The Vitamin D and Magnesium Link

Today is all about Vitamin D and Magnesium…what they are, how they work together and why we need them as we get older. A big thank you to Robyn Franceen Evans who suggested this very important topic! Vitamin D and magnesium are both ESSENTIAL nutrients which means our bodies need them to function properly. And, since our bodies cannot make them on their own, they must be gotten from other means.  Something to note is that as we age, we need to make more of an effort to ensure that we will get the needed requirements of both vitamin D and magnesium. Tune in to find out more and how the two are linked.  I invite you to join us over in the Aging with Vitality Facebook Group, just click on the link below: → Aging with Vitality Facebook Group [https://www.facebook.com/groups/agingwithvitality] If you have any questions or comments, please send them to AnitaDuwel@live.com.

Food Tips for Memory Loss due to Menopause and/or Aging

Today we are going to look at the types of foods that can help us improve memory loss associated with menopause and/or aging. Thank you to Kim Porter who suggested this topic ... not only is it a great topic but it impacts so many women. Poor memory, having difficulty concentrating, and being forgetful is something that approximately 60% of women will experience during perimenopause and menopause. In addition to menopause, as we get older, naturally our brain gets older as well which affects us both physically and mentally. So, what happens during menopause and aging that affects your memory, focus, attention, etc and how can food be your friend?   Tune in and find out the answer to that question 😊 Links referred to or that may be of interest: * Quality Green Supplement [https://anitaduwel.isagenix.com/en-ca/shop/daily-nutrition/greens?pid=11cd8643c69442498916fe43c17489b3] * FREE Anti-Inflammatory Food Guide [https://anitaduwel.com/anti-inflammatory-guide/] * Healthy Eating & Active Living Program [https://anitaduwel.com/healforall/] If you have any questions or comments, please send them to AnitaDuwel@live.com.
