New from the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition: Vitamins Alter Aging

I was just reading this in 'Total Health Breakthroughs':

"The next time you hear some nay-saying doctor claiming that there is no evidence that vitamins actually do anything, show him this:

A new study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that multivitamins can keep you younger, longer. The study found that those who took a multivitamin daily had 5.1 percent longer telomeres than those who didn't.

Telomeres are the key to aging. And it's not just your lifespan that's affected... Short telomeres dramatically boost your risk of serious diseases. One study of 60- to 75-year-olds showed that those with short telomeres had a 300% higher death rate from heart disease and an 800% higher death rate from infectious diseases."

So here is one more reason to just go ahead and do this one simple thing: take that vitamin every morning!
If we do something just for ourselves, even a little thing like that, we feel better already anyway. And even if we eat junk sometimes, I'm sure junk with all the necessary vitamins and nutrients combined is better than junk alone!

It doesn't have to break the budget, either. You can get all the best brand name products or just a simple all natural Multi Vitamin for less than supermarket prices here. All Natural -NOT synthetic - is the key. Afterall our bodies are  natural , for the most parts, anyway :)  They are much more likely to know what to do with Natural Supplements than with 'plastic', don't you think?
