On the occasion of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee in 1897, a grand parade brought onto the streets of London the panoply of empire.
Your body absorbs two types of nutrients: macronutrients and micronutrients. Macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins and fats) are your bodyâs direct fuel or energy sources, whereas micronutrients (vitamins, minerals, etc.) indirectly influence available energy by serving as catalysts to release the macros.
In addition, the body's ability to absorb two essential nutrientsâvitamin D (from sunlight) and vitamin B12 (from food)âdiminishes with age. So people older than 50 often need to be sure they get 600 to 1,000 International Units of D and at least 2.4 micrograms of B12. A multivitamin is one potential source of those nutrients, though some people might still need a separate vitamin D supplement (often combined with calcium) to reach the recommended levels.
