Vitamin C for Longevity

If you intend to live your life with the philosophy of thirtysomething forever, then the work of Dr. James Enstrom from the School of Public Health, University of California, Los Angeles is important. Dr. Enstrom and co-investigators examined the relation between vitamin C intake and mortality among some 11,348 U.S. adults age 25 to 74 years whose health was followed for about 10 years per person. Among persons with the highest vitamin C intake, men had a 35 percent reduced mortality for all causes, 22 percent for all cancers, and a 42 percent reduction for all cardiovascular diseases. Women also enjoyed lower death rates with higher vitamin C intake. The relation with all causes of death among males remained even after adjustment for age, sex, and other variables (including cigarette smoking, education, race, and disease history). In other words, Dr. Enstrom convincingly demonstrated persons with the highest levels of vitamin C lived the longest. If you haven't heard it before, you will soon see lots of other studies that will repeat this message. Vitamin C is vital to your health and longevity program.

Vitamin E Helps to Reduce Stroke Risk

Thickening of the walls of the carotid arteries, the neck arteries that carry blood to the brain, is often used as an indicator of one's stroke risk. In a study from the University of Tennessee in Memphis, vitamin E emerged as the strongest nutritional factor in stroke prevention. The study involved more than 10,000 men and women, ages 45 to 65, from four counties in Maryland, North Carolina, Mississippi, and Minnesota. Among people over 55, those with the highest dietary intake of vitamin E also had the least thickening of the carotid arteries.

Health Insurance in a Bottle

It took the boomer generation, which promises to be the longest-lived in the history of humankind, a long time to establish itself on the American scene.

One of the smartest things that we can do is to take a little health insurance everyday in the form of a multiple vitamin and mineral supplement. That alone is important. But getting the most out of our commitment to a daily multiple vitamin and mineral formula-this is where the Whitewing Labs' Vitamin & Mineral System is important.
