relaxation mineral and for good reason it plays a role in over 300 enzyatic reactions in your body
but what we care about today is how it helps your muscles relax your nerves function and your blood
vessels stay open why seniors are deficient as we age our ability to absorb magnesium from food
decreases and certain medications like diuretics blood pressure pills or acid reducers can make
things even worse plus a high salt or high sugar diet depletes your magnesium stores fast that’s
why over 60% of adults over 60 aren’t getting enough and most don’t even know it according to
the National Institutes of Health low magnesium is linked to increased muscle cramps poor sleep
fatigue and even higher fall risk leg cramps and sleep struggles magnesium might be the answer have
you ever jolted out of bed with a sharp painful leg cramp that Charlie horse feeling that makes
you want to cry yep that’s often a sign of low magnesium but the good news is this when taken
before bed magnesium not only reduces cramps it helps your whole body relax for better sleep and
overnight muscle repair what are the natural food sources of magnesium you can get magnesium from
real foods especially if you eat clean here are some of the best magnesium richch foods you should
try to add into your dinner or evening snack spinach add it to soups or sauteed dishes pumpkin
seeds great as a topping or snack dark chocolate yes a square of 85% cocoa can help almonds
and cashews snack mindfully oatmeal a perfect light evening meal for seniors pro tip combine
these with foods rich in vitamin B6 for better magnesium absorption supplement advice for seniors
if food alone isn’t enough and for many seniors it isn’t supplements are safe and effective but not
all forms of magnesium are equal here’s what to look for magnesium glyonate best for sleep and
gentle on the stomach magnesium citrate also great especially if you deal with constipation
avoid magnesium oxide poorly absorbed and can cause diarrhea a bedtime dose of 300 to 400 mg is
safe for most adults but always check with your doctor especially if you have kidney issues want
to know if you’re deficient ask your doctor for a RBC magnesium test it’s more accurate than the
standard blood test real life result testimonial story meet Gloria age 68 she used to wake up three
to four times a week with painful cramps in her calves she started taking 350 mg of magnesium
glycinate every night before bed and within 10 days the cramps were gone not only that she slept
better and had more energy in the morning let us know in the comments have you ever tried magnesium
for leg pain or sleep type yes if you felt the difference now that you know how magnesium can
relax your muscles and help you sleep like a baby get ready for something even more powerful up
next is a vitamin that doesn’t just support your bones it’s the key to leg strength fall prevention
and staying mobile well into your 70s and 80s stay tuned for vitamin number two D3 the muscle booster
vitamin number two vitamin D3 the ultimate muscle booster after 60 next up we have a powerhouse
vitamin that’s often underrated but absolutely essential after 60 vitamin D3 why vitamin D3
is crucial for your legs vitamin D3 plays a critical role in muscle strength nerve signaling
and balance if you’re over 60 and your legs feel weak or unstable chances are high you’re low on
D3 especially if you don’t get much sunlight in fact studies show that up to 80% of adults over
60 are deficient in vitamin D3 and most don’t even know it a 2020 study published in the Journal of
Gerontology found that seniors with low D3 levels had significantly weaker leg muscles and a much
higher risk of falls what are the symptoms of D3 deficiency in seniors here are some common warning
signs muscle weakness especially in the thighs and hips difficulty climbing stairs feeling fatigued
or drained trouble balancing or walking steadily aching legs or bones sound familiar these symptoms
are often misdiagnosed as just aging but they may actually be a correctable vitamin deficiency the
sunlight problem you see your skin makes vitamin D when it’s exposed to sunlight but as we age
our skin becomes less efficient at producing D3 and if you spend most of your time indoors or live
in colder cloudy regions you could be missing out completely even sunscreen which protects your
skin can block vitamin D production so if you’re relying only on sunlight for D3 after 60 chances
are you’re running low what are the vitamin D rich foods while it’s best to get your nutrients from
food D3 is one of the hardest to get naturally still here are some options to include in your
meals fatty fish like salmon sardines and mackerel cheese and egg yolks fortified milk or plant-based
alternatives mushrooms exposed to sunlight contain D2 which is less effective than D3 but here’s
the problem you’d need to eat over 10 eggs a day to get the same benefit as a simple supplement
vitamin D3 supplements what to take smart that’s why many doctors recommend vitamin D3 supplements
especially for seniors daily dose 1,000 to 2,000 IU is safe and effective for most older adults
some may need more depending on deficiency levels take with fat since D3 is fat soluble it
absorbs better with a small amount of healthy fat like avocado or olive oil best combo take it with
vitamin K2 this helps direct calcium to your bones and muscles and keeps it out of your arteries tip:
A combined supplement with D3 and K2 is a great choice for bone and muscle health after 60 how to
know if or you’re vitamin D3 deficient ask your doctor for a simple 25 hydroxy vitamin D blood
test most experts recommend keeping your levels between 40 to 60 nanograms per milliliter and yes
taking D3 before bed has additional benefits why because vitamin D helps regulate your sleepwake
cycle improves immune function while you sleep and supports overnight muscle recovery real story
senior recovery with D3 let’s talk about Henry 72 years old he was feeling weak in his legs and
started falling when walking to the mailbox his doctor tested his D3 it was dangerously low within
30 days of taking 2,000 IU daily Henry regained his balance felt stronger and hasn’t fallen since
have you ever tested your D3 levels let us know in the comments below yes or no if you found this tip
helpful give this video a big thumbs up to help others see it too so now you know that magnesium
relaxes your muscles and vitamin D3 strengthens them but what about the nerves that control your
legs that’s where our final vitamin comes in and it might just be the most important one yet stay
tuned because vitamin number three is the nerve protector that holds everything together make
sure you’ve subscribed so you never miss out on life-saving tips from Daily Guide to Health
vitamin number three vitamin B12 the nerve shield that keeps your legs alive we’ve covered magnesium
to relax your muscles and vitamin D3 to power them but here’s the missing piece if your nerves aren’t
firing correctly your legs won’t work no matter how strong the muscles are that’s why vitamin
B12 is so important especially if you’re over 60 why B12 deficiency is so dangerous for seniors
b12 is vital for the nervous system resided blood cell production and oxygen delivery to muscles all
crucial for leg strength energy and coordination but as we age our stomach produces less stomach
acid which is required to absorb B12 from food on top of that common medications like metformin or
acid reflux drugs reduce B12 absorption even more it’s estimated that 15 to 30% of seniors are B12
deficient and it’s often missed or misdiagnosed what are the symptoms of B12 deficiency do these
sound familiar if you notice any of these it might not be just old age numbness or tingling in your
feet or hands burning or electric shock sensations in your legs poor balance or coordination weakness
or heaviness in your legs fatigue or shortness of breath memory issues or confusion these are
warning signs of possible nerve damage due to low B12 and the longer you wait the harder it is to
reverse why take B12 before bed at night your body goes into repair mode taking B12 before bed gives
your nervous system the nutrients it needs to regenerate nerve linings restore oxygen flow and
support healthier muscle contractions the next day it also supports melatonin production indirectly
helping regulate your sleep cycle what are the food sources of B12 you’ll find B12 mostly in
animal products egg yolks sardines tuna salmon beef especially liver dairy products fortified
cereals great for vegetarians however most seniors can’t absorb enough from food alone due to reduced
stomach acid what are the best supplement forms of B12 here’s where it gets practical sublingual
B12 placed under the tongue absorbed directly into the bloodstream methylcobalamin best active
form for brain and nerve function cyanocobalamin cheaper form but still effective dose range 500 to
1,000 micrograms daily is safe and effective for most seniors and some people may need more based
on blood tests how to test for B12 deficiency a simple blood test can reveal your B12 levels ask
for both serum B12 and MMA methylonic acid for accurate results optimal range 500 to 1,000 pogs
per milliliter doctors often consider anything below 200 as deficient but symptoms may show up
earlier real life case Maria’s comeback maria age 74 thought her legs were giving out she had
tingling in her feet balance issues and had fallen twice in the kitchen her doctor discovered a
severe B12 deficiency within 6 weeks of daily B12 supplementation Maria was steadier on her feet had
