As a Senior Citizen, your body looks after you, well most of the time. It behooves us well as Senior Citizens to return the favor and look after our bodies.

Natural is about being proactive. You need to be dedicated to making and keeping your body healthy.

Natural medicine does not cause drowsiness and works with the body to help you.

Natural medicine, made from natural ingredients, because of its anti-bacterial effects, is used by many senior citizens in place of traditional medicine to assist in the cure of their ailments.

Natural is not about being a health freak, but more about being a health-conscious person, making the natural health lifestyle work for and with you. It seems unlikely that you as a Senior Citizen will have been living a junk food and quick meal life, but, if you have, you will need to consider incorporating a series of vitamins into your regime.

Natural means incorporating more natural solutions in your life. The best way to prevent, treat, and in many cases cure illness is to give your body the right tools and let it go to work reduce the amount of processed food you eat to keep the salt and alcohol down and take more exercise and get more sleep.

Recent studies seem to have confirmed that an increased intake of water and the proper immune-enhancing nutrients offer the best defense against most infections. Water please note! No alcoholic drinks. In fact, one of the most common causes of headaches is the lack of proper hydration.

Even back pain can be caused by a lack of fluids. Spinal discs that are filled with fluid act as shock absorbers in our spinal column and when they are not hydrated they deflate and provide less absorption placing the load on the shell of the disk instead of using fluid. Another effect of the fluid level in disks can be lack of movement, moving your head around and moving your upper body around while sitting at a desk can help alleviate this and allow the discs to become rehydrated.

High blood pressure or hypertension can be caused by a lower blood volume from dehydration. It’s a bit obvious but since our blood is over 80% water it can be, from a volume point of view, very susceptible to changes in hydration.

As a senior citizen you will be able to enjoy the pleasures of life with a body that functions at its optimum for a good few years yet, once you start living a natural life, you start feeling better; and that is crucial in dealing with the everyday stresses and strains of the senior citizen growing ever older.
