Vitamins and food supplements will not make your body stronger. I am 82 and have zero health problems and fit into my wedding suit from year 1992. I do treadmill 5-6 times every week. Just walk at good pace with wrist weights of 1 lb each. I swing arms with wrist weights. Keeps me fit, athletic and flexible. Try it. Start slow and work up to 25 minutes routine. Benefits are amazing.

Thats not whzt people take vitamins and supplements for.

You take them because you aren’t getting enough nutrients from other sources like food and sunlight. Most people don’t eat well and even if you try certain foods grown in different soils around the country are deficient in various minerals. If all your food is processed and fast you are getting much less good building blocks and you will need supplementation.

I wear 2 lb ankle weights while I walk on the treadmill for 30-40 minutes using a 4% grade at 3.2 mph. I do that 4-5 times a week. I try to keep my caloric intake under 1500 which is the correct BMR for my height and weight. The number on the scale still keeps creeping up, which is very frustrating, especially since this weight loss regimen used to work in the past.

Huge agree. A lot of media overhype vitamins as some miracle cure, when in reality, unless you’re stuck on the ship in the middle of the sea, you are getting enough vitamins from your normal diet and never would need supllements to begin with.
