i want to talk about the top nutritional  deficiencies in the elderly it’s a big  

problem there’s even a condition called  the tea and toast syndrome now that happens  

over time when a diet degenerates into you know  consuming a little bit of bread or crackers and  

tea maybe some occasional canned meats so  there’s gonna be a lot of deficiencies with that  

but it’s an actual syndrome and then  you have the nursing home which is  

a bunch of cook foods a lot of sugar low quality  foods and snacks that they make available which  

is going to increase the insulin and etc etc  and a lot of the elderly also is on synthetic  

vitamins they’re in a multivitamin and the first  ingredient is calcium carbonate which is limestone  

which is why the bottle is so heavy it’s  not it’s not really high quality stuff  

not to mention that the elderly is on a lot of  medications which can deplete you of vitamins  

especially if they’re on diabetic medication  especially if they’re taking diuretics which can  

deplete the electrolytes so we have that the other  factor is the older you get the less stomach acid  

you’re going to have which means you’re not going  to be able to digest protein and you’re not going  

to be able to pull in the amino acids which you  need to help repair and heal the body also you’re  

not going to be able to absorb b12 that well and  that creates all sorts of problems with energy  

anemia inflammatory conditions brain issues and  also you can’t absorb minerals that well so there  

goes potassium calcium magnesium etc the older  you get the less nutrients you can absorb and  

this is especially true for probably one of the  biggest nutrient deficiencies in the elderly which  

is vitamin d this group is not out in the sun  they’re not probably doing healthy cod liver oil  

so there’s usually always a major vitamin d  deficiency and this is going to affect their  

immune system vitamin b1 is usually also deficient  too as someone gets older and if you’ve watched  

some of my other videos you know the importance of  b1 if you haven’t i put the links down below very  

important of course the other b vitamins as well  this is why nutritional yeast is so important so  

i would recommend for your grandparents is to give  them nutritional yeast i would give them vitamin  

d i would put them on a mineral supplement  and a trace mineral supplement so we have  

low potassium as well which you need for  energy and nerve and muscle activation  

magnesium is going to be a low so it’s  probably why the blood pressure is  

usually high in the elderly also sodium is  going to be low that’s called hyponatremia  

and the worst thing you can do with someone  that is low in sodium is to have them drink a  

lot of water keep drinking more water thinking  they’re dehydrated when you’re just diluting  

this sodium and other electrolytes and then they  start developing all sorts of issues with that  

and then of course low trace minerals the most  important i think is zinc which is part of  

so many different chemical pathways in the  body so i just wanted to create this video  

if you have a grandparent or a parent that’s  getting older definitely include some of these  

nutrients in their diet and if you can get  them on keto and then do intermittent fasting  

before you go if you have a question about a  product or you’re new to keto and you want to  

know how to begin keto or you’re on keto and you  need a debug because it’s not going as smooth  

i have a keto consultant standing  by to help you this is just for the  

people in the u.s hopefully in the future  we’ll be able to answer everyone’s call  

but i put the number down below  so you can call and get some help
