    If you can’t seem to get off the couch and start exercising, ask yourself if one of these exercise barriers is holding you back.
    
    All or nothing – if you’re an “all or nothing” thinker, you may put off exercising until you have plenty of time, no distractions, or can afford the perfect running shoes. Remember, you don’t have to endure an uninterrupted hour of exercise to benefit. Take the stairs, park farther away, or even squeeze in a mini-workout before dinner. Short workouts do add up to greater health and well being, sooner than you may realize. Try wearing a pedometer and see how quickly everyday steps can add up.

    In a bad habit – exercise is a habit like any other. If you’re in the habit of spending your free time on the couch, it will be difficult to change your routine. Luckily, habits can be broken and once you learn a new way to do things, you’ll likely find your new habit easy to stick with. All it takes is going on an evening walk, enjoying a dance class, or getting involved in a sports team you enjoy. Before you know it, your bad habits can be changed to a lifestyle that leads you right to your goals.
    
    The wrong fuel – though it takes time to build up your exercise endurance, if you’re not sticking to your routine or seeing results, you may be eating the wrong foods and starving your body of good exercise nutrition. Make a point to eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins. Taking a daily multivitamin and energy supplement may also help increase your energy while you exercise. Remember, a diet of fast food, chips, donuts, soda pop and cookies will not help your body stay healthy and energized during exercise, compared to a healthier diet.
    
    Unhelpful people – if the people closest to you don’t share your exercise and health goals, it can be hard to change your routine, especially if you spend a lot of time with people who enjoy foods and activities that make staying healthy difficult. If you’ve tried to explain the importance of health and wellness and it doesn’t help, focus on finding exercise buddies and people to help support your goals.
    
    Track each step you take towards your health goals with TriVita’s easy-to-use Healthy Living Pedometer – it is the highest quality pedometer available, and it counts calories, steps and distance, so you can just enjoy your workout! To learn more about this product, visit Trivita

    For most men, prostate cancer is a big concern – close to one in six men will get prostate cancer during their lifetime. Close to 80% of men over 80 already have prostate cancer. But there are things men can do to help lower their risk.
    
    Exercise – even getting a few extra minutes of exercise can help reduce risk of diseases. Try walking, lifting weights at a gym, or playing a sport.

    Eat right – eating plenty of antioxidant-packed fruits and vegetables may help stop cell-damaging free radicals. Try adding a few fresh snacks to your daily diet.
    
    Learn – ask relatives about your own family history of cancer, and stay aware of health information that may affect you. Go to your local library and learn all you can about conditions that concern you.
    
    Check-up – men 50 and over should have a prostate exam and blood test once a year. For men with a family history, start getting exams at age 40. Keep your doctor informed of any changes or concerns, such as urinary problems.

    Fill gaps – nutritional gaps leave you vulnerable. Supplement your diet with helpful vitamins and herbs such as: magnesium, zinc, selenium, lycopene, saw palmetto and stinging nettle root.
    
    Get the right vitamins, herbs, and amino acids to help support your prostate, with TriVita’s Prostate Health Formula. To learn more about this product, visit Trivita

  • From: Trivita
  • Description:

    

    Have you had your homocysteine level checked? You are at greater risk for Alzheimer’s Disease if you have a high level of homocysteine. You’re also at greater risk if you don’t have enough folic acid and Vitamin B-12, found a 1998 Oxford study, published in the Archives of Neurology.
    
    A high level of homocysteine can also increase your risk of dying prematurely from diseases such as: cancer, heart disease, stroke, and lung diseases, found a July 2001 study by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
    
    So what can you do to reduce your risk and lower your homocysteine?
      . Get enough folic acid, and Vitamins B-12 and B-6
      . Eat a balanced diet with plenty of lean meats, fruits and vegetables
      . Exercise
      . Stop smoking
    
    The single biggest factor in reducing your risk, is taking B-12, B-6 and folic acid supplements in a sublingual form. Many people over the age of 40 cannot absorb these vitamins if given in a regular pill form. The sublingual tablet is placed under your tongue and is absorbed directly into your bloodstream.
    
    Alzheimer’s Disease is a devastating illness that causes confusion, memory loss, and language problems. Unlike other forms of dementia, once Alzheimer’s strikes, a nutritious diet is not enough to reverse the damage. That’s why it’s so important to reduce your levels of homocysteine and fortify your body with Vitamin B-12 and folic acid, before the disease even has a chance to strike.
    
    Reduce your homocysteine level and lower your risk of disease with TriVita’s Sublingual B-12, B-6 & Folic Acid.™

  • Description:

    Don't Be Slowed Down by Weight Loss Speed Bumps
    
    This is the perfect time of year for an encouraging article on keeping your weight loss goals. Why? Because nearly half of all people in North America make New Year’s resolutions – and the most common resolution is to lose weight.
    
    Within a few weeks the number of people sticking to their resolve declines dramatically. Given the importance of improving our behavior, an encouraging word from an ally may be just the thing we all need to keep our resolve!
    
    Mechanics of weight loss
    Let’s review the best advice for weight loss that we have gathered from expert sources over the last several years.
    
    How
    . Reduce your caloric intake to match your basal metabolic rate (BMR). BMR represents the number of calories your body needs at rest; in other words, your body burns these calories through basic functions. So, BMR represents the ideal number of calories you should eat in a day.

    BASAL METABOLIC RATE (BMR) CALCULATOR

    BMR represents the ideal number of calories you should consume in a day to maintain your weight.

    Females:

    (_____________________x10) + ___________________________
     Your Current Weight                       Your Current Weight                      

    Males:

    (_____________________x10) + 2 x_________________________
     Your Current Weight                       Your Current Weight                      

    . Increase your activity to burn one to two pounds of fat per week.
    
    When
    . Never eat within two hours of bedtime.
    . Morning exercise is a bit better than evening exercise.
    . Never consume more than 400 calories in an hour.
    
    What
    . Eat according to an organized plan. For example, the South Beach, Ornish and Mediterranean diets all provide customized dieting tools.
    . Do both aerobic and resistance exercises most days of the week.
    
    Why
    Your sense of purpose will help drive your success.
    
    Speed bumps
    Somewhere along the way you are going to experience discouragement, disappointment or despondency. It may be when:
    
    . You hit a weight loss plateau.
    . You see others doing what you used to do and the old habits pull at your heart.
    . Your inner voices – I call them my “council of critics” – start to tell you lies about failure and success.
    
    What do you do when you hit a speed bump?
    
    The answer to this question does not lie in the “how, when, what” of weight loss. The answer lies in the “why.” Your personal “why” gives you energy. It inspires you, motivates you, and drives you to complete your goal.
    
    Remember to let your desire fuel your action; let your actions harmonize with your sense of purpose. Simply be resolved to live a life of purpose and you will have the energy to get beyond the speed bumps.
    
    Common setbacks
    Unsupportive family: Losing weight with an uncooperative family is very difficult. In fact, diet failure is far more common among people with kids at home than among empty-nesters. A great solution is to turn those sources of distraction into cheerleaders. Recruit your family into your support group. Ask them for help and you may be surprised how helpful a supportive family can be.
    
    Parties and gatherings: Parties and family gatherings are another trigger for setbacks. Food and a festive environment are catalysts for overeating and skipping exercise. Careful planning in advance can really help with food selection and an exercise schedule. And if you do overindulge, remember the “calories in, calories out” rule and increase your exercise for a week or two to burn off the extra calories.
    
    Emotional speed bumps: Depression, discouragement and despondency are also common triggers for diet failure. Remembering the 10 Essentials for Health and Wellness can be a good antidote. For instance, Essential #6 teaches us that we need to give and receive love for excellent health. Love moves us to commit ourselves to a life of purpose. Purpose is the reason for action. Therefore, love can help us avoid fear, shame and doubt.
    
    Conclusion
    When we commit ourselves to such noble pursuits, do they not deserve our very best attention? We need to define our purpose as the foundation for success. Purpose is an important motivation to help us reshape our thinking. Purpose is the antidote to self-sabotage.
    
    Ponder each of these 10 life-changing essentials for healthy living. You will soon see that each of these gems reflect the light you need to see beliefs that no longer serve your best interests. You can confront self-sabotage and slay the dragons that keep you from reaching your goals. Also, learning and living the 10 Essentials provides you with powerful tools to reshape your attitudes into the very ones that can help you to reach your goals, live the life you want and fulfill your purpose.
    
    Take Control of Your Health
    
    . Plan a balance of calories and activity for lifetime weight control
    . Eat the optimal amount of fruits and vegetables daily
       . Men: 9 servings
       . Women: 7 servings
       . Children: 5 servings
    . Plan 30 minutes of aerobic activity most days of the week
    . Do resistance training 2-5 times per week
    . Supplement to support the four stages of weight loss:
       . Energy and Metabolism: Leanology Weight Loss Capsules help increase metabolism and energy to support your body’s ability to burn more calories at rest.
       . Cortisol and Stress Management: Leanology Weight Loss Capsules help to limit cortisol production in your body – cortisol is the stress-induced hormone that can lead to   abdominal fat.
       . Appetite Control: Leanology Appetite Control Chews help reduce the natural hunger signals in your body, minimizing cravings.
       . Blood Sugar Control: Leanology Nutritional Shakes help your body use the nutrients you eat as energy, rather than storing them as fat.

• Healthy Aging After Retirement Healthy Aging After Retirement

  • From: Trivita
  • Description:

    Healthy Aging After Retirement

    According to the book “BioMarkers,” the greatest predictor of health as we age is the level of lean body mass that we carry. Lean body mass fuels our metabolism. Unfortunately, a chronic wasting condition affects many seniors. The condition is called sarcopenia. What causes it and what can we do to prevent and even reverse it?
    
    Sarcopenia – chronic wasting
    A deficit in lean body mass (muscles, organs, bones, etc.) is called sarcopenia. Energy is born in your muscles and other lean body mass. It is created to meet the needs of the day. People actually program their energy metabolism by their activity level. In other words, if you regularly expend a certain amount of energy every day, your body will start anticipating this. Your metabolism will create the lean body mass and produce the energy needed to meet the regular tasks of the day.
    
    Energy requires fuel. A healthy person will have a hunger equivalent to their energy needs. The hunger ceases and you feel satisfied when nutrient levels – especially fats – have reached the general requirements for fuel anticipated by your body. Interestingly, in a healthy person certain cravings will direct their appetite to foods containing the nutrients they lack. Most of us have obliterated our delicate sense of taste with added salt and sugar. We have erased the ability of our body to communicate through cravings.
    
    These are three main components for metabolism and building lean body mass:
    
    1. Peaceful sleep
    2. Nutritious foods
    3. Purposeful daily activity.

    Without these three elements your body simply does not have the resources or even the need to build lean body mass. Building up does not keep pace with wearing down. As the balance of metabolism tips toward muscle loss instead of muscle gain, a person is at risk of sarcopenia.
    
    Purpose, sleep and nutrition
    “BioMarkers” also discusses how the human body can begin to shut down after retirement when there is a lack of purposeful daily activity. This is accompanied by a reduced ability to sleep and eat. With less whole food in the diet, fewer nutrients are ingested and vitamin deficiency is very common.
    
    A real key for healthy aging is reclaiming your sense of purpose in life. When we are younger, this sense of purpose is often expressed in caring for a family or pursuing a career. As we age, new activities may replace the endeavors of our youth:
    
    . Adult education
    . Volunteerism
    . Mentoring.

    Additionally, a regular exercise program becomes very critical as we age, and we should pay more attention to a healthy diet every day and peaceful sleep every night.
    
    The supplements of healthy aging include four critical components:
    
     .  A balanced multiple vitamin/mineral supplement to protect against nutrient deficiency
     .  An essential fatty acid supplement to reduce inflammation in the arteries and rehydrate the brain
     .  A Vitamin C supplement to serve as an antioxidant reserve and to help keep the immune system active
     .  A B-12 supplement to help keep energy levels up and the mind bright.

    Vitamin B-12 is the number one nutrient deficiency among seniors, followed by Vitamin C.
    
    Healthy aging after retirement
    The average lifespan of retirees is only 2.5 years from the point of retirement. Without a sense of purpose there is no reason for energy and the body simply begins to shut down. The greatest wellness and longevity is experienced by those who enjoy purposeful daily activity, peaceful sleep and a nutritious diet. Take your healthy aging supplements and, to paraphrase former President George H.W. Bush, “Stop yelling at the TV; get up off the couch, get out of the house and live the life of your dreams!”
    
    Take Control of Your Health
    
     .  Get 7.5 to 9 hours of sleep every night
     .  Eat a nutritious diet every day:
        . 7 servings of fruits and vegetables for women
        . 9 servings of fruits and vegetables for men
        . High-quality protein every day
     .  Get active doing things you love:
        . Volunteer
        . Mentor younger ones
        . Never stop learning
     . Take your healthy aging nutrients
        . Healthy Aging Pack

• Finding healthy alternatives t Finding healthy alternatives to the Western Diet

  • From: Trivita
  • Description:

    Finding healthy alternatives to the Western Diet
    Break out of the fast food rut with these dietary options
    By Brazos Minshew, TriVita’s Chief Science Officer
    
    I once overheard a robust-looking young lady say something about dieting that caught my attention. She said, “I am on the Seafood Diet. When I see food, I eat it!”
    
    For the longest time, the Western Diet has been the only diet type for most of us. And that often means oversized food portions which contain higher levels of fat, salt and sugar. We also tend to eat fewer portions and varieties of fruits and vegetables and much less fiber than is healthy for us.
    
    So, how can we make our diet – and, therefore our bodies – more healthy? Here are some dietary approaches that will help you break away from the burger, fries and diet soda routine and help you feel better today, healthier tomorrow.
    
    The DASH Diet
    A joint statement from the American Heart Association, the American Cancer Society and the American Dietetic Association says that “We need to eat more fruits and vegetables.” These prestigious organizations also recommend that we eat less salt and fat and more fiber. They call their approach the DASH Diet (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension).
    
    The DASH Diet was developed by the NIH (National Institutes of Health).
    The NIH looked at diets from around the world to find those that reduced the risk of heart attack and stroke. What they discovered is that the same diet that is good for the heart is also good for so much more, including the blood sugar and the immune system and even helps to prevent diabetes and cancer. The NIH took some of the characteristics of several effective diets and combined them into one: the DASH Diet. It’s truly the first effective alternative to the Western Diet.
    
    Mediterranean Diet
    One of the diets that the NIH examined is called the Mediterranean Diet. The Mediterranean Diet is focused on abundant fruits and vegetables and low to no saturated fats (the primary fat is olive oil). Many books have been written on the Mediterranean Diet since 1945, but my favorite book is The Sonoma Diet. The authors of The Sonoma Diet are true food artists. The presentation of the Mediterranean Diet from their perspective is absolutely delicious!
    
    The Pritikin Program and Ornish Diet
    Another low saturated fat diet was presented by Nathan Pritikin some years ago (updated by Robert Pritikin) as The Pritikin Program. Rather than being merely low-fat, the Pritikin Diet is pretty close to ‘no fat.’ In this, it mirrors the approach taken by Dean Ornish in the book Reversing Heart Disease. Both of these approaches have proven themselves superior in stopping, then reversing clogged arteries. Both diets are primarily vegetarian and come in a therapeutic model and a more inclusive program for daily use.
    
    Adkins and South Beach Diets
    On the opposite end of the fat spectrum is the Adkins Diet and modified version of the Adkins Diet, the South Beach Diet. While not having the scientific framework of the Mediterranean, the Pritikin and the Ornish programs, the South Beach Diet is designed by a cardiologist. His menu plans seize the weight loss benefits of the low-carb revolution started by Adkins, but with the common sense of a physician accustomed to seeing advanced heart disease. He includes a generous recommendation for low-starch vegetables and some fruits.
    
    Choose a healthier diet
    The DASH Diet allows for a little fat, the Mediterranean Diet a little more and the South Beach even more. The Ornish Diet is low fat and the Pritikin Diet is even lower. Since each of these approaches are effective at reducing our risk for heart attacks, strokes, cancer and diabetes, what are the commonalities that make them work so well? Primarily it is the amount of plant food encouraged by each diet.
    
    So, no matter what diet you choose , eat lots of fruits and vegetables
    Plant food (fruits and vegetables) are divided into high water-content foods and low water-content foods. High water-content foods are primarily fruits and vegetables. Low water-content foods may include starchy vegetables as well as legumes, nuts and seeds. Plant foods contain little or no saturated fats; they are high in fiber and they are nutrient-dense. According to the best minds and the most abundant research, everyone needs to eat at least five servings of vegetables and fruits every day. Women should aim for seven servings of vegetables and fruits and men should target nine servings of vegetables and fruits every day.
    
    Remember, the Western Diet is no longer your only choice. You can eat healthy and still enjoy a wide variety of very tasty and nutritious food options by investigating the alternative types of diets presented in this article.

  • Description:

    

    4 Words to Banish

    The Oxford English Dictionary lists no less than 500,000 words in the English language (with another half-million technical and scientific terms not included). With such a rich language, it shouldn’t be hard to banish four of these words from your vocabulary – and your lifestyle.
    
    Thirsty
    When you feel the sensation of thirst, you are already becoming dehydrated! Keep your body hydrated throughout the day, with at least 8 glasses of pure water. The added benefits of increased energy and a strengthened immune system should be enough to convince you that “thirsty” needs banishing!
    
    Angry
    Being angry happens to everyone, but it doesn’t need to affect your health. Honestly and thoughtfully communicating your anger and seeking to resolve the challenge through forgiveness can stop anger in its tracks. Forgiveness is as necessary for you as it is for the person you are angry with. In fact, consciously choosing to forgive another person, no matter how small or large your anger is, takes stress off your heart. Don’t let anger ruin your health.
    
    Tired
    Everyone gets tired every day, of course; but you shouldn’t get tired before the end of the day. Your diet should be filled with fruits and vegetables, which contain nutrients necessary to energize your day. Add supplements to ensure you get all the nutrients you need. Getting enough sleep and a minimum of 30 minutes of cardiovascular exercise each day will also recharge your body. Adding deep-breathing will give you an instant pick-up. Life is too short and too precious to go through it tired. Try making changes that will banish “tired” today and tomorrow!
    
    Lonely
    Your emotional
    well-being requires contact. Whether through prayer, a church or civic group, volunteering, or other activity, be sure you have a network of friends you can count on – and who can count on you – to support you throughout your life’s journey. Love and gratitude given and received banish loneliness faster than you may think.
    
    Banish “tired” with TriVita’s original, patented Sublingual B-12, B-6 & Folic Acid™! The unique patented blend of vitamins, when taken consistently every day, will energize you and help brighten your attitude.

    Diabetes and kids

    With the holidays approaching, many parents are already worried about their kids eating too much candy – but it’s what kids eat year round that has the potential to really influence a child’s health. Daily diets of junk food, fast food, sweets, and soda pop are causing an epidemic of childhood obesity, and it’s leading to diabetes.
    
    Metabolic syndrome affects 25% of adults and raises risk of diabetes and other serious disease. Having any three of these risk factors means you or a child may have metabolic syndrome.*
    
    1. Obesity
    2. High blood pressure
    3. High triglycerides
    4. Low “good” HDL cholesterol
    5. High blood sugar
    
    Diabetes is a serious disease that can lead to serious complications including blindness, nerve damage and amputations. If a child is at risk, help them with these tips:
    
    Eat healthy – always have plenty of fruits and vegetables available for snacks.
    
    Exercise – suggest active activities and then join in if you can.
    
    Make nutrition a priority – help children get the nutrients they need with a child-friendly supplement, such as TriVita’s VegeBuddies™.
    
    Treats – offer special, non-food treats such as small toys, games, books, or just spending time together.
    
    Help children stay healthy with VegeBuddies™ – they're packed with powerful nutrients growing bodies need, in a fun and tasty gummy bear snack.

    Obesity Report Children at Risk
    
    Obesity is becoming an epidemic – and not just for adults. In the last 20 years, the numbers of obese and overweight children and teens has doubled and more than 15 percent of children are now obese or overweight, according to national statistics.
    
    Why the increase? Children are following in their parent’s footsteps. Worldwide, over 1 billion adults are overweight, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). In America, 64 percent of adults were obese or overweight in 2000, according to a report by the Center for Disease Control (CDC).
    
    And this isn't just an issue of playground teasing. obese children have increased risk disease, Type 2 Diabetes, stroke and cancer.
    
    The good news is, when parents make changes, kids benefit. Research from the American Institute for Cancer found that when parents took part in an educational program, children lost weight and 60 percent of the kids studied were no longer obese after seven years.
    
    So what can you do to help the children in your life?
    
    Encourage healthy eating – provide plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins.
    
    Limit “sit down” activities like television and video games – no more than 2 hours a day. Suggest physical activities instead.
    
    Ask your child’s pediatrician to calculate your child’s Body Mass Index (BMI) to see if your child’s height and weight are in balance.
    
    Be a role model. Show kids how you bring health into your own life.
    
    Get the energy you need to help the children in your life with TriVita’s VitaDaily AM/PM™.

    Do you love to add croutons to your salads, or sprinkles to your sundae? Adding on to meals is fun, and can be a fast way to boost nutrition – if you choose the right foods! Instead of covering your plate with empty calories, try these fun, delicious tips and bring the feel-good benefits of good nutrition in your life.
    
    Soup for your Heart
    Dress up plain tomato soup with chopped basil and you’ll not only get extra flavor. Basil has anti-inflammatory elements, and is rich in nutrients needed for cardiovascular health – beta-carotene, Vitamin B-6, and magnesium.
    
    Omega 3's in a Muffin
    Add flax seeds to your favorite muffin recipe. They’ll add a nutty flavor and they’re packed with omega 3 fatty acids, which help reduce the risk of diabetes, cancer and heart disease. And eating an ounce of flax seeds a day may help reduce the risk of breast cancer in postmenopausal women, according to a study by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, February 2004 issue.
    
    Fruit in your Cereal
    Toss some berries or banana into your morning cereal and you’ll not only get a sweet treat – you may be protecting your eyesight from macular degeneration. One study showed that people who ate three servings of fruits a day reduced their risk for the vision-destroying disease by 36%. The study was published in the Archives of Opthamology, June 2004 issue.
    
    Chicken salad with Crunch
    Finely chopped bell peppers add a tasty crunch to your chicken salad sandwich, while giving you the antioxidant power of Vitamin C and beta-carotene. Antioxidants help protect you from disease-causing free radicals, which circulate in your body unless they are neutralized.

• Health Myths Quiz Health Myths Quiz

  • From: Trivita
  • Description:

    

    Are these true or false?
    
    1. Carrots are good for your eyes.
    2. Osteoporosis isn’t a health risk for men.
    3. You probably won’t get the West Nile Virus.
    4. Caffeine won’t give you lasting energy.
    5. Tanning beds won’t damage your skin.
    6. Most people don’t get enough nutrients from food alone.
    
    Carrot are good for your eyes
    True. Carrots contain Vitamin A, a nutrient your body needs for vision health. But don’t worry if carrots aren’t your thing – this important vitamin is also found in kale, cantaloupe, and eggs. A daily vitamin supplement will help ensure you get enough essential vitamins.
    
    Caffeine won't give you lasting energy
    True. Caffeine is a quick fix that can zap your energy. Caffeine can also keep you up at night, leading to even more fatigue. It’s also a diuretic – and if you lose enough water, dehydration can set in and leave you feeling exhausted. To get energy the healthy way, exercise, eat right and make sure you’re getting the nutrition your body needs. TriVita’s Sublingual B-12, B-6 & Folic Acid™ and 2-Step Energy System™ help your body produce lasting energy.
    
    Osteoporosis isn't a healthy risk for men
    False. You’ve probably heard that 8 million women have osteoporosis in the U.S., but did you know that 2 million men do? After age 50, men have a greater risk of osteoporosis-related bone fractures than they do of getting prostate cancer.
    
    Tanning beds won't damage your skin
    False. Getting that “healthy” glow causes skin damage even from tanning beds. Sunlamps emit ultraviolet (UV) rays that can lead to deadly damage. A Dartmouth Medical School study linked tanning beds to skin cancer. If you want a tan look, use rub-on “self-tanning” creams and stay away from tanning beds.
    
    Your probably won't get the West Nile Virus
    True. Despite all the hype, the chances of getting a serious case of the virus are very small. Even in parts of the country with many cases, only 1 percent of mosquitoes carry the West Nile Virus, reported The University of California, Berkeley. And if you do get bitten, chances are you won’t even know it – 80 percent of people have no symptoms. Of those who develop flu-like symptoms, only 1 percent of cases are serious.
    
    Most people get enough nutrients from food alone
    True. American diets are low in nutritious foods, according to the United States Department of Agriculture. In 2000, 73 percent of women and 81 percent of men ate fewer than five servings of fruits and vegetables each day. To make sure you get the nutrition you need, eat plenty of fruits and vegetables and take a pharmaceutical-quality vitamin supplement every day.

    Don't Forget that Broccoli

    You’ve heard it time and time again…eat your fruits and vegetables! But do you eat enough? Only 12% of Americans eat the recommended 5-9 servings of fruits and vegetables a day, according to a study conducted by A.C. Nielsen in February 2004.
    
    In the meantime, Americans who ignore fruits and vegetables are putting themselves at risk for many diseases, including cancer and heart disease, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
    
    And despite the “5 A Day for Better Health” media campaign, most Americans still don’t know how many servings to have – only 40% knew that 5-9 servings a day were recommended by the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and the National Cancer Institute.

    Follow these TIPS to get 5-9 servings a day:
    
    1. Buy frozen fruits, vegetables and berries – they’ll last longer than fresh produce and are easy to prepare.
    
    2. Treat yourself – prepare fruits and vegetables in tasty ways. For example, toss frozen blueberries into vanilla yogurt (as the blueberries melt, they’ll create a delicious sauce).
    
    3. Take it with you – for an on-the-go snack, grab a banana, apple, or a small bag of baby carrots.
    
    4. Try new things – try a new fruit or vegetable every month. There are many exotic selections out there.
    
    5. Supplement your diet – Fill in dietary gaps with targeted nutrition in a form your body can easily absorb, such as the whole food concentrates found in TriVita’s VitaDaily™ AM/PM 
    
    Fortify your body with the feel-great, disease-fighting, round-the-clock nutrition of TriVita’s VitaDaily™ AM/PM

    Eating Out

    Do you love to eat out? Though going out to eat is fun, it may make it harder to eat well. A new study shows that people who eat out often may have a harder time getting enough fruits and vegetables in their diet, according to research from St. Louis University.
    
    The study found that 73% of young parents in Missouri didn’t eat the recommended 5-9 servings of fruits and vegetables – the more they ate out, the harder it was for them to get enough fruits and veggies.
    
    Why does it matter? Not eating 5-9 servings of fruits and vegetables every day impacts your health by increasing your risk for many diseases. Diet is related to cancer, heart disease, diabetes, stroke, liver disease and osteoporosis.
    
    You don’t need to avoid all your favorite meals, but look for ways to bring fruits and vegetables into your diet. Chances are, there is at least one fruit or vegetable you really enjoy – start by eating this favorite often and then introduce yourself to other healthy choices.

    When eating out, scan the menu for fruit and vegetable based dishes. Order a vegetable soup, a side of fresh fruit, or a colorful salad. Every time you add tasty vegetables to your meal, you’ll know you’re fighting disease.
    
    Did you know? Over half of all cancer cases are diet-related in American women, according to statistics from the American Medical Association.

    Get Glowing Skin

    Wouldn’t it be great to have healthy, glowing skin? Did you know that the foods you eat, the beverages you drink and the things you do during the day effect how your skin looks and feels? If your skin is starved of the nutrients it needs, it can look dry, dehydrated and unhealthy.
    
    • Drink plenty of water – drink at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water every day. Dehydration can lead to dry, dull-looking skin. Just think of a plant that hasn’t been watered versus a lush, green plant. Water makes the difference.
    
    • Eat a “healthy skin” diet – fruits and vegetables rich in antioxidants help your body combat skin-damaging free-radicals. Omega 3s, found in walnuts and some types of fish help reduce inflammation, which can help puffy skin. Also get plenty of Vitamin A, found in dark green and orange vegetables, and Vitamin E, found in many nuts, wheat germ and sunflower oil.
    
    • Limit high fat/low-nutrient snacks – including: chips, candy and fried foods. Snack on tasty fruits, vegetables or nuts instead.
    
    • Don’t smoke – smoking can prematurely age your skin. It also harms your overall health, making it difficult to get that healthy glow.
    
    • Limit alcohol – drinking alcohol dehydrates your skin and can make skin appear older.
    
    And don't forget
    • Wear sunscreen – the sun’s harmful rays can lead to skin cancer. They can also lead to dry and wrinkled skin. Wear sunscreen every day, even in cloudy or rainy weather.
    
    • Use moisturizers – put moisture back into your skin with lotions and body products that are free from toxic chemicals, such as TriVita’s pure.™ lotion, body wash, and hand wash.

    The New Food Guide Pyramid

    You know you need to eat healthy… but with all the conflicting health advice, do you really know what you should be eating?
    
    The new food guide pyramid was announced last Tuesday by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. It's the first time in 13 years the food guide pyramid has changed.
    
    The new pyramid emphasizes fruits, vegetables, grains, and smaller amounts of meats, oils and fats. And unlike the old “one-size-fits-all” advice, the new pyramid takes into account age, level of activity and other individual information on the website: www.mypyramid.gov 
    
    . Make half your grains whole – eat at least 3 ounces a day
    . Vary your vegetables – try dark green or orange
    . Focus on fruits – try fresh, canned, dry or frozen
    . Get your calcium – look for low-fat sources
    . Go lean with protein – look for trimmer cuts of meat and try beans and nuts
    . Know what to limit – go easy on solid fats like butter, margarine and shortening and get most fat from nuts, fish and vegetable oils
    
    The new pyramid also recommends exercising for 30 minutes a day to maintain weight and 60 minutes a day for weight loss.

    Boost your immune system

    If you find yourself catching every bug around, your immune system may not be as strong as it should be. And with the weather growing colder and flu vaccine shortages, it’s more important than ever to boost your general health.

    Everyday things can weaken your immune system – stress, smoking, pollution, an unhealthy diet, negative emotions, and lack of exercise. To boost your immune system follow these tips:
    
    Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables
    They’re full of free-radical-fighting antioxidants, which help keep your cells healthy.  Add an extra fruit or vegetable to each meal, and take a specialized supplement, such as TriVita’s Super Antioxidant Complex™
    
    Reduce Stress
    Stress creates harmful reactions in your body that strain your system and make it easier to get sick.  Write about stress, talk to friends, make a plan to deal with it, or simplify your life.
    
    Exercise
    Working out reduces stress while it boosts your immune system. You’ll also get the added benefit of increasing your general health.  Even a brisk walk helps.
    
    Wash your hands
    Washing your hands often will prevent germs from spreading.  Be sure to wash up before eating or touching your face - especially your mouth, nose and eyes.

• Could Vitamin C save your life Could Vitamin C save your life?

  • From: Trivita
  • Description:

    

    Could Vitamin C save your life?

    A new study published in the April 2004 Journal of the American College of Nutrition found that diets rich in Vitamin C reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke and cancer. The study, conducted by University of California researchers, found that Vitamin C lowers levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), a marker of inflammation which increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, Alzheimer's and most other degenerative diseases.

    Are at Risk?
    Your risk for disease is higher if you have inflammation in your body, which is marked by high levels of C-reactive protein in the bloodstream. The more C-reactive protein your doctor finds in your bloodstream, the higher your risk. To reduce your risk, make sure you get enough Vitamin C.
    
    How to get your C's
    
    . Fruits: oranges and citrus fruits, strawberries, kiwis
    . Vegetables: broccoli, green pepper, brussel sprouts
    . Targeted Nutrition: including TriVita’s Revolutionary Non-Acidic Vitamin C Crystals™ or tablets, which give you quality Vitamin C without gas, bloating and upset stomach.
    
    Get all the disease-fighting Vitamin C you need without the gas, bloating, or stomach upset with Dr. Libby’s revolutionary Non-Acidic Vitamin C Crystals and Time-Release Tablets.
