Sonoran Bloom

During my recent Google search for additional information on inflammation, I cam across an article that was first published in the February 24th, 2004 issue of TIME magazine. On of the most ridiculous quotes from this article, at least in my opinion, is "They have discovered that inflammation is critical to many diseases, which they did not know before." [1] What? They just discovered that theory in 2004?

Wasn't it Hippocrates (born around 460 BC), who by the way was called the "Father of Medicine" [2], the one that said, "All Disease is One"? I would imagine if the early so-called medical experts would have taken what Hippocrates to heart, and paid attention to what he was trying to communicate, many of the diseases we have to day could be cured, like "sickle cell anemia ... MS, Lupus, and other autoimmune diseases ... Parkinsons ... Alzheimers ... CANCER ... heart attacks ... DIABETES ... arthritis ... even such simple things as dental hygiene."

What do you suppose Hippocrates meant when he said that "all disease is one?" Do you think he was referring to inflammation? After all, according to medical professionals, "inflammation is a process by which the body's white blood cells and chemicals protect us from infection and foreign substances such as bacteria and viruses." [3]

Studies continue to try and determine not only the source of inflammation but also a cure.

"...inflammation has become one of the hottest areas of medical research. Hardly a week goes by without the publication of yet another study uncovering a new way that chronic inflammation does harm to the body. It destabilizes cholesterol deposits in the coronary arteries, leading to heart attacks and potentially even strokes. It chews up nerve cells in the brains of Alzheimer's victims. It may even foster the proliferation of abnormal cells and facilitate their transformation into cancer. In other words, chronic inflammation may be the engine that drives many of the most feared illnesses of middle and old age." [4]

In an effort to find a cure, many non-prescription products continue to pop up in the market. For several years now, Mangosteen, which according to some studies, is "compared to the strongest anti-inflammatory drug available." [1] I believe, at one time, that may have been the case. However, today we have a new discovery, TriVita's Sonoran Bloom Nopalea™.

TriVita's Nopalea™ (made from the Nopal cactus) specifically targets signs of inflammation in your body and reduces them quickly.[5] Its betalains and other anti-inflammatory ingredients work directly on the fluid surrounding your cells. There, they draw off the toxins and excess water to reduce inflammation and rebalance the cellular environment.

Harnessing the power of betalains, a rare and potent class of antioxidants that flourish in the Nopal cactus, not only helps to fight inflammation, it combats the poisons that attack our bodies on a daily basis. These poisons in our body come from the air we breather, the water we drink, and the food we eat; Nopalea ™ attacks these poisons where they strike us first: right inside the trillions of cells in our bodies.

According to Marcelle Pick, NP OB/GYN, "our bodies weren't designed for modern life. We're sitting ducks to a daily barrage of toxins, infectious agents and stress, seen and unseen. This kind of demand requires a lot of support to maintain your immune's system resilience. Our go-go lifestyle just doesn't make room unless we pay attention - to everything: what we breathe, eat, drink and absorb and feel. It all has a pro- or anti-inflammatory effect, and for most of us, the factors are skewed toward inflammation."[6]

We need to protect our bodies against these poisons on a daily basis, and that's not just the cells inside the body, it also includes your skin. Your skin is a miraculous covering that protects you from harm. Pollution, toxins, radiation and other potentially damaging influences are kept out of your body by your skin; vital organs are protected inside. One of the first signs of aging is thin, sagging, withered skin that is easily damaged. Nopalea's betalains are working outside your body to help protect your skin.

Nopalea™ rushes to these damaged areas to shore up your protective layer. The betalains in Sonoran Bloom Nopalea™ fill in the gaps of your cells (including the cells in your skin) and return them to the firm, robust nature of young cells - at any age. By providing a healthy environment for the cell, betalains keep it from withering.

If it's true what Hippocrates said, "all disease is one", and if the majority of diseases are in some way related to inflammation and toxins, doesn't it make sense to try TriVita's Sonoran Bloom Nopalea™, which has the powerful antioxidant betalains.

If inflammation is the problem - Nopalea™ may be the solution.

Omega-3 and Your Eyes

I've written several articles about omega-3 and the health benefits associated with essential fatty acids (EFSs). In a recent press release concerning a mouse study of the effects of omega-3s on age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the American Journal of Pathology called frequent enjoyment of fish the "see food" diet (AJP 2009).

Age-related macular degeneration causes retinal damage that cuts vision in the center of the visual field (macula)... and is the leading cause of severe vision loss and legal blindness among the elderly.

About one in 10 of people from 66 to 74 years of age develop some level of macular degeneration, making it difficult for them to read, or even to recognize faces.

Here's a quote from the press release from the American Journal of Pathology:

"A diet high in omega-3 fatty acids has been found to protect against a variety of diseases including atherosclerosis and Alzheimer’s disease. Retrospective studies have suggested that diets high in fish oil or omega-3 fatty acids may also contribute to protection against AMD.

A group led by Dr. Chi-Chao Chan at the National Eye Institute, National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, MD examined the direct effect of omega-3 fatty acids on a mouse model of AMD. A diet with high levels of omega-3 fatty acids resulted in slower lesion progression, with improvement in some lesions. These mice had lower levels of inflammatory molecules and higher levels of anti-inflammatory molecules, which may explain this protective effect." [1]

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential to human health, which now includes the eyes, but they cannot be manufactured by the body. For this reason, omega-3 fatty acids must be obtained from food. Omega-3 fatty acids can be found in fish, such as salmon, tuna, and halibut, other marine life such as algae and krill, certain plants (including purslane), and nut oils.

You can also get omega-3 essential fatty acids through supplementation. As a matter of fact many supplements are less contaminate risky than some seafood. Since mercury contanination is a big concern of a lot of individuals, TriVita has taken the extra steps to insure mercury-free omega-3, and it comes in the form of their Omega Prime.

Omega Prime is a supplement that gives you the needed omega-3 essential fatty acids to maintain a healthy omega-3 balance.

Before the recent study, omega-3 was considered more of an inflammation fighter, and a nutrient to protect your heart. As a matter of fact, Omega Prime meets the American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines. One daily dose of Omega Prime provides the amount of Omega-3 recommended by the AHA for healthy individuals, as well as for those who have heart disease or the risk of it.

Start protecting your heart, fight inflammation, and protect your eyes by including omega-3 into your daily diet.

Vitamin B-12

Vitamin B-12 is an important vitamin that you usually get from your food. It is mainly found in meat and dairy products. Vitamin B-12 helps make red blood cells and keeps your nervous system working properly.

It's been noted by many health professionals that stress can interfere with B12 absorption by upsetting the balance of acids in your stomach. It's the acids in your stomach that helps to separate B12 from your food so it can be absorbed by your body.

Studies have revealed that when your body is under any form of stress, it goes into "fight or flight" mode. That's where your body gathers all available resources - nutrients - to "fight" the stressor. It's possible for your body to deplete all these nutrients to "fight" that unwanted stress. It's unfortunate but the B vitamins are some of the first nutrients to be depleted by stress.

Since stress can deplete your body of the necessary b-12 vitamin, it's important to make sure you’re getting your fill of b-12. So, how can we make sure we're getting of daily requirement of vitamin b-12? By eating foods that are rich in b12. The best sources of vitamin B12 are animal products such as meat, milk, egg, and cheese. What about vegetarians?

Vegetarians can wind up becoming vitamin B-12 deficient if they don't check their nutrition level regularly. That's why vegans usually take nutritional supplements to correct the nutritional gap that they are losing when they do not eat meat. Since the recommended daily intake for vitamin B12 is 2.0 micrograms, supplements are the best source of b-12 for vegans. And supplements are the second way a person can get their recommended daily requirement of b-12.

Vitamin B12 deficiency can become a major problem, not just for vegans, for many individuals. And it usually results from inadequate absorption of the nutrients in the digestive system. Stress does interfere with B12 absorption. However, "impaired absorption is typically rooted to the inability of the body to absorb vitamin B12 due to recurring or external factors such as aging, complication, diseases, and other infections." [1]

Out of all the external factors that lead to impaired absorption, I believe age is actually what leads to our largest vitamin b-12 deficiency problem. This also leads to a major healthcare system problem. Why? As the largest portion of our population (the baby-boomers) continues to age the number of vitamin b-12 deficiency is bound to increase, because the older you get the harder it is for the body to absorb this nutrient.

If the baby-boomers don't do something, like supplementing their diet with b-12 vitamins, they will bet taxing our already struggling healthcare system. The best supplement I've found on the market is TriVita's Sublingual B-12. The reason I've found this one to be the best is because of it's patented delivery system. Since we've already discovered that absorption is the major problem, getting b-12 into the body is key, and that's exactly what happens with Sublingual B-12.

With TriVita's Sublingual B12, you can be assured that your body is getting the B vitamins it needs. The original, patented formula bypasses the digestive system, speeding the nutrients directly to your bloodstream, where they can go to work right away.

Without being able to absorb b-12 from the food you eat, and without taking a daily b-12 supplement, your third option would be to get b-12 injections (shots). Most injections require a doctor's office visit. However, there are places where you can buy vitamin b-12 and administer the shot at home. Before using that type of medicine, make sure you get a health care professional to provide detailed instructions and the appropriate use of this medicine. As with any supplement, always contact a healthcare professional, or your doctor.

Don't fall into the vitamin b-12 deficiency trap. If you're aging, and who isn't, ask your doctor or healthcare professional if taking a b-12 supplement is right for you. If they say yes, try TriVita's patented Sublingual B-12.

Sonoran Bloom Nopalea

According to a newsletter I received from Health Resources, they report that it's not just plaque from cholesterol that clogs your arteries. In this informative newsletter I've found more good information regarding the importance of ridding your body of harmful toxins.

"When it comes to heart disease and clogged arteries, you may think it only results from plaque build-up. However, toxic chemicals and heavy metals also lurk in your bloodstream and play an important role in your health. If left to roam around in your body, these toxins can cause headaches, depression, insomnia, abdominal pain, constipation and impaired kidney function." - Layne Lowery, President of Health Resources.

There was also more information from a link that was attached to the newsletter. With that in mind, I like to share some of this important information regarding toxins, and how to rid your body of the silent killers.

Back in the late 1940s, U.S. medical doctors faced a daunting task. Workers employed by battery factories were coming down with lead poisoning. In addition, U.S. Navy sailors painting ships and dock facilities with lead-based paints were also suffering from lead poisoning.

Lead poisoning was, and is, a serious problem because exposure to even small amounts of lead can cause your blood pressure to go through the roof and/or damage your brain, nervous system, stomach and kidneys. To find a remedy, doctors turned to a relatively new treatment: The intravenous injection of an amino acid, EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid).

EDTA was first used in World War II by the British as an antidote for poison gas inhalation.

Based on scientific research, doctors believed EDTA had the ability to grab onto heavy metals like a "claw," and sweep them out of the body. And they were right! So in 1948, the U.S. Navy began to use EDTA to treat lead poisoning. [2]

Fast forward to 2009, sixty-plus years later, and we still have many toxins, not so much lead, that our systems have to fight on a daily basis. Daily, we're exposed to toxins in our air, water and food-and even toxins created by our own bodies. Living with poison in your body can be deadly!

When toxins assault your system–or when injury or infection strikes–your body responds with a complex biological process commonly referred to as inflammation. If this inflammation goes unchecked, it can lead to a wide variety of disorders, from stroke to arthritis to heart disease.

TriVita has discovered the power of betalains, a rare and potent class of antioxidants that flourish in the Nopal cactus. They have found a way to process this fruit from heaven into a daily nutritional drink called Nopalea™. Nopalea delivers scientifically proven health benefits, and combines its betalains, natural antioxidants, with other anti-toxic ingredients to combat these poisons where they strike us first: right inside the trillions of cells in our bodies.

By increasing the activity of CYP-2E1, a special enzyme that neutralizes daily toxins, Nopalea™ protects your cells and vital organs–especially your liver–against the carcinogens, hormone disruptors, respiratory toxins, developmental toxins and neurotoxins that are responsible for one-quarter of all the world's diseases.

Nopalea™ specifically targets signs of inflammation in your body and reduces them quickly. [1] Its betalains and other anti-inflammatory ingredients work directly on the fluid surrounding your cells. There, they draw off the toxins and excess water to reduce inflammation and rebalance the cellular environment.

When you drink Nopalea™, you take these betalains into your system, where they begin to restore your vitality on a cellular level. By helping the body reduce the toxins surrounding your cells and enabling essential nutrients to reach each cell, the betalains in Nopalea can reduce the inflammation in your body that leads to disease.

Sonoran Bloom Nopalea™ also helps to neutralize free radicals. Free radicals are so dangerous, they've been implicated in more than 100 serious health problems for humans and animals. If the free radicals are left unchecked, they can damage cells and DNA, change biochemicals, destroy cell membranes and even kill cells.

Every day your body is under attack by free radicals, through your normal body processes and through the environment. Our bodies are normally capable of neutralizing free radicals. But if there's too much free radical oxidation, your body is overwhelmed. The result? Your free radical system is unbalanced and damage occurs. Free radical damage can accelerate aging and triggers life-threatening health problems. [2]

Fighting these free radicals is crucial to maintain a healthy body. I've already mentioned this but it's so important it deserves another mention; Sonoran Bloom Nopalea™ helps to neutralize free radicals.

If you're worried about the damaging toxins (and not just lead) in your body, or suffer from inflammation, start taking Sonoran Bloom Nopalea today! According to some user's testimonials, Nopalea™ start to work immediately.

"Sometimes my sinuses get so blocked, I can hardly breathe, and it wakes me up at night. Recently, I took a prescribed nasal spray, which hardly gave me any relief. Then, I decided to take my Nopalea™. Within minutes, I felt calm and the inflammation in my sinuses decreased to the point where I could rest comfortably. When I finally got up to start my day, I felt rested, refreshed and was breathing freely again. Thank you, Trivita for Nopalea!"

Nitrogen: Source of Energy?

In a effort to keep the readers of this blog informed, every once in a while I'll post a newsletter I receive in its entirety. Well today is that day. Mr. Brazos Minchew, Chief Science Officer for TriVita, writes in the TriVita's Weekly Wellness Report about energy, and the unexpected source, nitrogen.

I hear people all the time saying how tired they feel. Is being tired the result of a lack of energy? Or is it the lack of energy that makes you tired? Mr. Minchew will try to unpack the theory surrounding our lack of energy. Below is the complete article by Mr. Minchew.

An Unexpected Source of Energy: Nitrogen

Everyone creates energy. However, not everyone feels energetic.

Merely existing is not enough. Being energetic, feeling a zest for life – this is a much better way to live. It's having the resources you need to accomplish whatever you want: to make your dreams come true, or for the smaller tasks of the day. Feeling energetic inspires optimism and healthy self-esteem. Feeling energetic makes you happy and gives you hope.

Real energy
Real energy is more than just a passing mood. It's a complex series of biochemical and electrical processes. In order for you to feel energetic your body must carry out a long series of interactions, very much like a long line of dominos falling over in the right sequence. Each transaction requires the energy from the previous domino, and donates energy to the next domino in line. The end result contributes to the way you feel and your ability to live the life of your dreams.

The first step in the production of energy is eating the basic nutrients: sugars, proteins and fats. Sugars provide a rapid but brief donation of energy. Proteins donate five times more energy than sugar. Fats donate eight times more! These three nutrients make up the basis for energy production and the basis for your future wellness. This makes the selection of your foods very important, so choose them well.

The nitrogen cycle
To make energy from protein we must first process it through the nitrogen cycle. You may remember that the air we breathe is about 78 percent nitrogen. Bacteria in the soil "fix" nitrogen into the earth to grow healthy plants (so does lightning). Fertilizers are mostly made of nitrogen. Without it, plants will not grow and humans cannot process protein; nitrogen is a very important basic building block of life.

We get nitrogen from eating fruits and vegetables. We can also get it from whole-food supplements such as Adaptogen 10 Plus. In our body, nitrogen is stable as nitrate and active as nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is probably the most important source of energy for the heart, vascular system and immune system. Nitric oxide interacts with CoEnzyme Q-10 (CoQ-10) to produce energy inside each and every one of our body's millions of cells. In fact, the death of each cell occurs because nitric oxide and CoQ-10 cannot balance the cell's energy.

Protein and nitrogen needs
We need about 50 to 65 grams of protein each day (about 1/3 gram of protein per pound of body weight). However, we can only digest about 25 grams at a time (the amount that fills the palm of your hand). One reason for this is that we have only a limited reservoir of nitrogen. As mentioned, we get nitrogen from eating fruits and vegetables, but, like many important nutrients, we cannot store it. Since processing protein will use up large amounts of available nitrogen, we need to replace it by eating more fruits and vegetables. So, if we want energy from protein, we simply must eat our fruits and vegetables.

Nitrogen is also manufactured by bacteria in the human body. So, this is why probiotics and enzymes are needed - they also help convert protein into energy through the nitrogen cycle. TriVita's Digestive Complex serves to encourage healthy bacteria in the gut for protein metabolism and increased energy.

The nitrogen danger
There is a dark side to protein metabolism that's found in a particular form of nitrogen: ammonia. Excess ammonia may be formed in our body and brain if we eat protein but do not have enough nitrogen to complete the energy process. This is often seen in people who experience bloating or uncomfortable fullness after a healthy, protein-rich meal. It may also be seen in those who experience excessive fatigue after a meal.

The remedy is to encourage protein digestion with probiotics (as found in Digestive Complex). We can also eat extra servings of fruit and vegetables. Plus, supplements can provide a lot of help. I would suggest one serving of Adaptogen 10 Plus and CoQ-10 at each meal until the fatigue eases and vibrant energy replaces it!

Living a life lacking energy is no way to live. The science behind TriVita's products makes them one of the leading nutritional companies in the US. I'm not a doctor, nor have I ever suggested that I was, but I do know that all of the TriVita products have come about because of thorough scientific studies.

Essential Fatty Acids

Did you know that your brain is made up of 60% fat? And did you know that the neurons that communicate messages to your brain need high concentrations of omega-3 fatty acids to get the job done? If you answered no to one of both of these questions, chances are, you're not getting enough omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFAs).

If you're not getting enough omega-3's—your brain is one of the first organs to feel the effects. And that means...

• Sluggish thinking and mental fog
• "Senior moments" and forgetfulness
• Poor concentration and memory recall
• Inability to learn new things
• Mood swings and sadness

In fact, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that mood problems will become the second leading cause of disability worldwide by 2020. [1]

And researchers say this increase may be due to the fact that we're eating fewer amounts of essential omega-3's. It's suggested that we should not take a chance with our brain health. We need to make sure we boost our levels of healthy omega-3's.

"Regular fish consumption (1-2 servings per week) is protective against coronary heart disease and ischaemic stroke and is recommended. The serving should provide an equivalent of 200-500 mg of eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acid. People who are vegetarians are recommended to ensure adequate intake of plant sources of a-linolenic acid." [2]

If you're not a fish eater, like many people, it's never been easier to get your regular dose of omega-3 because TriVita's Omega Prime contains healthy omega-3's, EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), which are both found only in coldwater fish like salmon and herring.

With a healthy dose of 400 mg of omega-3—you get powerful omega-3 supplementation to help boost your brain and body health.

Other ingredients in Omega Prime are organic flaxseed oil, which contains "alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an essential fatty acid that appears to be beneficial for heart disease, inflammatory bowel disease, arthritis, and other health conditions"[3], and evening primrose oil, which "contains an omega-6 essential fatty acid, gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), which is believed to be the active ingredient."[4]

Omega Prime not only protects the brain, but also meets the American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines for omega-3 intake. One daily dose of Omega Prime provides the amount of Omega-3 recommended by the AHA for healthy individuals, as well as for those who have heart disease or the risk of it.

Now, you can protect your brain and heart at the same time by taking a daily supplement, TriVita's Omega Prime.

Vitamins and Minerals

Vitamins and minerals play an important role the development of strong and healthy bodies. They are found in almost every food we eat. Vitamins and minerals can also be obtained from many supplemental forms, such as tablets, pills, and drinks.

There are many benefits from taking natural vitamin supplements on a daily basis. A change in diet and the use of supplements have been found effective in dealing with depression. Some experts say you can protect your skin by using antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E, in both facial products and natural supplements. Some people even consider taking energy, or vitality supplements to give them natural sustained energy all day long.

There are many diet supplements on the market that offer shakes and snack bars. There are natural supplements for the older generation, weight loss supplements, bodybuilding supplements, and kid’s vitamin products. Nutritional supplements is an expanding market; and it seems like this trend will continue for a long time.

If you're looking to earn some extra income, and/or get your supplements at no charge, joining a company with proven health products may the right choice. TriVita is a company with a proven track record, high quality - scientifically proven products, and a compensation plan to match their products.

The life expectancy of people has considerably increased during the last 150 years and to make sure that your senior years are vibrant ones it's imperative that you lead a healthy lifestyle and eat a balanced diet. It's also vital to get enough sleep and exercise on a fairly regular basis, and remember to take nutritional supplements. They can play an important role in reducing the risk of disease as well as supplying the body with anti-aging nutrition improving its energy and health.

To ensure that you're taking the correct nutritional supplements it's always wise to seek the assistance of a nutritional expert. You can also surf the Internet to see what nutritional benefits each vitamin and minerals has to offer. More than likely, you'll be taking these supplements on a regular basis, so make sure you research both the benefits as well as the disadvantages.

Go back to the basics of eating right, exercising and taking natural supplements. If you're too busy to eat proper, nutritious meals you need to turn to taking nutritional supplements to ensure that your body can obtain what it needs to carry you through your day to day activities.

As mentioned before, TriVita has a full line of high-quality nutritional supplements, and they offer a nice referral affiliate program to go along with their supplements. Living a healthy lifestyle by taking the proper nutritional supplements, and making a few extra bucks while doing so, makes perfect sense. TriVita is the perfect company to help you get started on the path to healthy living.

Vitamin D

"Lab studies have suggested that higher vitamin D blood levels may boost cognitive functions of the brain. And people with impaired cognitive function are more likely to develop dementia, with some small clinical studies suggesting that low levels of vitamin D may be associated with dementia and poor cognitive function." [1]

A previously conducted study found that "people with optimum levels of vitamin D were much less likely to be cognitively impaired. In other words, having too little vitamin D in your body appeared to make it harder to think … a status associated with greater risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other forms of dementia." [2]

A new study conducted by a joint team of British and American doctors have found similar results as in the previous study. They also concluded that vitamin D is a "hormone-like vitamin" that is a "necessary brain nutrient." The study determined that "people with the lowest vitamin D levels were more than twice as likely to have impaired understanding, compared to those with the highest vitamin D levels" (Llewellyn DJ et al. 2009).[3]

The understanding of the role of vitamin D in maintaining optimal health has advanced sharply in the past two decades. There is mounting evidence for beneficial roles for vitamin D in reducing the risk of bone diseases and fractures, many types of cancer, bacterial and viral infections, autoimmune diseases, and cardiovascular diseases.

Recently, several reports have also been published regarding the role of vitamin D in neuroprotection. It should be no surprise that doctors and scientists continue to study the effects of vitamin D deficiency in the aging. With Alzheimer and other forms of dementia on the rise, the search for a cure is ever present.

Vitamin D supplements can be found in every health food aisle of your favorite grocery and drug store. I believe that people understand that a lack of this all important, formerly known, sunshine vitamin causes serious problems to the human body. However, is supplementation the answer?

Within the previously mentioned studies, scientists conclude that "further research is warranted to investigate whether vitamin D supplementation is a cost effective and safe way of reducing the incidence of cognitive impairment in the growing elderly population around the world."

You can learn more about vitamin D, and if supplementation is right for you. Not being a doctor or health professional, I cannot say if you need to take a vitamin D supplement, but from what I've read, I do believe that if I'm not getting out in the sun enough, or eating foods high in vitamin D, I should do something to up my daily intake.

The nutritional experts at TriVita know the importance of vitamin D. That's why they have created VitaCal-Mag D. VitaCal-Mag D provides, five forms of chelated calcium, over 20 bone-fortifying vitamins and minerals, 100% RDI of Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc and Vitamin D, and Chlorophyll-coated tablets that protect valuable nutrients, time-releasing optimal absorption.
