One easy way to walk more One easy way to walk more
- From: Trivita

Description:
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.

Excecise keeps you young Excecise keeps you young
- From: Trivita

Description:
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.

Break the excercise barrier Break the excercise barrier

Description:
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.

Description:
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.

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 WeightMales:
(_____________________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.

How to Help Avoid Liver and Ki How to Help Avoid Liver and Kidney Pollutants

Description:
How to Help Avoid Liver and Kidney Pollutants
In a previous Weekly Wellness Report we discussed the toxins that come into our body through our drinking water. What happens to these toxins when they enter our body? Can toxins lead to liver or kidney disease? What are some early signs of liver and kidney toxicity?
Early warning signs
Your liver and kidneys cooperate with another detoxification organ: the lungs. Signs that your liver and kidneys are struggling and pushing the toxic overload through your lungs can include:
. Breathing problems
. Bad breath
. Frequent lung and sinus infections
. Allergies.Toxicity in the liver and kidneys affect another organ of detoxification: your skin. If your detoxification system becomes overloaded, your body will try to compensate for this overload by pushing some of this waste out through your skin. Early signs of this include:
. Itchy skin
. Bad-smelling perspiration
. Discolorations.Eventually, you might even experience a breakdown in your skin when it can no longer handle this toxic load. A good example of this: When someone with diabetes has a toxic level of glucose, cracks can appear in the skin of the feet.
What about kidney/liver disease?
Kidneys
Kidneys filter your blood and ensure that proteins and minerals are in the right balance. Too many proteins from an unbalanced, low-carb diet may injure the kidneys. Too many minerals, such as too much phosphorus from soft drinks will injure your kidneys, and too much sugar will damage your kidneys beyond repair.
So, for good, healthy kidneys:
. Drink pure water
. Eat a balanced, healthy diet
. Avoid concentrated sugars.Many toxins can destroy the kidneys, such as toxic levels of homocysteine and glucose. Still, one of the most common kidney toxins is aspirin, so it should be taken in moderation.
The liver
Many of the toxins excreted by the liver are either absorbed (taken out of your body) by fiber or reabsorbed into your liver. This is why it is so important to eat a high fiber diet and supplement your diet with fiber when needed.
Many toxins can destroy the liver, such as those from alcohol and hepatitis virus. However, the number one reason for liver transplants is acetaminophen toxicity. That’s why I suggest minimizing consumption of any products containing acetaminophen.
Toxic minerals such as lead and mercury can damage both the kidneys and the liver. Protect yourself from these serious diseases by isolating yourself from common toxins and insulating yourself with nutrients and fiber.
Fiber and detoxification
Our liver has a four-step process for detoxification.
1. First, toxins enter the liver, typically from the intestines. They are changed in the liver by an enzyme called CYP, which stands for cytochrome. In the first stage of detoxification the CYP enzyme makes the toxin expand and creates a large surface area – like a sponge.
2. The second stage is to douse this sponge-like toxin with antioxidants and other special nutrients.
3. The third stage is to convert this fat-based sponge to a water base so that it can be attached to fiber.
4. The fourth step in detoxification is to push the fiber and the toxin out through the colon.Now you can see why fiber in our diet is so important. To properly detoxify we must have at least 30 grams of fiber in our diet every day. In many cultures, people ingest 60 grams or more of dietary fiber every day. These groups have the absolute lowest cholesterol on the planet, as fiber helps detoxify cholesterol as well.
Take Control of Your Health
. Always be alert for early warning signs of toxicity
. Isolate yourself from common toxins
. Support detoxification by drinking pure water
. Help keep homocysteine to a minimum with HCY Guard
. Supply your body with the antioxidants you need every day
. Adaptogen 10 Plus
. Super Antioxidant Complex. Help reduce pollutants with dietary fiber such as Peaches & Cream Fiber

Healthy Aging After Retirement Healthy Aging After Retirement

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

High Cholesterol and Heart Att High Cholesterol and Heart Attacks
- From: Trivita
-
Description:
High Cholesterol and Heart Attacks
"Cholesterol screening is currently the gold standard for predicting heart attack risk, but nearly half of all heart attacks occur among men and women with normal cholesterol levels," notes Paul Ridker, a cardiologist at Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston.
Does this surprise you? Most people are shocked to learn how little correlation there is between elevated cholesterol and heart attacks. Let’s look at the benefits of cholesterol, why some may experience elevated cholesterol, and heart attack markers that are more accurate in predicting heart attacks than cholesterol levels.
“Good” cholesterol?
We typically talk about blood lipids in terms of total cholesterol: LDL (bad) cholesterol and HDL (good) cholesterol. We use the relative values of each of these fats in our blood to determine where we stand in terms of disease risk. Unfortunately, these numbers are misleading in half of the cases, leading to a false sense of alarm or security.Cholesterol serves as the raw material from which your body makes many hormones. Vitamin D is made from cholesterol and many life-ending diseases are associated with a deficiency of Vitamin D.
In truth, all cholesterol is good in the proper balance – even LDL! Cholesterol-rich tissues such as brain cells rely on the fats delivered by LDL in order to function at their best. LDL brings the cholesterol from the liver to the place where it is needed; HDL carries unused cholesterol back to the liver for storage, recycling or excretion.
Why cholesterol levels rise
. Increased demand
The most common reason why cholesterol levels rise is to supply an increased demand. For example, when your body needs to nourish brain cells or build hormones or Vitamin D, special messengers will be sent to request cholesterol release from the liver to meet the demand for this important raw material. Once your needs have been met, your body should reduce cholesterol production. However, with unrelenting stress and unyielding demands on our limited resources, the message to stop producing cholesterol may never get through.. Stress
Stress is one common reason why cholesterol levels rise.. Low-fiber diet
Another reason is that we eat a low-fiber diet. Cholesterol is recycled from the liver through the bile into the intestines and back to the liver. In a diet with minimum fiber levels (under age 50: 25 grams for women, 38 grams for men; over age 50: 21 grams for women, 30 grams for men) the excess levels of cholesterol will be absorbed and eliminated. In low-fiber diets the cholesterol is reabsorbed and recycled. The system becomes “closed” and levels rise.. Hypercholesterolemia
A third, less common reason for elevated cholesterol levels is fatal familial hypercholesterolemia – a rare genetic condition that causes cholesterol levels to rise uncontrollably. Statin medications were designed to combat this condition.Reducing cholesterol and heart attacks
As mentioned at the outset, cholesterol levels alone do not serve us very well as determinants of heart attack risk. Homocysteine (HCY) levels are much more accurate in predicting who is at risk, and C-Reactive protein (CRP) is the best predictor for heart attack (as well as many other really bad conditions!).
Elevated cholesterol levels may be reduced with fiber such as TriVita’s Peaches and Cream; elevated homocysteine levels may be reduced with products such as TriVita’s HCY Guard. C-Reactive protein has been reduced quite consistently with essential fatty acid supplements such as OmegaPrime (1–6 grams daily). In medical literature, Omega-3 fats are consistently associated with reduced inflammation and reduced heart attack risk. Interestingly, some people respond well to fish oil while others respond better to flaxseed oil – a key reason why both ingredients are in OmegaPrime.
Learning to listen
High cholesterol levels on a blood test should be viewed as warning signals from our bodies. Elevated homocysteine sounds a louder alarm and high C-Reactive protein levels sound the loudest siren of all. We can translate these alarms into valid communication by learning what each lab value means and learn how to address them in terms of nutrients and nurturing.
Take Control of Your Health
. Have an annual medical checkup
. Test cholesterol: HDL and LDL
. Test homocysteine (HCY)
. Test C-Reactive protein
. Reduce stress and increase nutrients
. Increase fiber intake if needed
. Increase B vitamins for HCY reduction
. Increase Omega-3 for CRP reduction
. Exercise 30 minutes most days of the week

CUT YOUR RISK of heart disease“C” how simple: Five smart ways to keep your health on a steady beat
What’s at the heart of good health? Of course, it’s that amazing muscle that sets the rhythm of life: the heart.
To keep our hearts beating strong and long, experts recommend several proven, simple approaches. You’ve probably heard many of them (and if you practice TriVita’s 10 Essentials for Health and Wellness, you’re already doing a lot to stay heart-smart). But one vital area – proper nutrients – may not always be part of the picture when it comes to lowering the risk of heart disease.
#1: vitamins like “C” are key
It’s a sad fact of modern life: Much of our food is so processed and preserved that it doesn’t really nourish us. So, we often miss out on the essential vitamins and minerals needed for good health. This is why it’s so important to take quality supplements that promote a healthy heart... especially Vitamin C.
Vitamin C helps our bodies in several key ways:• Helps grow and repair tissues
• Needed to form collagen for skin, scar tissue, tendons and blood vessels
• Aids in healing wounds
• Repairs and builds cartilage, bones and teeth.
If you asked your heart, though, it would say that Vitamin C’s best work is as an antioxidant. This means it blocks some damage caused by oxidation inside the cells of our bodies. The heart is dangerously vulnerable to this damage, which is often indicated by high levels of homocysteine (HCY).
Unfortunately, our bodies can’t make Vitamin C or store it. So, if you don’t always get the C you need from food, it’s important to take the highest quality Vitamin C supplement available:
Non-Acidic Vitamin C Crystals and Time- Release Tablets from TriVita. (For a great savings offer, see the ad on this page).
#2: help your heart with knife and fork
It’s true: You can eat your way toward (or away from) better heart health. Try to limit the trans fats and hydrogenated oils in foods like margarine, fast foods and fried foods. Also, cut down on refined sugar from cakes, cookies and candy. To lower cholesterol, cook with extra virgin olive oil and garlic for flavor.
#3: Make exercise part of life
To help keep life – and your heart – pumping along, make exercise a regular routine: try for three to four times a week, for at least a half hour per activity. Remember to start off slow, stretch before and after exercising, and drink plenty of water. Be sure to check with your healthcare professional before beginning any exercise program.
#4: Don’t light up, lighten up To lighten the load on your heart, don’t light up. If you smoke, do all you can to stop, and to avoid exposing yourself to secondhand smoke. Both of these can cause heart disease.
#5: Check in with check-ups Your regular health check-ups should include blood tests for four different substances that can indicate possible heart disease. These are:
cholesterol, triglycerides (fats), homocysteine and C Reactive Protein. Let these fi ve steps move you toward a healthier heart, a healthier you.French Montreville

Could B-12 curb the Bipolar ep Could B-12 curb the Bipolar epidemic

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),French Montreville

Give yourself the night off Give yourself the night off

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.
