Aging is a common process, which every person experiences from his or her birth. As the person grows older, their ability to process nutrients in their body decreases. Hence, the need to increase the nutrient intake arises. The aging process, as everyone is aware, cannot be stopped but can be slowed down with the intake of certain vitamins.
After a person crosses the age of 70, their capacity of producing vitamin D is around 40%. Hence, the doctor advises people of this age to increase their intake of vitamin D. Heart disease and memory loss are the two main problems that characterize aging. These diseases arise due to the lack of some vitamins like folic acid, vitamin B12 and vitamin B6 in the body. Initial dosage for vitamin B6 recommended is 2 mg and as the age increases, this dose has to be increased upto 5 mg depending on the doctor's advise. In the same way, vitamin B12 starts from 2 mcg and can be increased upto 10 mcg.
In general, there are some different types of anti aging vitamins used to:
* Keep you fit and healthy
* Prevent the damage caused to the skin by free radicals
* Combat the aging process
In market, you can find some skin creams that neutralize the damages caused by the free radicals. But, the anti oxidant property in them is so small that they do not absorb thoroughly into the skin, thus giving short-term result. Here are some anti aging vitamins that helps slow down aging and drastically control the aging process.
1. Vitamin E - This is an important anti oxidant property used to protect the body cells. It also prevents the any damage causing to the coenzymes associated with the cells of the body. It even has the capacity of decreasing the ability of free radicals causing harm to the body cells. When it is applied to the skin in the form of cream, gel or lotion, it protects the skin from harmful UV rays. It decreases the production of cancer causing cells.
2. Selenium - This mineral has the capacity to protect the body from dangerous cancer cells. The selenium when taken orally provides protection against the damage by UV rays on the skin. Important of all is that it maintains the elasticity of the body tissues, which in turn slows down the aging process. Selenium is also present in the food items like seafood, eggs, grain foods and garlic. They are also available in the form of supplements in the market. These can be taken orally by doctor's advice.
3. Vitamin C - This is also one of the important anti oxidant found in a person's body cells. Its function in the body cells is to synthesize the collagen that is responsible for the elasticity and strength of the skin. Our body do not have the capacity to store this important property. Hence, it has to be regularly ingested in the form of food or supplements to avoid aging. Citrus fruits are rich in this vitamin.
