Want an easy way to walk more? Try a pedometer. A new study shows that people who use pedometers walk much farther than people who don't.
A pedometer clips onto your belt and tracks how many steps you take each day. At the end of the day, you simply look at the digital display and see how many steps you have taken.
The study, published in this month's Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, found that overweight, inactive women did better when they were given a pedometer and told to take 10,000 steps, compared to women who were given a sealed pedometer and told to walk for thirty minutes.
When women could count their steps using the pedometer, they not only met the goal, they walked an average of 2,000 steps extra on days they went on walks. And on other days, they still walked more than they usually did. Women who couldn't see their pedometer's display did go on the 30 minute walk sometimes, but when they didn't, they weren't as active as the other women.
Write it down – jot down the number of steps you've taken during the day and you'll have a record of how far you really are walking every day. Even on un-energetic days, you'll see your past successes down on paper.
Notice those steps – you may be surprised to see how many steps you take running an errand, strolling through a store, or even walking to the mailbox. Notice how many steps you take doing everyday things and you'll stay motivated.

If you’re young at heart, your heart might be younger than you realize. A new study shows that athletic older adults have young, flexible hearts – with about half the stiffness of sedentary adult’s hearts. Exercise seems to be the fountain of youth for the heart – it can actually keep heart muscles flexible, which reduces the risk of heart failure. And since heart failure is the number one cause of hospitalizations for people over 65, this is important news.
In the study, the hearts of nationally-ranked senior athletes were so healthy, researchers couldn’t tell them apart from young people – the athletic senior hearts pumped as well as the hearts of healthy people half their age.
The study, published in the September 2004 issue of Circulation, a journal of the American Heart Association, compared senior athletes (average age 68) with sedentary seniors, and young sedentary adults. Researchers found that activity influenced heart health, even for older adults.
Walk - a stroll around the block is great exercise and fun too! Clip a pedometer on your belt and see how quickly those steps add up to better health.
Dance – silly or serious, it gets your heart pumping. Put on your favorite song at home, or go to a social dancing event.
Swim – if there’s an indoor pool near by, splash your way to health. You don’t need to be a perfect dolphin-like swimmer, just enjoy moving.

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.

Did you know that the simple act of walking benefits your body in incredible ways? This low-impact activity reduces your risk of the number one cause of death in the United States – heart disease. It also helps prevent: high blood pressure, stroke, cancer and diabetes.
- Reduce the risk of nerve damage in diabetics – only 6.5% of walkers had nerve damage, compared with 30% of non-walkers.
- Prevent hip fractures in postmenopausal women – just 30 minutes a day reduces risk by 40%.
- Reduce the risk of stroke in women – experts suspect this is due to maintaining healthy weight, keeping blood pressure at a healthy level, and increasing “good” HDL cholesterol.
To get started, take a stroll through a local park, nature trail, or just step outside and meander through your neighborhood. If the weather is too chilly, try walking around your local mall – many malls offer walking programs which meet before the mall opens – you can meet new friends, exercise and window-shop all at the same time!
Tip: If walking for 30 minutes, 5 days a week sounds challenging, start by walking for one minute a day. Each day, add one minute to your walk – in only 30 days you’ll be walking for 30 minutes! And don’t forget, those little steps you take every day add up – walking to the mailbox, cleaning the house, even walking around the grocery store – use a pedometer to see how quickly little steps add up to big results.

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.

You’ve probably heard about the dangers of prescription medication mistakes – even the most dedicated health care professional can make an occasional error, making it important to take an active role in your own health and safety.
So what can you do? A new study shows one simple thing may help keep you safe.
Researchers found that avoiding the pharmacy during the beginning of the month may help avoid prescription errors. The study, published in the January issue of Pharmacotherapy, found that medication mistakes rise by 25 percent during the first few days of the month – a time when many pharmacies are very busy filling prescriptions for Americans who have just received government checks. Keep this and other tips in mind to help keep your medications safe.
TIPS FOR SAFER PRESCRIPTIONS:
- Avoid the busy time – if possible, don’t pick up your prescriptions during the first few days of the month, which is the most hectic time for pharmacies. If you have to go during the beginning of the month, check your prescriptions extra carefully.
- Always double check – if you can, jot down the name of the prescription and the dosage before dropping it off. When you pick it up, double check it’s the same information on the label.
- If you aren’t sure, ask – if the prescription doesn’t sound correct, call your doctor or pharmacist, or both. You may feel like a bother, but if you don’t bother, you may not be giving your health the attention it needs.
- Let the pharmacist talk – you may be in a rush, but make sure you wait to talk to the pharmacist about your prescription. They may give you important information you would miss otherwise.
- It doesn’t hurt to look it up – if you’ve never heard of the drug you’ve been prescribed, go online and search for information. For example, if you were prescribed a painkiller instead of an asthma medication, and your doctor didn’t have a chance to explain the reasoning behind this, you may want to call and ask.
- Stay aware of side effects – if you notice side effects which concern you, call your doctor. You may not be tolerating the medication well, the dosage may be too high, or... you may not be taking the right prescription.

If you deal with pain that affects your health or activities, you’re not alone. A new study found that pain was a problem for close to one in three employees at a Fortune 100 company.
Researchers found that lost days at work and productivity from pain is a major problem. Four common conditions that cause pain – arthritis, back pain, headaches and musculoskeletal problems – cost more than $62 billion in lost work productivity a year.
A link was also found between pain and overall health. Pain appeared to be connected with a 23% decline in mental health and 45% drop in physical health. The study was published in the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine.
PAIN TIPS:
- Talk to your doctor – ask your health care professional about your pain. Weigh the pros and cons of options your doctor suggests, talk to friends and family and make the decision that is best for you.
- Try deep breathing – try taking in slow deep breaths. Focus your attention on the feeling and sound of your breath as you breathe in. As you exhale, imagine you're breathing out the pain.
- Stay active – though pain will likely discourage you from wanting to move and be active, look for exercises and activities you can safely do. Exercise improves circulation, which can help improve pain for some people.
- Stop the pain. Start doing what you want. Get TriVita’s soothing Quick-Relief Gel™ today. To learn more about this product, visit www.trivita.com/13011183

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?
