Multi vitamin mature, red yeast for cholesterol, couple glucosamine pills for joints, and a magic bullet smoothie maker, spinach strawberries, blueberries, almonds, flax seeds. Whatever my wife throws in there for breakfast.

Osteo Bi-Flex since I broke my leg. Keeps me going.
I'm no Superhero although I am slowly ageing, I don't turn seventy until March next year.
No cholesterol, no high blood pressure, no diabetes, etc;
Doctor tells me that my lungs are like that of a 27 year old.
I take relatively few pills.
I can still work 12-14 hour days for a week or more during my busy couple of months, but my knees and back do get a bit sore.
Most days are about 6 hours.
I also believe in the green smoothie for breakfast after Rambo put me onto it a few years back.
Salad for lunch & steamed veggies for dinner.
This is not a set menu though as we do eat out a fair bit, but rarely at McChunders, the Colonels, etc;
& I eat far too much, as S.W.M.B.O. is a terrific cook.
Downside, since my right knee and leg was worked on, including a 6 month stay in hospital with Golden Staph, (MRSA, 18 & 1/2 years ago), my left knee has taken the brunt of it all.
One leg is shorter than the other which causes me to limp slightly.
I also believe I'm going to have problems with my right hand having broken two knuckles when it came into contact with a hard head many years ago.
I now have osteo arthritis in both knees.
Meds; I take are sometimes some Celebrex or Panadol Osteo for the knees.
Take no vitamins, prefer fresh fruit & veggies; instead.
When my knees do swell up, I wrap a bandage that has been soaked in vinegar around each knee for a few hours to reduce the inflammation.
Virtually never get a cold or flu, except when I fly to the U.S.
Don't take flu shots, etc; Drink apple cider vinegar mixed with honey & cinnamon instead leading up to, & into the cold weather.
Have no intention of stopping, although we are looking at slowing down & using smaller, lighter equipment & picking our target market such as dyeing, spotting, etc;
