As the human body gets older, it starts to lose key vitamins and minerals that keep it healthy and running like a well-oiled machine. Just because you get older, doesn’t mean that you have to stop caring about nutrition. You can even get all of the vitamins and minerals you need in food and drinks that are easy to consume and digest. With that in mind, you can make drinks that are easy to digest, really healthy, and tasty. Here is an example you can try out at home:
