Today I'm going to talk about what nutrients you should be careful of taking as you age,

especially over the age of 50. Then I'm going to talk about what nutrients you should probably take more of as you age. So let's first start with

what to not take. First one on the list is iron. Our bodies do not have a good way of getting rid of excess iron.

And too much iron in the body creates damage in the liver.

If you were to take iron on a regular basis, that could even increase your risk of getting an infection if your immune system is low because you're giving the pathogens plenty of food.

Also when you take more iron iron it depletes zinc. Really one of the only

remedies is just to donate blood to get rid of some of this iron. Now if someone's

female and they're menstruating they're constantly getting rid of blood every month,

but in any situation that someone's anemic, I would recommend to get your iron from like red meat,

liver, grass-fed liver pills or a spleen extract.

The next minute we're going to talk about is calcium.

Far too many people are taking too much calcium.

We develop a lot of extra calcium that builds up in the arteries

and the calcium can also build up in the kidneys as well. Just think about like people that

have high blood pressure, what do they take they take a

calcium channel blocker now the other point about calcium is that I do recommend a lot

of vitamin D because it's very very important but one of the side effects of vitamin D in higher amounts is hyper-calcemia.

What is that?

That's too much calcium in the blood.

Now I recommend taking high doses of vitamin D3 if you have autoimmune problems or you have a lot of

inflammation because we're trying to prevent too much calcium in the blood.

Next vitamin A, but I'm not talking about the natural vitamin A.
