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.

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.

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.

You might not have time to grab breakfast, but do you have time for heart disease? A new study shows that skipping the most important meal of the day may lead to higher “bad” LDL cholesterol and insulin resistance – both risk factors for heart disease. It may also lead to weight gain.
The study, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, followed ten women and asked them to eat breakfast and a mid-morning snack for two weeks. The women then took a two-week break. After that , the women did not eat breakfast or a mid-morning snack for another two weeks.
THE RESULTS?
When the women did not eat breakfast, they ate more during the day – about 100 calories more.
Not eating breakfast also impacted cholesterol – “bad” LDL cholesterol was 60 for breakfast eaters and 70 for those who skipped a morning meal. And total cholesterol was also affected – 121 mg/dL for breakfast eaters, compared with 133 for women who didn’t eat breakfast.
Eating breakfast also seemed to improve the way insulin works in the body, compared to not eating breakfast, leading researchers to believe breakfast may help lower diabetes risk.
Over time, not eating breakfast may influence heart disease risk, according to researchers, since both insulin and cholesterol levels influence risk.

Nearly everyone makes one or a few New Year’s resolutions, and many people find it difficult to keep up on them past February. This year, try these tips to add a little more help to your healthy choices.
1. Talk
Let your loved ones know you are determined to make healthy choices in the new year. Let them know their support is crucial to your success. Ignore naysayers and negativity. You are the one ultimately responsible for your own health, but having a close circle of friends and family offering encouragement can make the tough spots easier to bear.
2. Enlist help
Find a friend to commit to the same or similar resolutions as you. Having someone to answer to can be a powerful motivator. Know there is someone nearby who can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with you as you commit to a healthier lifestyle.
3. Pray
Always remember that God has your best interests in mind. Nothing is too small a concern to pray for, whether it is drinking more water every day or opening your heart to being a more forgiving person. Daily prayer will give you the confidence you need to succeed.
TriVita’s Sublingual B-12, B-6 & Folic Acid.™ offers more daily energy and mental clarity, two factors critical to sticking with your health goals. One tablet daily under your tongue can also reduce homocysteine levels, which in turn can lower your risks of heart disease, stroke and Alzheimer’s.

It happens to everyone at some time or another: a great big case of the “blahs.” Accompanying the blahs can be sleepiness, boredom, headache, and general crankiness. What can be done to combat the blahs?
Have you kept up your exercise
Exercise releases endorphins that help keep your mood up.
Give yourself the day off
Brew tea, read a book, walk the dog, take yourself out to eat; whatever soothes you... give yourself permission to dedicate time to yourself to relax and rejuvenate.
Call a friend and ask them to cheer you up!
Friends know what tickles you. Maybe all you need is a good laugh with a good friend.
Talk about it
If your blahs are stemming from a more serious issue, talk it over with someone you trust. Blahs that last several days might be more than just the blahs.
Remember that stress can harm your heart, so beating the blahs isn’t just a matter of mood. Taking steps now to reduce blah-related stress will help your whole health over the long term.
Consistent use of TriVita’s Sublingual B-12, B-6 & Folic Acid.™ can elevate your mood as well as help protect your heart. Taken every day under your tongue, this patented formula increases energy and boosts optimism.

Boost your mood
Your mood affects everyone and everything around you. The color of your mood will brighten or darken every circumstance and moment of your life. Attitude is how you look at the world; mood is the feeling and expression of your attitude. The two go hand in hand: a positive attitude tends to lift your mood, a negative attitude darkens it.
Playing with your pets
Pet antics are virtually guaranteed to cheer you. Just relaxing with your pet nearby, giving them a good, long pet will lower your stress level and improve your outlook.
Read a book
Or read the newspaper comics. Doing something to distract you from what put you in a bad mood is always a good idea. Humorous books or comics make it all the more likely to cheer you up.
Exercising
Being in a bad mood means your body is undergoing stress and tension. Burn off the negative feelings with a brisk walk or bike ride.
Talking about it
What seemed to set off your dark mood? Was it a one-time occurrence, or is it a constant stressor? If there is something in your life that is leading to prolonged bad moods, depression, or anger, then it’s time to talk the problem out with someone. A good friend may be all you need to vent your frustrations; in more severe cases, a professional counselor may be in order. In any case, getting the cause of your bad mood off your chest will alleviate its immediate symptoms.
Finally, there are always two sides to every coin: don’t berate yourself if you’re not always on top of the world. It’s okay to feel every mood that comes along; just don’t let the bad ones bring you down.
B-12 can lift your mood and increase your optimism, as well as help protect your heart. TriVita’s Sublingual B-12, B-6 & Folic Acid.™, just once a day under your tongue, can elevate your mood and energy naturally.

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),
