Episode 2716: Aging comes with unique nutritional challenges, especially for plant-based eaters like Debra and her husband. As nutrient absorption declines, it becomes essential to prioritize protein sources and monitor levels of key nutrients such as calcium, vitamin D, and B12. Supplementing may be necessary, but always consult a doctor and choose high-quality, certified supplements. Quotes to ponder: "Calcium and vitamin D work together to protect the health of our bones. But beyond that, vitamin D may help the immune system work at its best." "Strict vegetarians and vegans are more likely to experience a vitamin B12 deficiency. This is because animal products are the best sources of vitamin B12." "Supplements are not as well-regulated as our food and water supply. We want to make sure that what we’re buying meets purity and quality standards."
