    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

    Low on energy?

    You might not be getting enough magnesium. A study published in the Journal of Nutrition, found that magnesium deficiency impacts the way you feel, especially your energy level. Researchers found that people who didn’t get enough of this essential macromineral needed more oxygen during exercise than people who had enough magnesium. If your magnesium "batteries” aren’t charged, you’ll likely feel more tired than usual, even when not exercising.
    
    Other research has shown that not getting enough magnesium can lead to muscle weakness, irregular heartbeats, bone weakening and headaches.

    Calcium May Cut Cancer Risk

    A new study shows that calcium may help reduce the risk of colon cancer, the third most common type of cancer in America. Getting calcium from both food and supplements seems to reduce risk the most.
    
    The study followed 45,000 women with an average age of 62 for 8.5 years. Women who consumed the most calcium in their diets (412 milligrams or more per day) and took the most calcium supplements (800 mililgrams per day) had a 46% lower risk of colon cancer, compared with women who did not eat as many foods rich in calcium and took fewer supplements.
    
    The study was published in the January issue of Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention.
    
    Calcium is present in many foods such as leafy green vegetables, salmon and dairy products – however, it’s often difficult to absorb adequate calcium from food alone or poor quality supplements. Make sure you take a quality calcium supplement that your body can absorb, such as TriVita's VitaCal-Mag D™.
    
    Did you know? Of all the minerals in your body, calcium accounts for the largest percentage – from 1.5 to 2 percent. Most of the calcium in your body is used in your bones and teeth, but about 1 percent of it is used in your nerve cells, blood, body fluids and tissues.
    
    Get the quality calcium you need – with 5 forms of chelated calcium – and the perfect amounts of magnesium, Vitamin D and phosphorous for optimum absorbtion – with TriVita’s doctor-fomulated VitaCal-Mag D™.

    Love Your Pearly Whites

    Caring for your teeth and gums – no matter what condition they are currently in – is important to your health. Of course, most people want a mouth full of strong white teeth just so they look good; but dental care is about a lot more than flashing a bright smile.
    
    Studies have proven that poor dental care can lead directly to heart disease. Your gums are particularly vulnerable to infection, and infections can get into your bloodstream – and from there to the rest of your body, including your heart – through gums that are unhealthy.
    
    Take care of your smile today by:
    . Making an appointment with your dentist if it has been more than six months since your last check-up and cleaning. Realize that dentist visits are not the terrible experience they might have been 10 or 20 years ago; fear of the dentist isn’t reason enough to risk heart disease!
    
    . Brushing and flossing at least twice a day. It just takes three weeks to make flossing a lifetime habit. Remember - any bleeding that occurs the first couple of days will stop as your gums toughen up. Ask your dentist how to floss if you’re not certain you are doing it right.
    
    . Drinking pure water. In addition to helping your entire body, drinking water helps clean your mouth during and after meals, and doesn’t promote tooth decay like soda and other sugary drinks.
    
    Protecting your heart begins with protecting your mouth: what you eat and how you care for your teeth and gums makes all the difference. Your teeth are designed to last a lifetime; whether they do or not is up to you!
    
    TriVita’s VitaCal-Mag D™, with five unique forms of chelated calcium, is excellent for helping to strengthen teeth and bones, and helping prevent the bone loss that leads to osteoporosis. Fortified with Vitamin D™, magnesium, phosphorus and other nutrients, VitaCal-Mag D makes a great addition to caring for your body!

• Protecting Against Osteoporosi Protecting Against Osteoporosis

  • From: Trivita
  • Description:

    Protecting Against Osteoporosis

    By Dr. Minshew

    According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, ten million people in North America have Osteoporosis; eighty percent of those affected by Osteoporosis are women. One in two women and one in four men over the age of 50 will have an Osteoporosis-related fracture as they age. Following a hip fracture from Osteoporosis, one in four people will die within a year (the death rate is twice as high for men as for women), and one in four will become complete invalids requiring long-term care.
    
    What is Osteoporosis?
    To understand the disease of Osteoporosis we must first understand the nature of bone. Your bones are alive. This fact surprises many people, as the common belief is that bones are just accumulations of calcium. But every cell in your skeleton has a lifespan. It is "born," it lives for many years and then it dies. During its lifetime it contributes to your immune system and adds to your metabolism. When it reaches the end of its lifespan, a new bone cell replaces it.
    
    During our youth, there are more new bone cells being born than there are bone cells dying. Our bones get longer, bigger, denser and healthier. At about age 30 the rate of bone cells being born and those dying are about the same. By age 40 the pendulum has definitely swung to the other side and the amount of bone cells that die every day exceeds the few being born. Your bones become thinner, less active and less able to support your body.
    
    Bones that thin too fast are called osteopenic. About 45 million people in North America suffer from bones that are too thin. When a bone becomes so thin that it resembles Swiss cheese (full of holes and pores), the condition is said to be Osteoporosis. This bone is diseased and can fracture with the slightest stress.
    
    Protecting Against Osteoporosis
    The best way to deal with Osteoporosis is to protect against it.
    
    Adults up to age 30 should:
    
    Take a calcium, magnesium and Vitamin D supplement every day.
    Focus their diet on leafy, green vegetables.

    Get at least 20 minutes of direct sunlight on 40 percent of their body every day.
    Perform weight-bearing exercises most days of the week.
    
    Adults over 30 should do the same things. However, bone-building supplements for people over age 30 need to be more aggressive. This is especially true if you have any risk factors for Osteoporosis. Some key areas of concern for adults as they mature include:
    
    The ability to produce collagen – Collagen is like the rebar (reinforcing steel bars) in a concrete foundation: it provides tensile strength and gives the aggregate minerals, such as calcium and magnesium, something to hold on to! Microcrystalline hydroxyapatite (MCHC) is the specific collagen in your bones. It makes sense to supplement your bones with this special collagen and, in fact, people that take enough MCHC can build new, healthy bone cells even into their senior years. We need more MCHC!
    
    Homocysteine (HCY) breaks up collagen. Reducing HCY is critical to protecting against Osteoporosis.
    
    The effects of stress – Reducing the effects of stress is important in conserving your bones. When you are under stress your body’s response is to steal minerals from your bones to fuel the "fight or flight" response. Then, cortisol acts to excrete these minerals through your urine rather than putting them back into your bones. The amino acid GABA helps reduce this effect of cortisol and allows minerals to go back into your bones when you sleep.
    
    The inability to get good sleep – Speaking of sleep, your body produces a hormone called NAMOT (related to melatonin) when you reach stage 4 sleep. This hormone signals your bones to begin repairing themselves. When a person is unable to get deep, restorative sleep, they cannot repair the bone cells that die every day. Methoxytryptamine (5MT) is the protein that your pituitary gland uses to produce NAMOT. Supplementing with 5MT is important for bone health.
    
    Growing new bone
    Regardless of your age or bone density you can slow the bone loss process of Osteoporosis and start producing new, healthy bone cells. All it requires is a little time every day for exercise, sunshine and the right nutrients. The nutrition you need is found in whole foods – especially leafy green vegetables. Supplements can play a critical role by providing the intense, specific nutrients required for restoring healthy bones.
    
    TriVita’s Bone Builder is designed for people over 30 who have risk factors for Osteoporosis. Taking 3 capsules daily will provide you with most of the building blocks your body needs for healthy bones. However, if you have already begun to lose too much bone density, you will need to take 6 capsules every day. The good news is that you can add back more than 5% of new, healthy bone mass every year you follow these steps – no matter how old you are or how thin your bones are. Turn back the clock on Osteoporosis with proper lifestyle choice and intense nutrition.
    
    Take Control of Your Health
    
    Get 20 minutes of morning and/or evening sunlight every day
    Do weight-bearing exercises most days of the week
    Eat 7 to 9 servings of fruits and vegetables daily
    This should include 4 to 7 servings of leafy-green vegetables
    Sleep 7 ½ to 9 hours every night
    Supplement your diet with GABA and 5MT for good sleep
    Take calcium, magnesium, Vitamin D and MCHC every day*
    
    Help reduce homocysteine
    * Younger individuals who are not at high risk for Osteoporosis, have not been diagnosed with low bone density and who don’t consume enough calcium, can help maintain strong bones with TriVita’s VitaCal-Mag D.

• Is Restless Legs Syndrome or B Is Restless Legs Syndrome or Bruxism Affecting Your Sleep?

  • From: Trivita
  • Description:

    Is Restless Legs Syndrome or Bruxism Affecting Your Sleep?

    By r. Minshew

    In the past we have discussed many serious sleep issues. In this report we will discuss two more sleeping disorders that are relatively common. These disorders respond to nutrients and self-care. Because they run in families, the disorders may indicate a genetic requirement for more of certain nutrients than the average person needs.
    
    Restless Legs Syndrome
    The first sleep disruption is Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS). This neurological disorder is characterized by unpleasant sensations in the legs and an irresistible urge to move them. The sensations are typically worse during periods of inactivity and usually strongest at night. This disorder affects other nerves as well. For instance, many people experience the same sensations in their arms.
    
    As mentioned, RLS responds to nutrients and other conservative forms of care.
    
    Biotin – The B vitamin biotin is involved in promoting nerve health. It also improves blood sugar metabolism; there is a strong connection between Diabetes and RLS. When given biotin supplements in relatively large doses, symptoms can improve and may even disappear within a few months. This may be because of improved blood sugar, healthier nerves or some other mechanism. People with RLS are really not as concerned with “why” biotin works; it just does, and that gives them relief!

    Vitamin B-12 and folic acid – RLS also responds to Vitamin B-12 and folic acid. The levels of these vitamins found in TriVita’s Sublingual B-12 and HCY Guard can help still the limb movement. However, there is not enough biotin in either of these supplements to correct a biotin deficiency; more biotin will be needed.

    You can find this increased level of biotin in Peaceful Sleep. These supplements provide blood sugar control and enough biotin to help many people with RLS. Certainly, the one-two punch of B-12 and Peaceful Sleep will provide you with an abundance of these nutrients – and can help relieve RLS for many.
    
    Remember, the “Recommended Daily Allowance” for vitamins and minerals is a mathematical average for average people. Some individuals have greater nutrient needs programmed genetically. These special needs may be demonstrated in bizarre symptoms, such as Restless Legs Syndrome.
    
    Bruxism
    Bruxism is the unconscious grinding of your teeth or tightly clenching your jaw. This often happens when you are asleep but it may also happen while you are awake. Many have thought of this condition as a psychological habit because it occurs most frequently when a person is under stress. However, there may be another explanation of this “stress connection.”
    
    Stress increases metabolism as your body prepares for “fight or flight.” You use up more nutrients as fuel for the stress response. Now, imagine that you were trying to get your nutrients by eating food grown in deficient soil, processed in high heat and packaged in sodium. Do you believe that you are getting all the nutrients you need from this type of diet? You are absolutely not getting enough nutrients by eating the Standard American Diet (SAD). Any stress you face pushes you into “deficit spending” in your nutrient reserves. Nutrient deficiency is common and serious in many people in North America. Stress amplifies this problem.
    
    Calcium and Magnesium – Calcium is a mineral that is in short supply in the American diet. Calcium is crucial in the tense/relax cycle of muscle contractions. Without calcium, a muscle is not able to contract. That is why emergency room physicians will give intravenous calcium to people having a heart attack - to encourage the heart to contract and relax more normally. Calcium allows a muscle to tense and then relax. Magnesium is the “escort” for calcium as it journeys into and out of the muscle cells. The nutrients to begin supplementing with when a person experiences Bruxism are calcium and magnesium.

    Pantothenic acid – An abundant B vitamin in your body is called Pantothenic acid. Panto- is a prefix meaning “everywhere.” Pantothenic acid needs to be everywhere, all the time. This need is dramatically increased during times of stress. If we are following the SAD as mentioned above, we will not have enough Pantothenic acid to deal with stress. This may result in Bruxism for some.

    Peaceful Sleep contains calcium, magnesium and Pantothenic acid. Supplementing with Peaceful Sleep may be enough to completely stop the clenching and grinding of Bruxism. Some people need more minerals, so I recommend OptimaFlex. OptimaFlex contains twice as much magnesium as it does calcium – the perfect ratio – and facilitates both muscle contractions and muscle relaxation.
    
    People are different and so are their nutrient needs. Some people require more Pantothenic acid than can be accommodated in a blend such as Peaceful Sleep. You may have to take a single Pantothenic acid supplement. You need a lot of Pantothenic acid all the time – especially when you are clenching your teeth from stress.
    
    For so very many problems there are simple solutions to be found in proper nutrients and nurturing. The key to wisdom in this respect is accepting that we are not all alike. Learn to listen when your body speaks to you through symptoms. Live the 10 Essentials for ultimate wellness. Sleep peacefully as a foundation for all the great things you have to do!

• Preventive measures can reduce Preventive measures can reduce your risk for osteoporosis

  • From: Trivita
  • Description:

    Combine a healthy diet, exercise, and nutritional supplements to stay active for a lifetime
    
    There are some really wonderful things about getting older – for instance, most of us grow happier as we grow older. We’ve learned what’s important and what isn’t, so it’s easier to relax and let things go. The little things in life are appreciated and we’re not constantly striving to accomplish more.
    
    Surveys show that we experience increasing self-satisfaction in our 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s – as long as we remain healthy. Managing health as we age takes focus, determination, and the right information; but, it’s worth it.
    
    It’s important to manage the health of your bones
    
    If you turn on the television or open a popular magazine, then you’ll probably see one of the many pharmaceutical remedies for osteoporosis – the most common illness affecting bone. The reason why the ads are so prolific is because osteoporosis is such a common condition.
    
    characterized by low bone mass and structural deterioration of tissue, leading to bone fragility and an increased susceptibility to fractures.
    
    One in two women and one in four men over age 50 will have an osteoporosisrelated fracture in his or her lifetime. And even more frightening – the Osteoporosis Foundation reports that if you are over 50 and have a hip fracture, your chance of dying within the next year is 24%.
    
    Although these statistics are indeed discouraging, there are protective measures we can take to maintain bone health. It’s amazing the bone-strengthening benefits you’ll get from a little weight-bearing exercise, a healthy diet, and good supplementation.
    
    What is weight-bearing exercise and how can it help my bones?
    
    Exercise must be weight-bearing, or strengthtraining, to benefit bone. Weight-bearing exercises include tennis, weight-lifting, aerobic classes, dancing, walking, and running. According to doctors, you should aim for doing aerobics at least three times weekly, and it should be continued for 20 – 30 minutes each time. If you exercise for 20 minutes, start out slow and work your way up. Consult your health care provider before beginning an exercise routine.
    
    You strengthen only the bones used directly in the exercise. These exercises seem to stimulate bone formation and build up muscles around the bone. The muscles will pull at the bone, which helps to keep them strong.
    
    Physical activity not only improves strength – but it helps balance and coordination, which reduces your risk of falling.
    
    Participate in a variety of weight-bearing exercises that work both the upper and lower body. If you belong to a gym, exercise machines, such as an elliptical trainer, will exercise your arms, legs, and hips. To maintain bone-building benefits, exercise regularly.
    
    What is a well-balanced diet and how does it help my bones?
    
    How many times have we heard a health care practitioner say to eat a well-balanced diet? Plenty – but what exactly does it mean? When you consider your bones, it means you should eat lots of calcium-rich foods.
    
    According to the University of California, Berkeley Center for Weight and Health, if you are 51 or older, you need approximately 1,200 mg of calcium daily for healthy bones. If you’re 40 – 50 years old, 1,000 mg of calcium is sufficient. (For a complete chart of recommended calcium requirements, go to trivita.com.)
    
    The foods richest in calcium are the dairy products, such as milk, yogurt, and calcium-fortified soymilk and orange juice. Sardines and salmon with bones also offer a high level of calcium. For a chart of foods and their calcium content, go to trivita.com
    
    In order to get 1,000 milligrams of calcium a day, you need to have a calcium-rich food at every meal. For instance, you’d have to eat approximately 350 – 400 mg of calcium at three meals. A cup of milk and a serving of calcium-fortified cereal for breakfast – lunch could include 3-ounces of sardines with bones. Yogurt would be a high-calcium snack, or try calcium-fortified orange juice and two-ounces of almonds. As you can see, you’d have to plan very carefully to get all of your recommended calcium from food alone. (To view a sample menu of high calcium foods, go to trivita.com.)
    
    There are other nutrients that are essential to bone health, such as magnesium and Vitamin D. Both have been shown to aid in the absorbability of calcium. Magnesium is abundant in whole grains, while Vitamin D can be obtained through foods fortified with this essential vitamin.
    
    One last dietary note: avoid carbonated sodas – they are harmful to your bones. According to noted natural health experts, Michael Murray, N.D. and Joseph Pizzorno, N.D., authors of The Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine, carbonated sodas raise phosphorous in the bloodstream. High phosphorous levels pull calcium from bones, which weakens them.
    
    What role does supplementation play in keeping my bones strong?
    
    It’s very difficult to get all of your calcium through diet alone. Also, as we age our digestive systems are less efficient at absorbing nutrients from food, so supplementation is necessary in most cases to reach the 1,000 – 1,200 milligram daily requirement for calcium.
    
    Because your health and happiness are at stake, it’s important for you to choose a quality supplement. TriVita guarantees that our supplements meet the highest standards of quality. Our doctors precisely formulate our products, we test them for purity and results, and we adhere to the safest manufacturing processes.
    
    TriVita’s formulas are physician-designed in the exact proportions so you get the best result. We test many of our formulas to ensure that they do precisely what they’re supposed to do. In addition, we use the latest safe manufacturing processes to ensure that our supplements are top grade.
    
    Are you rebuilding or maintaining skeletal mass?
    
    Bone remodeling is a process that happens when we reach adulthood. Our bones help give our bodies structure, but they are also repositories for minerals that the body uses in other processes. After age 20, calcium and phosphorous are taken from the bone (breaking down), and used in other parts of the body. Food provides the nutrients necessary to replenish and rebuild the bone (rebuilding.) After age 30, the rebuilding process falls behind the breaking down process. This is about the same time many of our bodies start to become less efficient at absorbing nutrients from foods. If we don’t supplement with bone-nourishing nutrients, our bones can grow weaker.
    
    TriVita offers two supplements to naturally support the health of your bones – TriVita™ Bone Builder (rebuild) and VitaCal-Mag D (maintain.) Both are physician-formulated in precise proportions to optimize bone health.
    
    TriVita™ Bone Builder is proven to rebuild bone in university- controlled studies. Using the latest data about nutrients, we formulated our bone rebuilding product to help improve bone density with consistent use. Arizona State University managed a study featuring 114 females and showed that after six months, the subjects who took TriVita Bone Builder consistently had 6% more bone mass than the subjects who did not.
    
    The key ingredient is Bone Growth Factor™, which can only be found in TriVita Bone Builder. It’s an exact blend of nutrients that facilitate the natural rebuilding of bone by activating the cells that are responsible for rebuilding bone.
    
    VitaCal-Mag D is an important supplement that helps to maintain healthy bone mass. Chock-full of 17 bone-nourishing nutrients in balanced proportions, our calcium-mineral blend is a perfect supplement for individuals who are at low-risk for osteoporosis – younger with no significant family history of osteoporosis, eat a healthy diet, and exercise regularly.
    
    Bones should last your lifetime
    
    Stay active, independent, and healthy for as long as you are able. A healthy diet, exercise, and supplement routine is a great way to ensure you’re off to a good start. You can work with a trusted health care practitioner to put a plan into place that will keep you as healthy as possible into your latest years.

    Women - Protect your health with smart lifestyle choices, by Dr. Brazos Minshew
    
    Nutrients and nurturing can help improve heart and bone health, and challenging mid-life conditions
    
    Aging is a great adventure - there's something new to look forward to in every decade. As we grow older, we know and accept ourselves more and that often translates into greater fun and freedom. Unfortunately, greater age also presents greater health challenges.
    
    If we don't take care of ourselves with nutrients and nurturing, we will be faced with more chronic conditions and age-related problems as we grow older. Arm yourself with as much information about health as you can. Partner with your health care provider and actively participate in plans to improve your health. If you're unclear about something, don't be afraid to ask questions - your health is at stake and without it you'll have very little.
    
    October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It's a good reminder to women that they must be proactive with their self-health care. Get regular mammograms and perform monthly self-checks because early cancer detection is so important for successful treatment.
    
    There are other wellness issues that women face throughout their lives that can be helped through self-health care, including protecting against frail heart and bones, and reducing the difficult symptoms of menopause.
    
    Reduce your risk of frailty More of us are living into very old age and frailty is suddenly becoming an important issue. According to Dr. Tamara Harris of the National Institute of Aging (NIA), frailty involves exhaustion, weakness, weight loss, and loss of muscle mass and strength.
    
    If we descend into frailty, it may be nearly impossible for the body to recover. The human body is amazingly resilient, but bodies that are aged and already frail may be in too deep of a health deficit. The best way to plan for frailty is to prevent it as long as possible.
    
    The NIA has identified two factors that contribute to frailty - cardiovascular health and attitude. I also believe that maintaining bone health and helping to prevent age-related breaks is important because broken bones take a lot of the body's resources to heal, which puts nutrient stores at a deficit.
    
    Strengthen your heart
    Exercise is so important - not only does it help maintain heart health, but it also strengthens bones and maintains healthy muscle. By participating in cardiovascular exercise most days a week, you'll help to keep your heart strong.
    
    I also recommend strength-building exercises with resistance bands or weights. Although they don't increase heart rate as much as walking, swimming or bicycling, they have a beneficial effect on the heart and muscles, which is where energy-producing mitochondria live. Without healthy muscles - keep in mind the heart is a muscle - you wouldn't have mitochondria to create the energy you need.
    
    Heart-healthy diet
    Minimize unhealthy saturated, trans fats and empty calories in sugars and white flour. Throw in plenty of fresh vegetables, fruits, lean protein, whole grains and healthy fats from nuts and fish and you've got a recipe for heart health!
    
    The American Heart Association also recommends supplementing with EPA and DHA Omega-3 fatty acids, the kind you'll find in TriVita's OmegaPrime. Studies show that Omega-3 reduces their risk of heart disease. OmegaPrime also contains all four essential fatty acids which may help with decreasing artery-clogging inflammation.
    
    Strong bones = youthful vitality As mentioned earlier, bone health is critical if you want to remain vital into later years. In addition to exercising, add low-fat dairy products or calcium-fortified foods to your diet. Take TriVita's Bone Builder if you are over 50 and interested in maintaining bone health.
    
    In the last issue of the VitaJournal, Dr. Tammy Pon discussed the importance of supplementing with an absorbable form of calcium that has the proper balance of calcium, magnesium, Vitamin D and phosphorous.
    
    Bone Builder has been specially formulated to have a perfect balance of minerals to support bone growth. A 2005 clinical trial proves that Bone Builder improved bone density a net 6% in the hip-femoral area, which is a common site for fracture.
    
    Think young!
    Thinking young will help you stay young. Your attitude about aging plays a big part in the condition of your health.
    
    Menopause - it's important to manage small changes to avoid big problems Hormonal changes can play havoc on everyone's body. I've heard many women in their menopausal years describing feeling betrayed by the body they've been able to rely on for so many years.
    
    Because hormones are declining and other body systems aren't working as efficiently, an imbalance is created that can create unpleasant symptoms such as a sudden 10 pound weight gain, hot fl ashes or night sweats.
    
    Manage "the change" to minimize weight gain and irritating symptoms It's just as important to remove excess hormones as it is to make sure your body is making hormones. Annoying symptoms like hot fl ashes and c-like irritability can be a build up of waste, including an overabundance of hormones your body no longer needs and can't remove.
    
    Whenever you have a buildup that can't be removed, your body creates places to store the waste. Its favorite storage place is fat. If you don't have enough fat, and your body has filled up all the storage in joints and existing fat, your body will create new fat. This is one of the reasons why women gain weight as they approach menopause. Combine that with a slowing metabolism (about 5% every decade) and it's easy to understand why a 10-pound weight gain is normal.
    
    Even if it's the norm, we must be vigilant because becoming overweight increases risks for many illnesses, including diabetes, certain cardiovascular illnesses, high blood pressure and certain types of cancer.
    
    Nutrients that help reduce symptoms by keeping your body balanced Adrenal glands play a part in regulating body temperature - so it's important to keep them healthy to help minimize hot fl ashes and night sweats. Over time, adrenal glands take a beating. They govern the "fight or flight" response that's activated whenever we're faced with stressful or dangerous situations. Because most of us live in a stress-filled environment, our adrenals are always jumping into "fight or flight" mode and they can be exhausted by the time we reach mid-life.
    
    Our lifestyle habits also wear out adrenal glands. Caffeine stimulates adrenal glands and not resting or sleeping enough denies our adrenals the rejuvenation that's so important to maintain health.
    
    Panax ginseng may help promote adrenal gland health. As an adaptogen, Panax ginseng also helps the body maintain balance when it's faced with stress. In other words, the systems don't become activated due to our everyday problems, like heavy traffic and work deadlines.
    
    Chasteberry is used to relieve breast tenderness, irritability and irregular periods. It's believed that it helps to balance out excessive prolactin - a hormone that is produced by the pituitary gland - and in excess is believed to be responsible for the symptoms above.
    
    The pituitary gland also releases a particular hormone called oxytocin, often referred to as the love hormone. If your libido is low, Chasteberry may give it a gentle boost that will help you feel more relaxed and friendly. Dong Quai is a traditional Chinese herb that has been used for centuries to strengthen the blood. Since the 1800's it has also been used as a "female tonic" because it helps ease menopausal symptoms, such as hot flashes.
    
    Balanced Woman provides the nutrients necessary to balance hormones naturally
    All of the ingredients described above are included in Balanced Woman. Our formula is clinically proven to help balance your body and minimize the disruptive symptoms of menopause. In a study by Arizona State University, women aged 43 - 68 experienced significant decrease in menopausal symptoms when they used Balanced Woman consistently. These symptoms include hot fl ashes, night sweats and breast tenderness.
    
    Fatigue and memory hiccups
    Did you forget where your keys were today? How about that dental appointment that you missed earlier in the week? Does it seem as if you're dragging halfway through the day, no matter how much sleep you got the night before? If these little annoyances are happening more and more, then you might be experiencing B-12 deficiency. B-12 is notoriously hard to absorb through food and it only gets worse as we grow older. Starting at age 35 your digestion begins to slow and then dramatically declines at age 50. After age 50, Vitamin B-12 deficiency is commonplace.
    
    The dangers of B-12 deficiency begin with
    fatigue, irritability and forgetfulness. If allowed to progress, B-12 deficiency can lead to very serious neurological problems such as Dementia and Alzheimer's Disease.

    Sublingual B-12, B-6 & Folic Acid remains TriVita's best-selling product because it addresses this common and health-threatening deficiency. The sublingual delivery system delivers nutrients efficiently, so it begins working quickly. If you've noticed fatigue, forgetfulness or an inability to stay focused Sublingual B-12 may be your best solution.

    Lift low spirits with nutritious foods!
     
    Add Omega-3's, folic acid, B-12 and other nutrients to your diet and supplement plan to boost your mood
     
    Even the most optimistic person gets blue from time to time. The good news is if you do feel down in the dumps, you can do something about it.
     
    Healthy foods can be your solution to low-down days. Skip comfort foods that are filled with sugar and unhealthy fats in favor of nutritious meals and snacks.
     
    Help create an outstanding mood with these delicious and healthy food choices. Omega-3 Fatty Acids: salmon, nuts Our brains are about 60% fat; and our moods are controlled by our brains. Knowing this, healthy fats must be a regular part of your diet if you want to help keep your spirits high.
     
    In addition to nourishing the brain, Omega-3 fatty acids help keep the cardiovascular system running smoothly and joints lubricated. You can find them in salmon, nuts and in TriVita's OmegaPrime.
     
    Folic acid and B-12: fortified whole grains (folate), shellfish, salmon and lean beef (B-12) These two B-vitamins may be used to help our bodies create serotonin, a neurotransmitter that may help stabilize mood.
     
    Many grains, as well as other foods, contain healthy doses of folic acid, including: oatmeal, beets, broccoli, lentils, soybeans, mustard greens, beets and oranges.
     
    B-12 can be found in foods rich in protein, including: milk, yogurt, cottage cheese, lean beef, salmon and shellfish. Both of these valuable B vitamins can be found in TriVita's Sublingual B-12, B-6 & Folic Acid.
     
    Magnesium: nuts and seeds In addition to helping Calcium and Vitamin D strengthen your bones, Magnesium also helps keep your smooth muscles operating properly. Deficiencies in magnesium can cause fatigue, irritability and mood swings. You can find magnesium in walnuts and pumpkin seeds. It's also in TriVita's VitaCal-Mag D and Bone Builder.
     
    Vitamin D
    Vitamin D may also help your body increase serotonin production, which makes it a wonderful mood booster. Find it in: fish with bones, fat-free and low-fat milk, egg yolks and TriVita's Bone Builder and VitaCal-Mag D.
     
    And, limit these foods... Refined sugar and flour are notorious mood busters. They increase the blood sugar levels so high, that your body creates a flood of insulin which makes you feel worse than before you ate or drank them. The effect is a nasty roller-coaster of feelings, first shooting your spirit into the stratosphere, before it crashes to the cold, hard earth.
     
    Instead, eat high quality carbohydrates, such as fresh fruit, vegetables and whole grains.
     
    By adapting our nutritional habits to include healthy foods and supplements, we can help keep your spirits up and your health at its optimum level!
