The podcast discusses low-hanging fruits that can reduce the risk of age-related diseases. Micronutrient inadequacies are a widespread problem in developed countries, and getting essential micronutrients from diet is important. Taking supplements for important micronutrients like vitamin D is an easy way to address deficiencies. About 70% of the US population has inadequate levels of vitamin D, which is associated with higher all-cause mortality. Factors like spending less time outside and wearing sunscreen contribute to widespread deficiency in vitamin D. Taking a daily supplement of 4,000 IU of vitamin D can help bring deficient individuals to sufficient levels.
