The vitamins and essential minerals are just that – essential. They must be part of the diet every day, day after day, year after year. Long-term failure to include enough of even one vitamin or essential mineral from the diet will cause disease, cell death and tissue degeneration. Eventually, the entire body will begin to die. Obviously, this is not a scenario consistent with the goal of Healthy Aging, as deficiencies of essential minerals and vitamins are the unhealthiest way to age. In the paradigm of healthy aging, ensuring adequate intakes of these essentials is the first step. Without this essential foundation, the other pillars of healthy aging crumble fast.

Today, in this enlightened, affluent, highly educated era, it would seem acceptable to think that no one in the United States could suffer from a vitamin or essential mineral deficiency, or so the US government and the American Medical Association may have you believe. Unfortunately, however, this isn’t true.

According to US government data, over 90 percent of American adults fail to consume enough calcium daily to satisfy the current government-sanctioned minimal dietary standards. The same statistics hold true for magnesium and vitamin E. Additionally, 75 percent of American adults are deficient in copper or zinc; half of whom are deficient in vitamin C, vitamin D or chromium; and between 10 and 15 percent are deficient in one or more of the B-vitamins. Interestingly enough, even though we are facing the epidemic of obesity in the United States, widespread nutritional deficiencies are out of hand.

You might ask, “So what? I don’t feel unhealthy.” It’s not like we have problems with: * Gum Health (vitamin C and magnesium) * Hair Health and rough skin (B-vitamins) * Prostate Health (vitamin D, vitamin E, selenium and zinc) * Healthy Blood Sugar (chromium, magnesium and vanadium) * Bone Health (calcium, magnesium, boron, vitamin D, vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin K) * Memory Issues (folate/folic acid, thiamin, choline, vitamin E, selenium) * Heart Health (selenium, calcium, magnesium, vitamin C, vitamin E and vitamin D) * Periodontal Health (calcium, magnesium, vitamin C and vitamin D) * Weak Immune Systems (selenium, zinc, vitamin C and vitamin D) * Feeling Tired (B-vitamins and magnesium).

These issues are so prevalent in our population that it’s easy not to be concerned about them. The more one thinks about them, though, the more one realizes the problems they can lead to. The irony of it all is that these areas can all be supported simply by ensuring adequate intakes of essential vitamins and minerals.

Healthy consumption of essential vitamins and minerals can do the body plenty of good, in addition to their aid in the prevention of classically recognized nutritional deficiency diseases. A few key examples should confirm this point.
