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.™

People’s needs are as individual as people themselves. There are basic needs such as food, warmth and shelter that we all share as human beings. Maybe you donate money or time to a charity that helps provide just those things (and if you are not currently doing so, you might want to ask around for a worthy organization that provides basic needs for the less fortunate).
But there are other needs - often invisible needs - found in the people around you. It’s almost certain that the people you meet and interact with carry some amount of stress, discomfort, illness, or worry. You can help those around you by being sensitive to these unspoken needs and being an open ear, a warm hug, and bright smile for those who need it most.
Asking questions
“How are you?” is sort of a routine question these days. Get specific. If you know about a particular worry someone has, ask about it if it’s appropriate. Or ask what the person did yesterday; this invites a more specific response and may clue you in to a particular need in that person’s life.
Listening
Asking questions doesn’t mean much if you don’t listen to the response. Devote your full attention to the person speaking to you. Make eye contact. In your mind, make mental connections with the person’s difficult situation and relate it to something similar in your own life. What did you need most from others at that time?
Praying
Not only should you pray for the needs of others, but if you know you could be a little more sensitive – and most of us could be – go ahead and ask God to help you in this area. You’re here to do His will, after all, and helping those around you is always on His agenda for your life.
TriVita’s Sublingual B-12, B-6 & Folic Acid.™ contains the perfect mixture of vitamins needed to boost your mood and energize your day. As you listen to others and become more sensitive to their needs, see if any of their needs include words like energy, or better mood. If you’ve been helped by TriVita’s patented B-12 tablets, why not pass it along to someone else as a Gift of Health?

Lost your keys? Forgot your wallet? Misplaced your purse? It’s easy to forget a thing or two, especially when you’re under stress or feel overwhelmed with details.
Follow these tips to give your brain a break:
Write it down:
When you write things down, it helps you remember. And if you still forget, at least you’ll have the information written down. Keep notepads by the phone, in your car and a small one in your pocket or purse.
Leave yourself notes:
Write down notes to yourself and stick them in unusual places where you’re sure to see them -- if you need to remember something before you leave, put a big note on the door knob.
Use memory tricks:
If you need to remember a list of things, use the first letter of each phrase and spell a word. For example, if you need to take your cat the vet, arrange the flowers, and balance your checkbook, take the first letter of each phrase and spell “C-A-B.” It’s easier to remember one word than 3 phrases.
Make lists:
Lists not only help you remember, but help you organize. As you’re writing your list, you can separate it into categories like: to-do, to-buy, etc. This makes it easy to combine tasks, which will save you trips.
Pratice:
Practice really does make perfect. Playing puzzle and memory games will exercise your mind, make you sharper and improve your memory. Chances are there is someone in your life who would love to challenge you to a game!
Use alarms:
Use the alarm on your clock, watch, oven, cell phone, or PDA to remind you. Sometimes a loud, annoying buzz is all you need to remember to do something.

You know about Vitamin B-12’s ability to improve energy, mental clarity and emotional balance, but have you heard it may also benefit your bones?
A new study found that Vitamin B-12 and folate supplements may help stroke patients reduce their risk of hip fractures.
During the study, stroke patients were given folate and Vitamin B-12. The patients' levels of toxic homocysteine dropped dramatically – a 38 percent decrease. And only six patients fractured their hips during a two-year period, much less than the 27 people in the control group who did not receive the supplements.
People who didn’t get the supplements also had homocysteine levels that were 31 percent higher.
The study was published in the March issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.

You or someone you know may be a caregiver to a loved one who is ill or otherwise restricted to home care. The person being cared for no doubt has very specific needs relating to their health and well-being, however, being a caregiver carries with it certain risks that cannot be ignored. Stress can be the caregiver’s greatest foe.
Everyone experiences stress at one time or another, and frequent or prolonged stress is bad for anyone. For caregivers, stress can affect not only the caregiver but the person being cared for as well. Stress has an effect on your physical, emotional and spiritual health, and that can affect how well you are able to provide care. Here are some suggestions to reduce your level of stress:
Maintain social contacts.
Feelings of isolation or loneliness increase stress. Make sure you are taking the time to enjoy your own life with your friends.
Ask for help.
Being a principal caregiver is a full-time job, but everyone needs a break. Don’t feel as though you and you alone are responsible for care; ask for help shopping, cleaning, or whatever would take strain off of you.
Eat nutritiously, enjoy activity, and sleep peacefully.
Eating nutritious meals with plenty of vegetables, drinking water, getting at least 30 minutes of exercise a day, and getting a full night’s sleep is critical to your physical health. Once you start feeling sick, your ability to provide care will decrease, putting additional stress on you. Take care of your body!
Get informed.
The Older Americans Act Amendments of 2000 established the National Family Caregiver Support Program (NFCSP). The program was developed by the Administration on Aging of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. NFCSP was modeled in large part after successful programs already in place in several states. For more information and help, visit the National Family Caregiver Support website.
Your job as a caregiver is a major responsibility, and one that many people would sooner pass up. Give yourself the credit you deserve for your hard work, and keep your personal health at the top of your priorities to better serve the one you are caring for.

Could B-12 curb the Bipolar “epidemic?”
Key studies indicate that this essential vitamin can help treat a growing disorder by Dr. Scott Conard, M.D.
For years, my colleagues in medical research have been looking into the links between vitamins, minerals and mental disorders. Is there a link between conditions like bipolar disorder and Alzheimer’s disease, and could they be better controlled if everyone enjoyed enough of the essential nutrients necessary for productive, healthy lives?
While this research is still underway, we do know that the number of people, young and old, being diagnosed with bipolar disorder (it used to be called manic-depression) continues to climb. Mental health experts estimate that some 5.7 million adults are affected by the highs and lows of this very serious problem. The trend is especially disturbing when you look at what’s happening with children under 18. A research paper published in a psychiatric journal recently reported this shocking statistic:
The number of youths diagnosed with bipolar disorder is 40 times higher than it was 10 years ago. So it isn’t surprising that some are calling this mood disorder an epidemic. You might have even seen a Newsweek cover story on this topic in a recent issue.
Dramatic evidence that a vitamin powerhouse can help boost mental w...
Bipolar disorder is classified as a medical illness, and those who suffer from it experience extreme swings in mood, energy and ability to function.
While strong prescription drugs are often prescribed to treat this problem, there can be dangerous side effects. And, not everyone can or should take these pharmaceutical medications. That’s why, if you or someone in your life struggles with mood issues, it is vital to work on ways to control stress, remain very active, and get a balanced diet, including appropriate supplements, in particular B-12.
Studies have shown that those who have a B-12 deficiency can experience symptoms caused by decreased mental and nerve functioning. These symptoms can include mental confusion and forgetfulness, mood swings and even psychotic behavior like seeing and/or hearing things. A B-12 deficiency can also lead to shaky movements and walking unsteadily (ataxia), loss of bladder control, vision problems and muscle weakness. Because of these associations, one of the first things I do when people complain of these problems is make sure they are getting enough of the essential vitamins like B-12.
Who’s at risk, what you can do If you’re an older adult, a strict vegetarian, or have thyroid, liver or kidney problems, you’re at risk for B-12 deficiency. As we age, our bodies may become less able to absorb some vitamins efficiently, especially in the case of Vitamin B-12. Without enough B-12, other vitamins like folate and B-6 cannot function normally within the body.
As a doctor, I know the importance of maintaining appropriate levels of these essential vitamins, especially Vitamin B-12. That’s why I encourage you to join the millions of people every day who take TriVita’s Sublingual B-12, B-6 & Folic Acid.™
The original, patented formula behind Sublingual B-12 gives you an excellent, of the daily recommended intake of B-12, B-6 and Folic Acid. Unlike injections, or pills that you swallow, Sublingual B-12 dissolves under the tongue. That’s the painless, easy way to make sure it gets into your bloodstream to give you maximum absorption and maximum benefit.
A note of caution: There are lesser-quality B-12 brands on the market that may promise more mental clarity, mood balance and energy, but they may not deliver. When you choose TriVita Sublingual B-12, you get Dr. Libby’s original, patented formula, manufactured to pharmaceutical standards.
It’s encouraging to work in a medical community that continues to discover the important links between vitamins and mental health. As you continue your own Sublingual B-12 daily regimen (and recommend it to others),

Donate blood and get involved
Someone in North America needs blood every two seconds. That makes for a high demand of useable blood, yet only five percent of eligible people donate every year.
We cannot live without our blood, and hospitals require it daily to keep patients alive. It only takes a few minutes to save a life; the time it takes to go on a lunch break, look at a morning paper, or take one coffee break.
Giving blood is just one way of Practicing Gratitude and showing your support and thanks for the dedicated medical workers whose job it is to be there in times of crisis. It’s one of the fastest and easiest ways to get involved in your community. And why not take an extra step and encourage others to donate too.

Artery Disease
Scientists have discovered yet another benefit of B Vitamins. Researchers from the University of Verona School of Medicine in Italy have found a link between low levels of Vitamin B-6 and increased risk of artery disease.
This is an important finding, especially since 50 to 90 percent of senior Americans don’t get enough Vitamin B-6, according to the July 2004 issue of Tufts University Health & Nutrition Letter. Scientists also found that people with low B-6 levels tended to have high levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), a marker of inflammation that increases disease risk.
B-6 Tips
Eat plenty of bananas, chickpeas, chicken, tuna and sweet potatoes.

Give yourself the night off
Does your schedule tonight look something like this? Pick up kids, grocery shopping, drop off kids, start dinner, call Aunt Gladys, wash dog, call Uncle Frank, serve dinner, help spouse with project, put gas in car... feel free to fill in your own little errands.
If your evenings look anything like this, it’s time to give yourself the night off! Day in and day out, night after night, stress builds up in your body, and stress heads straight for your heart, where it can cause a variety of health problems. If you want to keep going at full-speed, you have to slow down once in a while!
. Go to a local theatre for a live play.
. Pack a picnic dinner and head to the park.
. Go to a drive-in movie.
. Check out what evening programs are offered at your library.
. Window shop downtown.
. Walk to a frozen yogurt shop.
Whatever you decide to do on your night off, the point is simple: Don’t Worry! Make whatever preparations you need in advance, so when your night off comes up, you can enjoy it! Let stress melt away; take deep breaths and enjoy the evening. You’ll be glad you did.
B vitamins help protect your heart from being damaged, and increase your energy level. Your options? Painful, expensive B-12 injections... swallowed pills that don’t get into your bloodstream... or Dr. Alfred Libby’s original Sublingual B-12, B-6 & Folic Acid, which dissolves under your tongue and speeds B vitamins through your body.
Sublingual B-12, B-6 & Folic Acid is the perfect compliment to both busy nights and nights off, because you’ll have the energy you need to work hard and play hard! To learn more about this product.

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.

Exercise and Alzheimers
If you're concerned about Alzheimer's Disease, you may want to get out your walking shoes. A new study shows exercise helps keep the brain healthier – and it may slow down the disease.
The study, published in April's issue of The Journal of Neuroscience, found that animals who exercised for five months had half as much amyloid plaque in their brain – a clumpy substance found in the brains of Alzheimer's patients, compared to couch-potato mice.
Experts suspect that exercise may keep the brain healthy, longer. Though more research is needed, other recent studies have linked walking with reduced risk of dementia – and taking part in leisure activities is also associated with less risk. Both of these studies were published in the September 2004 Journal of the American Medical Association .
. Exercise – activity helps your entire body function at its best, including your brain.
. Activity – the more you challenge your mind, the better. Learn something new, do a puzzle, or enjoy any mind-challenging activity.
. Leisure – spending time doing leisure activities may also help, according to research. So enjoy that game of golf or that lovely afternoon in the garden.
