50 years ago, most people in the world died before reaching the age of 50. In other words, If it were not for medical advances in the war on aging, if you are near 50 you would have been ready to start considering your final arrangements now.
However, thanks to Life Extension Scientists continuously working to extend human life span, today many people are not yet middle aged at 50.
Some of that is due to immunizations some to healthier lifestyles and better nutrition and supplements, says the World Health Organization.
Few people realize how hard it is to get adequate levels of essential nutrients from even a good diet. This is especially true for people taking certain medications. Estrogen (found in birth control pills and replacement therapy such as Premarin) may deplete vitamin B-6, folic acid and vitamin E.
People at risk of heart disease also may benefit from vitamins. The antioxidant action of vitamin E may help keep bad LDL cholesterol from damaging coronary arteries.
Another villain in heart disease is homocysteine, an amino acid that is a by-product of meat or fish digestion. People with low levels of the nutrients folic acid and vitamin B-6 have more homocysteine in their blood-stream. Some researchers now believe these vitamins may help protect against Atherosclerosis.
People taking blood pressure pills such as Dyazide (triamterene and hydrochlorothiazide) also may be low in folic acid. Stomach medicines including Prilosec, Prevacid, Zantac, Tagamet and Pepcid may reduce acid enough to interfere with absorption of vitamin B-12. The nervous system could suffer as a result.
