Pillar 1: Precision Nutrition and Fortified Foods
You must prioritize nutrient density over sheer caloric volume to accommodate a slower resting metabolism.
Because natural gastric acid declines with age, obtain your 2.4 mcg daily B12 requirement from fortified foods or supplements.
Fortified foods contain crystalline B12, which your body absorbs readily without needing strong gastric acid to break protein bonds.
Men over 70 must also increase their daily calcium intake to 1,200 mg, matching the long-standing standard for women over 50.
