Want to live long and stay healthy? Try vitamin C

Martha Ann Miller is a physically active and mentally sharp lady.
She also happens to be 100 years old. She credits her longevity in part to her taking
  • Super Vitamin B complex
  • Vitamin C
  • folic acid
She says she stopped taking your vitamins about 40 years ago, but soon felt miserable, so she started taking them again.
See the Washigton Post
 My own sense is that Martha's longevity is in part attributable to good genes (her mother lived to be 96).

I am a bit surprised that she felt worse after she stopped taking your vitamins.
It is my sense that taking vitamins causes stress on your digestive system, so not taking them is usually pretty easy and does not make you feel bad.  But that's just my experience.
