I continued. “How many fish did you catch before breakfast? Did you tend your garden this morning?

Was that a “trap door closing” look on his face.

Tasting victory, I asked, “So that’s one meal missed. What do you do now, eat twice as much of the right food groups for lunch? You and I both know that’s not gonna happen.” He chuckled. I had him.

“Dude,” I said, “I was in a hurry as well, but I take one minute to sip an ounce of liquid multivitamin everyday and my body receives all of the essential nutrients it needs for that day. Takes less than a minute. It’s almost too easy.”

.

.

“Yeah, but your vitamin would cost me money every day!”

“Well you said you ordered the ‘usual.’ What did that double mocha latte with a twist of whatever cost you? And not only in dollars and cents. What’s all that sugar doing to your system on a daily basis? Should I go on? I’ll choose the liquid vitamin every time.”

Clang! Went the trap door.

.

Consider My Case Rested

We all could go without supplements if the foods we ate were whole, packed with nutrition, inexpensive, plentiful, easy to prepare and convenient.

But instead, the foods we consume are processed, fortified and sprayed with colorization. (why do you think that apple is so red?)

.

Back to the study

After eight weeks the participants in the study had their nutrient levels examined.

The participants who were given the multivitamin and not the placebo, including those who had indicated they were already eating folic fortified food, had much higher levels of many of our body’s  essential nutrients.

.

So What’s My Conclusion?

For us baby boomers, even if we strive to eat the best foods, the use of a daily multivitamin can only help us maintain optimal nutritional levels.

I’ve been taking a multivitamin daily for about two years now. Maybe it’s the vitamin or maybe it’s the fact that I feel pretty good all the time that people notice my energy level remains high.

I’m telling you, life is good if we let it be. If we feel good, it shows. People notice the difference. If our bodies receive the essential nutrients every day, we probably feel good.

.

.

As an Analogy:

Why is the term “ran out of gas” applied to so many different situations where people come up short? Because everybody knows what that means. A marathoner runs 24.5 miles in a few hours and drops to the ground less than half a mile from the finish line. Why? He ran out of (essential nutrients) gas.

Why do some people need “pick me ups” in the middle of their work-day? Chocolate bar, energy drink of choice; Their body “ran out of gas.” They lacked proper nutrient levels.

.

.

We Boomers  Need to “Get Back to Zero.”

That’s my reference  to taking the right multivitamin and mineral supplement that will shore up our systems.

It’s simple. Our bodies need a finite amount of essential nutrients daily (like a car needs gas) to perform at optimal levels. Our daily activities drain what nutrients we have stored up.

With the foods we eat lacking in proper nutrition, we start off below zero and work our way down.

.

In conclusion

I say, “take a sip of a good multivitamin every day, and get yourself back to zero.”

Hey Boomers! We’re now considered “older.” Can you believe it? Seems like just yesterday we were . . . 20, 30, 40, or was it 50? Hmmm, memory fades with age.

.

But That Was Then

Today I’m writing about nutritional needs for our ageing bodies. Younger generations could benefit from this information too. After all if you start young and maintain a healthy regimen, good habits alone will carry you for decades.

So check this out. There was a clinical study recently that observed Baby Boomers and older adults who had been given either a multivitamin or a placebo, daily, for a total of eight weeks.

.

Will the Real Multi-Vitamin Please Stand Up . . .

.

The study was geared to determine the effects of multivitamins on the nutritional status of older adults. Baby Boomers come to mind, because I am one.

Many boomers feel that if we “eat right” we don’t really need to add the expense of a multivitamin or mineral to our diets. Been there, heard that.

.

An Apple a Day

I had the “Apple a Day . . .” debate with my very good, very skeptical friend last week. We debate a lot.

He has issues with network marketing companies, so every chance he gets he will corner me about my products.

During our conversation he mentioned several times how he felt too exhausted after work to study for exams, etc.

.

.

Usually when I hear certain words it triggers memories, so when he said the word exhausted, I thought of the benefits of the multivitamin that I market and sell. Naturally I mentioned it.

It’s like he was baiting the trap for me to mention my product.

.

He Leaped

His premise was, “That’s what I’m talking about. I knew you were going to bring up your vitamin, but it’s like this. If at every meal, I eat a balanced diet of fruits, grains, vegetables, lean beef, and fish etc., I don’t need to spend my hard earned cash on your vitamin. I can grow my own vegetables, catch the fish myself, and so on.” His conversation was peppered with statistics and words like essential nutrients, folic acid, etc.

.

.

He then leaned back in his chair, assured of a verbal victory. I was grinning, because he was absolutely right! It’s possible to eat the correct amount of nutritional sustenance, but man!, is it time consuming. And secondly, yes, I did bring up my vitamin.

What is Diabetes, or . . . “The Sugar?”

• Diabetes, a leading cause of death and disability in the United States, is a group of diseases that won’t allow our bodies to properly convert food into energy.

• This conversion process, that our bodies won’t allow, is known as metabolism.

• One sugar energy source, blood glucose, is produced during metabolism.

• The level of blood glucose (sugar) in our blood is regulated by Insulin, a hormone produced in the pancreas.

Diabetes is distinguished by high levels of blood glucose (sugar) in our system, resulting from our body’s defective insulin production, action, or both.

Types of Diabetes

• Type 1 Diabetes; formerly Juvenile Onset Diabetes, accounts for 5-10% of all diagnosed cases of diabetes and results when the body’s immune system attacks and destroys its insulin-producing cells in the pancreas.

• Type 2 Diabetes; formerly Adult-Onset Diabetes accounts for 90-95% of all diagnosed cases of diabetes and occurs when the body does not make enough insulin or cannot effectively use the insulin it makes.

In the not-too-distant past, Type 2 Diabetes was normally discovered in adults over 40 years of age. Lately it has become prevalent in younger generations, including adolescents.

• Gestational Diabetes; occurs in women only during pregnancy

The cause of each type of diabetes is different, but the common thread is high levels of glucose (sugar) in the blood.

Baby Boomers, when it comes to our health, some of us are suffering from an inflated ego.

If you have reached the qualifying age, I strongly recommend you a sign up for an AARP™ membership.

AARP sent applications for about five years before I was eligible and I took it as an insult. I remember thinking, “I’m not THAT old!” You know … the Boomer thing; 50 being the new 30, and so on.

One friend (you know who you are Coop) still refuses to join and he is 69 years old now. In his mind, he’s STILL not THAT old.

I strongly recommend we shelve our ego and sign up for  the membership. I’ve learned a lot from AARP and thoroughly support the cause.

For instance, the winter issue of ‘Strive For Healthy Living’ mentions that:

• March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month
• April is Foot Health Awareness Month
• May is National Arthritis Month

I for one had no clue until I read the articles. My next article will be an in-depth report on Colorectal Cancer, or Colon Cancer for short.

So, if you have not already looked into the benefits of joining AARP, give it a good going over. I think you’ll like what you see. It provides the best value for $12.50 that I’ve ever invested in.

Hope this information helps. If it does pass it on to someone you care about who could use it.

Till Next Time, To Your Good Health and Success … Live Well,

CK Dillon
