nutritional supplementsWhile it is true that taking nutritional supplements can help keep you looking younger than your real age that is not the only reason that I take them. Of course I have no desire to look older than my years but the main reason I take nutritional supplements is because I want to ward of the signs of aging inside my body.
I do not know if you have ever been seriously ill before, but I have. I had severe asthma as a child and I almost lost my kidneys when I caught a particularly bad infection back when I was 22. When you have been seriously ill before you realize that you are mortal and stop taking your health for granted.
It’s not that I fear death as such. What makes me uncomfortable is the idea of dying of a terminal degenerative disease and suffering horribly beforehand. I know that taking nutritional supplements, exercising regularly, avoiding toxins and watching what I eat will help me to avoid developing a degenerative disease later in life. The knowledge that my lifestyle choices increase the odds of me dying peacefully in my sleep of old age is comforting.
