Longevity. Anti-Aging. Buzz words of our times for good reason as the workforce extends into the 70s and life beyond age 75. So the question is, will supplements help in your quest to stay as healthy as possible and slow that ticking clock? If you stick around long enough, are you an antique? One of the definitions for antique is "a work of art that has high value because of its considerable age".

Since finishing the January-May edition of Health Points, I've been busy! So you may have noticed a short absence from my blog activity but for good reason. I've attended three informative nutrition conferences (one a 5-day virtual from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. -- whew!) I've got lots of nutritional tidbits to share, starting right now.

This past weekend, I attended an event sponsored by Oregon State University and the Linus Pauling Institute. Some of you may know that Linus Pauling, PhD., was the only individual to win two unshared Nobel Prizes (Chemistry 1954; Peace 1962), He is credited with coining the term "orthomolecular" health, believing that vitamins and other micro nutrients could be utilized to promote health and prevent chronic  disease. A true pioneer in pro-active wellness!
