As we age, our bodies don’t work the same way that they used to. But don’t worry! You can hack into your system with supplements to keep everything running as it always has. Start with these five:

-Vitamin C: This one helps with hormones. If you’re having trouble staying calm and find yourself getting frazzled or angry a lot, you might be deficient. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about taking a supplement.

-Magnesium: This one is extra important if you’re a woman over 35 dealing with PMS. Magnesium helps alleviate muscle spasms, i.e. period cramps.

-Vitamin D: You reach your peak bone mass around age 30, after that, calcium is super important. Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium. It also keeps your skin from getting dry and is a good supplement for anyone who is post-menopausal.

-Omega-3: This stuff lowers stress hormones and reduces inflammation, which is the root of many diseases. Unless you eat fish every day, consider an omega-3 supplement.

-Selenium: This one helps regulate the thyroid, which has a tendency to become more unpredictable and persnickety as you age. Conveniently, one of the best ways to get your selenium is by eating two Brazil nuts per day. That’s all!

If you’re reaching for vegetable or peanut oil every time you’re making a stir-fry or some scrambled eggs, it might be making you sick.

Vegetable oils contain omega-6 fatty acids, the not-so-healthy cousin of omega-3 (that’s the kind in olive oil, nuts, and salmon that has anti-inflammatory properties).

In a recent study, the authors wrote that the ideal ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 is 1 to 4.

But in the past few decades, we’ve been eating a lot more omega-6s, and this ratio has shifted to 15 to 1. This increase could explain the rise in chronic inflammatory conditions like obesity, Alzheimer's disease, cardiovascular disease, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

NOTE: other oils that could throw off your omega-3 balance are corn oil, safflower oil, sunflower oil, grade seed oil, and condiments like mayonnaise and salad dressings. If you eat a lot of this stuff, cut back and make the switch to olive oil.

-Eat more protein. Studies show that eating more protein reduces the degree to which the sight of crave-worthy foods, like a box of donuts in the office, activates the brain’s reward system.

-Avoid artificial sweeteners. Fake sugar is still bad for you.

-Focus on the biggest sources first. Do you have a habit of ordering a diet coke with lunch? Or perhaps you start your day off with an extra sweet vanilla latte? Take note of what you eat and Cut. It. out.

-Be patient. It’s amazing how one day you’ll just stop craving sugar, and the thought of cookies won’t even interest you anymore. But until then, hang in there. The cravings WILL be intense.
