Nutritional notes

  • ¨ The older we become, the more we should take a good multi-vitamin/mineral supplement (our bodies just need the extra help as we get older), but remember that just because you are taking supplements doesn’t mean you shouldn’t eat healthy.
  • ¨ If you have lots of joint pain (arthritis, stiffness, disc problems, and/or back pain) you would most likely benefit from taking supplements such as glucosamine with chondroitin, Vitamins A, D, and E, and Omega 3, 6, and 9. 
  • ¨ If you have nerve problems such as sciatica, radiculopathies (numbness, tingling), headaches,  and/or high stress you would probably benefit from taking supplements with Vitamins B Complex and Vitamin C, and Omega 3, 6, 9.
  • ¨ To improve your immunity you should take Vitamins A , C,  and B Complex. 

 Don’t hesitate to ask Dr. Zager about nutrition the next time you are in the office and her recommendations for good quality vitamins and supplements.
