Write below! What are 3 mistakes that people over 50 should not make? Mistake number 1: Magnesium Deficiency Yes, this error may be present in your life and you have no idea.
Magnesium is one of the most important minerals for the proper functioning of the body. It acts on more than 300 essential biochemical reactions, such as blood pressure control, muscle function, regulation of blood glucose levels and protein synthesis. But here's the problem: Starting at age 50, the body's ability to absorb magnesium decreases.
And what happens? You start to feel the signs: cramps, fatigue, insomnia, anxiety. .
. and, what few people know, even your memory may be affected by this. The symptoms are treacherous, because many people think that cramps, lack of concentration or that feeling of always being tired are part of normal aging.
But it's not true. These are signs that your body is asking for help. And here's an important fact: more than 60% of people over 50 years of age have magnesium deficiency and don't even know it.
This can happen for several reasons: a diet poor in this mineral, excessive use of medications such as diuretics, or even intestinal problems that affect the absorption of magnesium. You may be wondering: how to solve this? The good news is that with a few simple dietary changes, you can greatly improve your magnesium intake.
Foods like spinach, avocado, almonds and even our beloved dark chocolate are great sources of magnesium. But for those with a more severe deficiency, supplements can be an effective solution. Now, you may be thinking, 'What type of supplement is right for me?
' Magnesium threonate, for example, is an excellent choice for those looking to improve memory and brain function. Magnesium malate is great for those who need more energy, and citrate can help regulate the intestines. I already made a video about magnesium.
I'll leave the link up here. But remember, if you have kidney problems, it is always important to talk to your doctor before starting any supplementation. Magnesium has been linked to a lower incidence of cardiovascular disease and even helps reduce the risk of stroke.
A 2019 study showed that for every additional 100 mg of magnesium taken daily, the risk of stroke drops by 2%. Imagine waking up without those painful cramps or sleeping through the night without tossing and turning. Imagine regaining that mental clarity you thought you had lost over time.
With simple adjustments, such as good magnesium supplementation and a richer diet, this is possible. Your body deserves this care, and you will feel the difference. Magnesium is the first step towards having more energy, less pain, and returning to the quality of life you deserve.
Now let's move on to Mistake number 2: Lack of vitamin D. And here's a surprise: it does much more for your body than just strengthen your bones. In addition to keeping your bones healthy, vitamin D is essential for your immune system, mental health, and even protecting your heart.
But as you age, your ability to absorb vitamin D decreases, especially if you spend a lot of time indoors or avoid the sun. Or use sunscreen all the time. Maybe you've noticed that your legs are tired or that your memory isn't the same, but it doesn't have to be that way forever.
What many don't know is that these could be signs of vitamin D deficiency. The solution? Sun!
Just 15 to 20 minutes of sun exposure a day can make a big difference. If your dermatologist doesn't allow it, or you don't have time for it, supplement! In addition to the sun, you can increase your vitamin D intake with foods such as fatty fish and eggs, but be careful: through diet, it is difficult to reach adequate levels.
If the levels are still low, supplementation is essential. But before you start supplementing, take a blood test and, most importantly, talk to your doctor. It will help you adjust the ideal dosage, especially if you are over 50 years old.
There are people on the internet saying that you need to have a vitamin D level above 80… And it's not true! If you overdo it, go over 100, you could even have nephrocalcinosis, which is the calcification of your kidneys… I had a patient who took a high dose of vitamin D throughout Covid. As a result, he lost a lot of his kidney function.
It's no joke! Taking the right dose is essential, because both a lack and an excess of vitamin D can pose risks to your health. When you adjust your vitamin D levels, your energy returns, your immunity strengthens, and even your memory improves.
These are small adjustments that bring big changes, giving you back the well-being you deserve and helping you enjoy life with much more energy.

This silent error could be stealing your energy, affecting your memory, and even causing problems you never imagined. Vitamin B12 is absolutely essential for the proper functioning of the nervous system, the production of red blood cells and even for keeping your mind sharp. But as you age, your body loses its ability to absorb this vitamin efficiently.
Remember when you had the energy to enjoy the whole day without feeling extremely tired? Or when your memory was sharp? Imagine waking up in the morning with energy, ready to enjoy the day, without extreme tiredness or heavy legs dragging you down.
Imagine regaining clarity of thought and focus on your daily tasks. This is what vitamin B12 can do for you. But why does this happen?
From the age of 50, the production of acid in the stomach, which is essential for the absorption of B12, decreases. Furthermore, medications such as metformin, used by many people with diabetes, pre-diabetes and even to lose weight, and even medications for reflux, can further interfere with the absorption of this vitamin. So what can you do to ensure your B12 levels are adequate?
In addition to seeing your doctor and getting a regular blood test to check these levels, there are some simple solutions. You can consume foods rich in B12, such as lean meats, liver, fish, eggs and dairy products. But, pay attention!
For many people, especially those with absorption problems or who follow vegetarian diets, foods alone may not be enough. In this case, B12 supplementation is essential, whether orally or in some cases, even by injection, depending on what your doctor recommends. For those who have serious absorption problems, such as people who have had bowel surgery, bariatric surgery, or have other serious digestive conditions, B12 injections may be the only effective way to absorb the vitamin.
This ensures that your body receives the amount necessary to maintain your health and energy. I had a patient who, for years, suffered from tingling on my hands and feet and I couldn't find the cause, I thought it was a heart problem. But after some tests I discovered that it was B12 deficiency.
He started supplementing, and within a few months, the symptoms disappeared. And it improved life as a whole! So, never underestimate these signs.
With the right dose of vitamin B12, you can regain your energy, protect your brain, and avoid uncomfortable symptoms such as extreme tiredness and lack of concentration. Small adjustments that bring big transformations, ensuring a fuller and healthier life. And you, have you ever felt tired or had difficulty concentrating?
Tell me in the comments what is bothering you most about your health. In addition to the three mistakes we talked about today, there are other simple precautions that can make all the difference in your life. Simple tests such as kidney function (creatinine, urea and urine test), and colonoscopy or, at the very least, occult blood in the feces are essential to prevent diseases that develop silently.
I have already spoken about the importance of colonoscopy. If you don't smoke, the cancer that kills the most is bowel cancer. So no one wants to be caught by surprise.
With colonoscopy, you can remove a pre-cancerous polyp before it turns into cancer. And of course, I have to emphasize the importance of staying active. Light exercise, such as daily walking or moderate weight training, strengthens muscles and helps prevent fractures and diseases common with aging.
Exercise will also give you more energy, make you happier and stronger. Taking care of your health is a daily commitment. If you are sedentary, start slowly, but get started!
Also adjust your diet, ensuring you are getting the right nutrients. And you deserve to live well, willingly, and enjoy every moment with the ones you love. And look, if you're over 50, you're not alone on this journey.
