We discussed nutritional strategies for health as we age. LONGEVITY AND NUTRITION: 7-NUTRIENTS TO PAY ATTENTION TO AS YOU AGE. DR. JOE GALATI EXPLAINS… 1. Calcium Why it’s needed:  Keeps bones and teeth strong, helps muscles contract, and assists neurotransmitter release. As you age, the body leaches calcium from bones if you don't consume enough. Best Sources:  Dairy (yogurt, cheese, milk), canned salmon/sardines with bones, kale, chia seeds, and fortified plant milks. 2. Vitamin D Why it’s needed:  Promotes calcium absorption and supports immune and brain health. Seniors often spend more time indoors and their skin becomes less efficient at producing Vitamin D from sunlight. Best Sources:  Fatty fish (salmon, trout), egg yolks, and fortified foods like orange juice and cereals. 3. Vitamin B6 Why it’s needed:  Vital for metabolism and brain health. Older bodies break down B6 more quickly and absorb it less efficiently. Best Sources:  Chickpeas (one cup provides over half the daily goal), chicken breast, bananas, and potatoes. 4. Vitamin B12 Why it’s needed:  Essential for the nervous system and red blood cell production. Roughly 10-30% of seniors have trouble absorbing B12 from food, often due to lower stomach acid or medications (like Metformin). Best Sources:  Beef, seafood, and eggs. Experts recommend seniors get at least half their B12 from  fortified foods  (like nutritional yeast or cereals) because they are easier to absorb. 5. Protein Why it’s needed:  To blunt  sarcopenia (the gradual loss of muscle mass and strength). Nearly one-third of seniors do not eat enough protein. Requirements:  Aim for  0…","meta_description":"This week I had my regularly schedule phone-in with syndicated radio host Michael DelGiorno . We discussed nutritional strategies for health as we age.
