When most people hear the word ‘inflammation’ they think of the swelling and redness that accompanies an injury such as a sprained ankle. However, inflammation can also be systemic and caused not by injury but by lack of exercise and a poor diet. Systemic inflammation increases the risk of cancer, hypertension, heart disease, gastrointestinal problems, and many other health conditions.

In fact, many anti-aging professionals believe that inflammation is the greatest cause of premature aging, so preventing it is also vital for looking young. Taking on an exercise program is one key to decreasing systemic inflammation, and the other key is to consume a diet that does not promote inflammation.

Arthritis, another form of inflammation, is a chronic disease, which means that you can’t completely escape from it by using only medication and other traditional treatments. However, there are some home remedies for arthritis that are considered excellent alternatives because they safe to use, and quite effective.

Inflammation of a joint, or its surrounding tissues, accompanied by pain, soreness, and inflexibility in that area is more than likely a result of causes ranging from infection, distress, degenerative changes or metabolic disorders.

Arthritis has many causes, however, genetics is one of the main causes. When it’s in the genes, it’s possible to experience problems even at a young age. It’s considered hereditary when cartilage, joints, tendons, or muscles are weak and brittle right from birth.

Exercise is an essential means of managing arthritis. Exercise can help reduce joint pain and stiffness, and at the same time can help build strong muscles around the joints, and help to increase flexibility and endurance. Exercise can also give you more energy, can help you sleep better, can help you control your weight, and more importantly, it can make you feel better.

Exercise, diet, and proper supplements can go a long way in providing relief from arthritis and many other forms of inflammation. Eating healthy foods like fresh fruits, vegetables, and fish, especially ones high in omega-3 essential fatty acids, are loaded with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

Eating all natural foods and giving up preservatives and additives can actually prevent future arthritis flare-ups, and help to relieve inflammation. The best medicine for inflammation and arthritis is prevention.

Nutritionists have known for a long time that seafood is a low-fat source of high-quality protein. Eating seafood is one of the best choices for children, adults, and the aging population, and the health benefits are simply amazing. In fact, many studies have shown that eating seafood can decrease your risk of heart attack, stroke, obesity, hypertension, and even decrease, or in some cases, total reduce inflammation.

Inflammation is a process in which the body’s white blood cells and chemicals help protect us from infection and foreign substances such as bacteria and viruses.

"When inflammation occurs, chemicals from the body are released into the blood or affected tissues. This release of chemicals increases the blood flow to the area of injury or infection and may result in redness and warmth. Some of the chemicals cause a leak of fluid into the tissues, resulting in swelling. This process may stimulate nerves and cause pain." [2]

The immune system, a complex array of organs, tissues and specialized cells, protects us from outside invaders, such as bacteria, viruses, allergens and from harmful insiders, such as infected cells and toxins. However, the immune system is not segregated (immune) from disease that attacks the human body.

“Several chronic diseases involve the immune system. The most common are rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, psoriasis (an inflammatory skin condition), and some allergies. In these conditions the immune system overacts and the inflammation that results contributes to the disease symptoms – painful joints, itchy skin, swelling, redness, wheezing, etc. These overactive immune responses can be toned down by the omega-3 fatty acids found in fish. For this reason, the oils in fatty fish, such as salmon, mackerel, herring, rainbow trout, and sardines, can be helpful in reducing the severity of the symptoms of these conditions. Omega-3s cannot prevent or cure these conditions, but they may make a noticeable improvement in the discomfort associated with them.”[1]

A diet that consists of fish high in omega-3 fatty acids can provide an added benefit one needs to ward off disease and illness. However, many people may not like fish. If that’s the case, there are omega-3 supplements, like TriVita’s Omega Prime.

Omega Prime contains a premier and unique blend of four different types of the most highly regarded Essential Fatty Acids (EFA) oils ? Fish, Flaxseed, Evening Primrose and Perilla Seed. It also uses only contaminant-free fish oil that has undergone a 10 stage distilling process.

Start taking control of your health by adding omega-3 to your diet. Take advantage of what the nutritionists have known for a very long time – fish, high in omega-3 fatty acids, is needed to maintain a health body.

You can find additional information on Omega Prime and all of the TriVita nutritional products by going to the TriVita Products page.

Energy drinks, sport drinks, fitness drinks, carbonated beverages, and fruit drinks may not be a healthy choice. Many are filled with excessive caffeine, sugar, or are high in fructose. As many health experts keep saying, “Drinking water is so important for good health.”[1]

Why is water so important? Because “your body is estimated to be about 60 to 70 percent water. Blood is mostly water, and your muscles, lungs, and brain all contain a lot of water.”[1] It’s also a know fact that “your body needs water to regulate body temperature and to provide the means for nutrients to travel to all your organs. Water also transports oxygen to your cells, removes waste, and protects your joints and organs.”[1]

Brazos Minshew, TriVita’s Chief Science Officer, in TriVita’s Weekly Wellness Report, looks at all the alternatives to water. I’ve included the complete article below.

Are There Alternatives for Water? by Brazos Minshew

Healthy Living Essential #2 is Drink Water. Many people don’t follow this Essential for one reason or another. Some use water “alternatives” instead. But I can tell you, with full conviction, that there are NO alternatives to water! You must drink water and you must drink it in abundance.

Pros and cons of water “alternatives”
Let’s look at some of the positive and negative aspects of so-called alternatives to water:

• 100% fruit juice – contains some vitamins, minerals and a lot of sugar. In fact, a 16-ounce glass of fruit juice contains about 50 grams of sugar and 220 calories. Fructose, or fruit sugar, reduces the rate at which we absorb fluid and can actually make you thirstier, leading to over-consumption of calories from juice.
• Sport drinks – often contain fructose or sucrose syrups, flavorings and colorings. The electrolytes, sodium and potassium are helpful for endurance-type exercise or activity, but not necessary for everyday exercise. A 16 ounce sport drink has roughly 30 grams of sugar and over 100 calories.
• Energy drinks – contain vitamins, amino acids, a lot of sugar and caffeine. Although advertised as providing more energy, what they really provide is more calories and caffeine. Added caffeine can be temporarily energizing, but often leads to a rapid dip in energy and can be potentially habit forming. An eight ounce energy drink has about 115 calories and 80 milligrams of caffeine.
• Fitness waters – these waters are laced with an assortment of nutrients, herbs, flavorings and/or sweeteners. These enhancements are usually too insufficient to have any meaningful impact on your health; plus these waters can be costly. As for calories, they can contain anywhere from 10 to 100 or more calories in a 16 ounce drink.
• Carbonated beverages – such as regular or diet sodas can be high in sugar or artificial sweeteners and caffeine. Colas are also high in phosphates, which bind with calcium and weaken bones. Regular soda can contain up to 200 or more calories for 16 ounces.
• Coffee, tea and lattes – are also very popular. But along with the caffeine, they often contain added sugars and fats which can add up to as many as 450 calories for a 16 ounce drink. Since most caffeinated products provide very few nutrients, it is typically advised to keep intake low.
• Flavored waters – are waters with a touch of natural flavoring. By itself, this is fine. Unfortunately, however, many flavored waters contain sugar (some even have more than a can of soda pop) or caffeine and other additives, all of which should be avoided.

In contrast to the water alternatives above, we can get water that is good for us from food. Many fruits and vegetables, for example, are high in water content as well as antioxidants (which is a nice plus). The guideline for consuming the right amount of fruit and vegetables is 5, 7 or 9 servings daily, depending upon our size and gender.

Healthy ways to spice up your water

In summary, we now know two things. First, there are no real alternatives to water – they all have too many drawbacks. And second, water is essential to good health – it helps the body both detoxify and fuel metabolism for energy.

But these two findings present a problem for all of the people who feel that water is just too boring to drink on a regular basis. They are likely to wonder, “Are there ways to make my water taste better? And are there drinks besides water that can help support my body’s detoxification and metabolic processes?” The answer is YES. You can use the recipes below to spice up your water while adding extra detoxification and metabolism support:

• Nopalea Splash: Take 6 ounces of naturally carbonated spring water and add 1 ounce of Nopalea? to it for a hydrating, detoxifying and refreshing beverage that naturally helps reduce inflammation.
• Tea Time 10 Plus: Take 6 ounces of either hot or cold green tea and add 1 ounce of Adaptogen 10 Plus®. You can get the health benefits of green tea coupled with the stress-busting effects of adaptogens. Water: the life-essential beverage

At birth, water can make up as much as 80% of a baby’s body weight. Yet at death, for adults in their 70s and 80s, water often makes up less than 40% of the body weight.

Water is life. And in a sense, dehydration equals death.

Drink Water – and claim the health benefits of this life-giving liquid!

Do you still think alternative drinks are better for you than plain water? As Mr. Minshew mentioned, “there are no real alternatives to water.” Many people may think so, but in all honesty, there is NOT. No matter how much a commercial may try to sell you on there alternative, you may be doing more harm than good (to your body) if you do not drink enough water.

So how much water should you be drinking a day. According to some sources, you can take your weight and divide it by two. That will give you a simple solution as to the amount of ounces of water you should be drinking every day. For example, if you weigh 180 pounds, divide that number in half, which equals 90, you should be drinking 90 ounces of water per day. And, if you exercise, you should drink another 8 ounces of water for every 20 minutes of exercise.

• Nopalea Splash: Take 6 ounces of naturally carbonated spring water and add 1 ounce of Nopalea™ to it for a hydrating, detoxifying and refreshing beverage that naturally helps reduce inflammation.
• Tea Time 10 Plus: Take 6 ounces of either hot or cold green tea and add 1 ounce of Adaptogen 10 Plus®. You can get the health benefits of green tea coupled with the stress-busting effects of adaptogens. Water: the life-essential beverage

At birth, water can make up as much as 80% of a baby’s body weight. Yet at death, for adults in their 70s and 80s, water often makes up less than 40% of the body weight.

Water is life. And in a sense, dehydration equals death.

Drink Water – and claim the health benefits of this life-giving liquid!

Do you still think alternative drinks are better for you than plain water? As Mr. Minshew mentioned, “there are no real alternatives to water.” Many people may think so, but in all honesty, there is NOT. No matter how much a commercial may try to sell you on there alternative, you may be doing more harm than good (to your body) if you do not drink enough water.

So how much water should you be drinking a day. According to some sources, you can take your weight and divide it by two. That will give you a simple solution as to the amount of ounces of water you should be drinking every day. For example, if you weigh 180 pounds, divide that number in half, which equals 90, you should be drinking 90 ounces of water per day. And, if you exercise, you should drink another 8 ounces of water for every 20 minutes of exercise.

Fighting Inflammation

I’ve been writing about omega-3 fatty acids for some time now. Research continues to show how important these fatty acids really are to the human body. The latest study at the University of Pittsburgh confirms what previous studies have found. “Scientists at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine went on a molecular fishing trip and netted a catch of new mediators that not only can explain how omega-3 fatty acids reduce inflammation, but also hint at novel treatments for a host of diseases linked to inflammatory processes.” [1] Before I continue with this study, let’s take a look at what omega-3 fatty acids are, and the health benefits behind them. To do so I’ve included a quote below from the University of Maryland Medical Center’s web site: “Omega-3 fatty acids are considered essential fatty acids: They are necessary for human health but the body can’t make them — you have to get them through food. Omega-3 fatty acids can be found in fish, such as salmon, tuna, and halibut, other seafood including algae and krill, some plants, and nut oils. Also known as polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), omega-3 fatty acids play a crucial role in brain function as well as normal growth and development. They have also become popular because they may reduce the risk of heart disease. The American Heart Association recommends eating fish (particularly fatty fish such as mackerel, lake trout, herring, sardines, albacore tuna, and salmon) at least 2 times a week.” [2] All of the research I’ve found concurs that “omega-3 fatty acids reduce inflammation and may help lower risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and arthritis. Omega-3 fatty acids are highly concentrated in the brain and appear to be important for cognitive (brain memory and performance) and behavioral function.” [2] This information is not from a single study, rather from numerous studies over several years in which universities have been doing research. Runaway inflammation can lead to various serious health problems in the body involving the heart, arteries, lungs, joints and more. That’s probably why so much research is being done not only on inflammation but also on nutrients, like omega-3 fatty acids, that fight inflammation. If you’re looking to incorporate more omega-3-fatty acids into your diet, fish is your best bet. The purest choice fish include canned sardines or mackerel, wild Alaskan salmon and sable fish, and small, troll-caught tuna. However, if you’re not a fish eater, TriVita’s Omega Prime is a supplement that’s high in omega-3 fatty acids. TriVita’s Omega Prime contains a premier and unique blend of four different types of the most highly regarded Essential Fatty Acids (EFA) oils ? Fish, Flaxseed, Evening Primrose and Perilla Seed. It also uses only contaminant-free fish oil that has undergone a 10 stage distilling process. Just as research on omega-3 fatty acids will continue, I will continue to write about what researchers find regarding this highly important nutrient.

We seem to live in a society of immediate gratification, where we want it now, not tomorrow. That may work for some things, like buying a new computer or television, but not when it comes to your health. Healing takes time! Sometimes we even have to go through physical therapy to recover from an injury, and that takes time and hard work.

The same goes for fighting chronic pain caused by inflammation; it takes time to rid the body of the cause of inflammation. As Mr. Brazos Minshew explains the healing process in his weekly wellness report, you may learn that there’s no quick fix when it comes to fighting inflaammation. I’ve included the complete report below:

Take the Nopalea Loading Phase
by Brazos Minshew, TriVita’s Chief Science Officer.

You can’t put out a forest fire with a single pail of water. Likewise, you can’t break the cycle of inflammation with a single serving of Nopalea.

We need to meet the level of inflammation in our body with an equivalent force of anti-inflammatory Betalains from Nopalea. We must quench inflammation with a Nopalea Loading Phase (NLP).

The cycle of inflammation
Inflammation in your body is like a campfire: when properly contained it is useful for warming your body and cooking your food. However, when even a single ember escapes the hearth and remains unquenched, it can smolder and spread until it burns down an entire forest!

The cycle of inflammation begins with injury or trauma, toxins or poisons, deficiency or stress. When inflammation is controlled and balanced, it facilitates:

• Repair of the injury.
• Elimination of the toxins and poisons.
• Relief for many forms of deficiency and stress. For example, controlled and balanced inflammation relieves blood and oxygen deficiency in areas of poor circulation.

Runaway inflammation persists long after the cause has been removed. It continues to smolder and spread until something breaks the cycle. With fire, usually a little water will quench an ember before it causes a forest fire. With runaway inflammation in our body, we need anti-inflammatory nutrients that will remove the cause as well as the effect of inflammation. However, the same amount of water that quenches a single ember will not douse the flames of a forest fire. The same level of anti-inflammatory nutrients that will balance daily trauma, toxins, deficiency and stress will not “put out the fire” of runaway inflammation.

The Nopalea Loading Phase
We are a people on fire: we typically have runaway inflammation raging in one or more places of our bodies. We suffer from this because so many of our health problems stem from this very condition. And if our inflamed condition is greater in size and intensity, the greater our response will have to be in order to put out the fire.

That makes sense, doesn’t it? I mean, if you have a forest fire of inflammation you can’t put it out with a single pail of water. The same is true with our health: If we have been suffering from major inflammation over a long period of time, we need a REALLY SIGNIFICANT RESPONSE to put out the fire.

We need a Nopalea Loading Phase.

The Betalains in Nopalea are anti-inflammatory ? as such, they put out the fire of inflammation. But how much Nopalea do you need? That depends: How big is the fire you are trying to put out?

For maintenance, the label suggests drinking 1 to 3 ounces a day; this amount is needed every day just to fight the inflammatory effects of our diet, air and water pollution, and even everyday stress. But you need to take more in the beginning to break the cycle of inflammation. Here is how the Nopalea Loading Phase works:

1. Pre-Evaluation: Before taking Nopalea for the first time, record your level of pain and rate the discomfort you feel. Also, look at things you may not readily associate with inflammation. For example, how well are you sleeping? Write it all down.
2. Complete the Loading Phase: Drink 3 to 6 ounces of chilled Nopalea every day for 30 days.
3. Post-Evaluation: After 30 days, assess how you feel in comparison to before you started the Loading Phase. Most people find a significant difference and I’m sure you will too.

Keep following the Loading Phase directions until the cycle of inflammation is extinguished in your body. Remember, only YOU know how much Nopalea you will need or how LONG you will need to continue the Loading Phase. Trust your intuition.

• If you think you need more ? take more.
• If you think you need to continue the Loading Phase beyond 30 days ? then keep doing it.

Trust your instinct because only you can tell when the cycle of inflammation in your body is broken.

Restoring balance
Nutrient deficiencies create inflammation. That’s why it makes enormous sense to take a full serving of healthy aging nutrients to support our bodies’ firefighting efforts. Furthermore, each of the 10 Essentials for Health and Wellness is also anti-inflammatory in nature. So if we fail to abide by these timeless, natural laws, we could very well be fanning the fires of the inflammatory problems we’re ultimately trying to overcome. It’s important to remember that once you have subdued the flames of runaway inflammation, you need to follow Nopalea’s maintenance regimen to help prevent any smoldering inflammatory embers from re-igniting again. *** End of Report ***

So many of the maladies we suffer from today are related to inflammation. Nopalea contains Betalains, a great inflammation fighter. Testimonials from around North America report amazing improvement in well-being with Nopalea. Science from around the world details the astounding health benefits from Betalains found in the Nopal cactus. Both scientific and empirical reports tell us that Nopalea is safe and effective in promoting wellness. Enjoy Nopalea often.

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

Fighting Inflammation

The main ingredient of TriVita’s Sonoran Bloom Nopalea™ is the nopal cactus. Why? Because studies show that the nopal (the prickly pear cactus) is a valuable health supporting nutrient. The nopal helps support immune, glandular, nervous, circulatory, respiratory and digestive systems.

Below is additional information on the real value of the nopal, and why it has been chosen to be the main ingredient in Nopalea™. Even though this information has not been verified by the FDA, many independent scientific studies have compiled the follow information.

The nopal’s 18 amino acids, provide you with more energy & reduce fatigue by helping the body to lower blood sugar. The nopal strengthens the liver & pancreas thereby increasing sensitivity to insulin which stimulates the movement of glucose from the blood into body cells where it is used as energy. It also slows the digestion of carbohydrates which in turn slows insulin production.

The nopal is high in nutrients that help to strengthen the liver and the pancreas. The health of these two organs is vitally important for the proper conversion of carbohydrate sugars into stored glycogen, which is then useable as energy by the body. The production of insulin and the sensitivity of body cells to insulin is necessary to move glucose from the blood stream into body cells where it is used as energy. The nopal helps to detoxify and support the functions of the liver and pancreas, while improving body cell response to insulin stimulation.

The active ingredients found in Nopal aid in preventing the digestive system from absorbing excess dietary fat and carbohydrate sugars, thereby maintaining proper blood sugar balance and helping to control obesity. Nopal contains high levels of both soluble and insoluble dietary fibers. Soluble fibers present in Nopal include mucilages, pectin, gums and some hemicellulose. Insoluble fibers include cellulose, lignan and remaining hemicellulose. Nopal is a gentle alternative to psyllium 9a well-known fiber supplement taken for colon cleansing) for those with a sensitivity or allergy to psyllium.

Phytochemicals are powerful allies for the body’s immune system, by allowing the body defend itself against pathogens. Recent studies have found that among the phytochemicals found in the nopal are the types that inhibit cancerous cell growth and may even help prevent cancer from developing. Animal studies confirm this, showing that dosages of juice from the nopal increase immune system efficiency in controlling tumor growth, Epstein-Barr virus and suppressed immune response.

The nopal acts in several ways that have been found to reduce the risk of heart disease. First, the fiber found in the nopal acts to absorb and excrete cholesterol in the digestive system. Second, the amino acids, fiber and B3 (niacin) found in the nopal prevents excess sugar conversions into fats, while reducing triglyceride and LDL cholesterol levels, by metabolizing fat and fatty acids and eliminating excess bile acids which eventually convert into cholesterol. Third, the B3 (niacin) in the nopal acts to convert LDL(bad) cholesterol to HDL (good) forms of cholesterol.

Further studies suggest that the amino acids and fiber, together with the anti-oxidant effect of the vitamin C and vitamin A (B-carotene) found in the nopal, aid in preventing blood vessel wall damage and the formation of fatty plaques in the arteries (arteriosclerosis).

The nopal helps prevent diabetic Neuropathy (nerve damage) and aids in the balancing and calming of the nervous system, which creates a sense of well being and benefits the body’s overall function.

The nopal is a natural source of 18 Amino acids, 8 of which must be ingested as food. Vitamins A, E, and C act as antioxidants. Vitamin B (niacin) lowers cholesterol. Vitamin B12 protect against atherosclerosis. Vitamin E helps prevent blood clots and the formation of fatty plaques on the walls of the arteries and helps counteract nerve damage associated with adult-onset diabetes. Folic acid reduces risk the of stroke and together with B12 help prevent cells from becoming malignant. The nopal is an excellent source of these important vitamins in a natural form.

I know your probably thinking that all these fantastic attributes surrounding the nopal cactus seem to good to be true. I’d be skeptical also if I read this. That’s why I suggest you go to Google and do a search for the nopal cactus, and/or Sonoran Bloom Nopalea™. I’m sure you will find that the nopal cactus is one true natural fruit that delivers results. However, it’s not a fruit that is typically sold in stores.

Sonoran Bloom Nopalea™ delivers results, just like the nopal cactus. To learn more about TriVita and Sonoran Bloom Nopalea™, click on the previous links.

I’m always into sharing information I find and/or receive regarding our health. Today I’d like to share an article I received regarding inflammation and its affect on the development of Alzheimer’s disease. I’m including the article in its entirety to prevent any misinterpretation.

The article is written on October 22, 2009 by Patrycja Podrazik for Health Resources News. If you suffer from any form of inflammation or you know someone suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, I highly suggest that you read this article.

A recent study has shed light on inflammatory mechanisms that may contribute to the development of Alzheimer?s disease, an incurable neurodegenerative condition.

Research by Dr. William A. Banks, professor of geriatrics and pharmacological and physiological science at Saint Louis University School of Medicine, suggests inflammation causes a blood-brain barrier transporter known as LRP to malfunction.

The blood-brain barrier is a system of cells that regulates the exchange of substances between the brain and the blood, and LRP removes amyloid beta protein?the same compound that is found to accumulate in the brains of those affected by Alzheimer?s?from the brain and into the bloodstream.

"We induced inflammation in mice and found that it turned off the LRP pump," explains Banks.

"It also revved up an entrance pump that transports amyloid beta into the brain. Both of these actions would increase the amount of amyloid beta protein in the brain," he adds.

Natural compounds including antioxidants and vitamin D have been proven to reduce inflammation as well as contribute to weight loss and control, heart health and cancer prevention.

For those who may not get enough antioxidants from their diet, nutritional health supplements may be a good alternative. (ADNFCR-1960-ID-19265496-ADNFCR)*

I’ve written many articles about inflammation, and it seems that inflammation continues to be at the root of most diseases. I know what Hippocrates said, "all disease is one", and I wonder if he was referring to inflammation. Today, inflammation is the number one medical issue facing people in North America.

Fighting inflammation is an ongoing problem. There are many man-made prescription anti-inflammatory drugs on the market today. However, many of them can had adverse side-effects, especially if you’re taking other medications. That’s why TriVita has developed and tested Sonoran Bloom Nopalea™.

Nopalea helps to fight inflammation naturally, through betalains, a very effective anti-inflammatory fighter found in the Nopal cactus. When these betalains enter into your system, by drinking Nopalea™, 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.

Inflammation has been called the silent killer. Inflammation is a process in which the body’s white blood cells and chemicals help protect us from infection and foreign substances such as bacteria and viruses. However, "When inflammation occurs, chemicals from the body are released into the blood or affected tissues. This release of chemicals increases the blood flow to the area of injury or infection and may result in redness and warmth. Some of the chemicals cause a leak of fluid into the tissues, resulting in swelling. This process may stimulate nerves and cause pain." [1]

"Inflammation as a major cause of disease is not new. It is at least a reasonable consideration that inflammation is involved with, if not the cause of, every other ill from which we suffer as a race. If that has not been true in the past, it is true today. No other cause of disease has a chance to take a foothold. Inflammation troubles have become so dominant that no other process may need to be considered. The cause of this inflammation is chemical toxicity." [2]

Do you suffer from inflammation? Read the article below from Brazos Minshew, Chief Science Office for TriVita, to learn more about inflammation.

Taking the "flame" out of inflammation by Brazos Minshew, TriVita’s Chief Science Officer.

We usually describe the process of inflammation like a series of dominos all set up and ready for something to tip over the first domino and start the chain reaction. The first one tips over the second one, which tips over the third one and so on. This is called the "domino effect." Clever people can set up these dominos in an amazing array of complicated designs.

Inflammation is a process much like that. A single event may trigger a domino effect of inflammatory reactions. While many of the reactions are fairly predictable, many others are not. They seem to involve amazingly complicated patterns unique to the individual. Still, all inflammation exhibits five basic signs caused by four basic triggers.

Signs of inflammation

With tissue injury, inflammation is part of the healing process:

1. Redness: An injured area needs an increased supply of nutrients and proteins carried in the blood. So, blood supply increases and the tissue turns red (Latin: rubor).
2. Swelling : The injured area is bathed in healing proteins and substances to control bleeding, as well as an increased supply of plasma for transport of waste. This causes the injured area to swell (Latin: tumor).
3. Pain: The injured area needs to be protected. We instinctively guard an injury because we feel or anticipate pain (Latin: dolor).
4. Heat: The damaged tissue now becomes weakened and so it is susceptible to infection. White blood cells rush to the area and defend the fragile cells from microbes. A sign that this is working is heat or fever in the damaged area (Latin: calor).
5. Loss of Function: This process is accompanied by a reduction in function of the injured area until it is healed (Latin: functio laesa).

The "dominoes" fall in the same predictable pattern if the injury is a sprained ankle or heart attack! No matter what triggers the inflammation, the process is the same.

Inflammation triggers

Inflammation is the response to four basic triggers: trauma, toxins, deficiency and stress. All four of these triggers cause tissue injury. Our body responds to injury with inflammation.

Trauma
We usually think of trauma as a direct injury that causes pain and distress. However, a sedentary lifestyle is also a serious cause of trauma. Why? Because our body was made to move! The more we move, the more we are able to move ? and the more we want to move. The less we move, the less we are able to move. Our muscles and other tissues shorten and atrophy. Then, any movement causes injury. So, the less we move, the less we want to move.

Toxins
Toxicity causes cells to rupture in the same way that a needle causes a balloon to pop. Is there any doubt that we live in a toxic world? An article in National Geographic estimated that humans create 700,000 tons of pollution and waste every day! Between these "exotoxins" (toxins created outside our body), and "endotoxins" (toxins created inside our body), we are bathed in inflammation-producing poison every moment of every day. Any successful strategy for reducing inflammation must address the level of toxins we face.

Deficiency
Deficiencies also cause inflammation. For example, an omega-3 essential fatty acid (EFA) deficiency leaves the cell walls weak and unable to function normally. Again, cells are like balloons. If the balloon membrane is too thin, even a normal amount of air will make it pop. If the cell wall is too thin because of an omega-3 EFA deficiency, even normal cell activity will cause the cell to pop and trigger the domino effect of inflammation. Similarly, deficiency of other nutrients can have a catastrophic effect on cells within your body. (A deficiency in oxygen, water, sleep and circulation can also trigger inflammation.)

Stress
Emotional distress is also a cause of inflammation. When we appraise a situation to be stressful, our brain releases chemicals called catecholamines that trigger the release of many inflammatory processes. For example, stress causes the release of insulin ? a pro-inflammatory hormone. Too much stress over too long a period of time will cause insulin resistance (IR), which is associated with obesity. Other stress-related chemicals reduce circulation to our digestive and reproductive systems and trigger inflammation from blood deficiency. Stress is a serious cause of inflammation!

First steps

We are made with the ability to respond to trauma, toxins, deficiency and stress with inflammation. Therefore, inflammation is not the enemy; however, runaway inflammation is definitely our enemy! Stop the domino effect of runaway inflammation before it starts by learning and living the 10 Essentials for Health and Wellness.

• Reduce basic nutrient deficiencies through our Healthy Aging program.
• Help reduce the effect of harmful toxins with Nopalea™.
• Ease the disturbances caused by emotional distress with anti-stress adaptogens.

A word about Nopalea

Once runaway inflammation is triggered it follows an amazingly intricate course leading to catastrophe. It is as if tens of thousands of dominoes are falling in an extremely complex design. Many of the steps are known to medical science, but many are not. One thing we know and have known for thousands of years: stop the runaway inflammation and health will always improve! So, no matter what the "condition" is that is causing distress, reducing excess inflammation will always improve the way we feel.

Betalains in Nopalea are anti-inflammatory nutrients. They help your body do what it does best: repair with controlled inflammation while dousing the flames of runaway inflammation. So, we can say with confidence that if runaway inflammation is the problem, reducing that inflammation is part of the solution. Address the root causes of runaway inflammation by following the 10 Essentials, and taking Healthy Aging nutrients, adaptogens and Nopalea! ** END of ARTICLE **

You do not have to suffer from inflammation, nor do you have to take a risk with this deadly disease. There are ways to fight inflammation, as Mr. Minshew has explained. However, you have to take action.

I’m not a doctor or medical professional, but it seems to me that if we fight inflammation, the cause of much pain, we may not have to suffer from needless pain. So, in my opinion, to get pain relief that lasts, we should fight the source of that pain, and what better way to do that that with TriVita’s Sonoran Bloom Nopalea™.

Our bodies are truly amazing to say the least! One aspect of many, is the inner workings that goes on behind the scenes from the first bite of food, right through the entire digestive process, ultimately allowing each and every one of us life on a daily basis rival even the most intelligent minds.

The key player, our cells are comprised from the food that we eat, as such a good or a bad diet dictates whether or not we have balanced or unbalanced cells. In fact, foods that are absorbed during digestion and carried into the bloodstream are called bioavailable foods. If they are good for us they are called bioactive foods. If they neither improve our health nor detract from it they are called bio-neutral foods and if the foods we eat are toxic for us they are called biocidic foods, according to a recent article written by Brazo Minshew Chief Science Officer for TriVita.

So you ask, "what are Betalains anyway?" Betalains are bioflavonoids, a plant compound known for their antioxidant activity. Betalains are void in fruits and vegetables, but all 24 known Betalains are found in rich abundance in the Nopal Cactus Fruit better known as the "Prickly Pear Cactus".

So how does the Betalain family fit into this whole body thing? Further information from this same articles goes on to say, research showed that anti-inflammatory Betalains protected fats from being oxidized and turned into "bad" fats. Methyl linoleate (ML) is a common fat used in manufacturing detergent and other products. It can become carcinogenic (cancer-causing) if it oxidizes. Betalains protected ML from oxidizing. This antioxidant activity hindered the formation of inflammatory chemicals. Betalains slowed down the domino effect of toxic, rancid fats from becoming carcinogenic before they ever started!

All of this of course begs the question, can our body take in the goodness and reap the benefits of these wonderful potent anti-inflammatory, anti-toxin action of the Betalain family? According to Professors at the University of Palermo, Italy, Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology involved in the study of Betalains, and their activity stated that Betalains are both bioavailable and bioactive!

We can improve the health of our cells, along with helping our bodies reduce inflammation, oxidation and the impact of toxins by taking in the Betalain family! The best way to drink in the wellness of Betalains is with Sonoran Bloom Nopalea.

The "dominoes" fall in the same predictable pattern if the injury is a sprained ankle or heart attack! No matter what triggers the inflammation, the process is the same.

Inflammation triggers

Inflammation is the response to four basic triggers: trauma, toxins, deficiency and stress. All four of these triggers cause tissue injury. Our body responds to injury with inflammation.

Between these "exotoxins" (toxins created outside our body), and "endotoxins" (toxins created inside our body), we are bathed in inflammation-producing poison every moment of every day. Any successful strategy for reducing inflammation must address the level of toxins we face.

Deficiency
Deficiencies also cause inflammation. For example, an omega-3 essential fatty acid (EFA) deficiency leaves the cell walls weak and unable to function normally. Again, cells are like balloons. If the balloon membrane is too thin, even a normal amount of air will make it pop. If the cell wall is too thin because of an omega-3 EFA deficiency, even normal cell activity will cause the cell to pop and trigger the domino effect of inflammation. Similarly, deficiency of other nutrients can have a catastrophic effect on cells within your body. (A deficiency in oxygen, water, sleep and circulation can also trigger inflammation.)

Stress
Emotional distress is also a cause of inflammation. When we appraise a situation to be stressful, our brain releases chemicals called catecholamines that trigger the release of many inflammatory processes. For example, stress causes the release of insulin ? a pro-inflammatory hormone. Too much stress over too long a period of time will cause insulin resistance (IR), which is associated with obesity. Other stress-related chemicals reduce circulation to our digestive and reproductive systems and trigger inflammation from blood deficiency. Stress is a serious cause of inflammation!

We all have felt a little tired, got a little moody, or forget where we put things from time to time. No big deal right, it doesn’t happen everyday or does it? The truth is many people have one or more of these symptoms on a daily basis. Sometimes it is due to medical reasons, often it is the lack or deficiency of B vitamins, specifically B-12 vitamins.

Although there are studies circulating that suggest B-12 vitamins do not help with fatigue, due to inconclusive evidence. Some important facts still remain, B-12 vitamins has a long history and a solid reputation as an energy booster, along with being the most important of the eight complex B vitamins.

A simple fact still remains, your body requires B-12 vitamins to function properly, along with many other nutrients. As we grow older our bodies are less able to pull B-12, a precious resource from some of the foods most rich in it. This becomes a real problem for many people, even those that do in fact eat a well balanced diet, including foods rich in B-12. Therefore, it has long been stated that in order to reach your daily requirement of B-12 it should be taken in a quality supplement.

B12 benefits your body in many ways. One of its key functions is to help your body in the creation of red blood cells. These cells help carry oxygen to your vital organs, including your heart and brain. This oxygen is crucial in providing you the necessary energy to get through each day. B12 also helps with white cell production, which is important to keeping your immune system strong, which in turn keeps you healthy.

B12 is properly maintaining your nervous system and helping to keep nerve cells healthy. This in turn keeps your brain functioning the way it should. B vitamins also assists in the production and regulation of DNA, which is present in every cell in your body. And since this nutrient is also a very strong antioxidant, it helps fight off free radicals which can lead to cancer. It is important that your body gets some vitamin B12 every day. It helps metabolize the food you eat so you can utilize it for energy. It does this by helping turn the carbohydrates in your food to glucose. When the glucose is released into your system, it gives you energy. Many people who struggle with fatigue and low energy often have a vitamin B12 deficiency.

So there you go, just some of the many great reasons to take in B-12 daily. Some foods rich in B-12 are: liver, sardines, eggs, some breakfast cereals if it is fortified with B-12. Remember that eating these foods rich in B-12 doesn’t always mean you are getting the recommended daily dose, so taking a good quality B-12 supplement can’t hurt. B-12 is a water soluble vitamin and has no real side effects if you take too much.

Bring a bounce back to your step, a smile on your face, and know you are doing something wonderful for your bod! Bring back the zest for life and living with a high quality sublingual B-12 vitamin…You will be so glad you did!

So there you go, just some of the many great reasons to take in B-12 daily. Some foods rich in B-12 are: liver, sardines, eggs, some breakfast cereals if it is fortified with B-12. Remember that eating these foods rich in B-12 doesn’t always mean you are getting the recommended daily dose, so taking a good quality B-12 supplement can’t hurt. B-12 is a water soluble vitamin and has no real side effects if you take too much.

Bring a bounce back to your step, a smile on your face, and know you are doing something wonderful for your bod! Bring back the zest for life and living with a high quality sublingual B-12 vitamin…You will be so glad you did!

Patients with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome share many similarities in symptoms associated with both these very painful disorders. Along with sharing many of the same symptoms, both have no known cause, nor is there a cure for either one.

It can be very hard to distinguish one from the other, because it is estimated that up to seventy percent of those diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome can also fall under the guidelines of fibromyalgia and vice versa. Even doctors can become confused, because people with chronic fatigue syndrome have pain associated, which is one of the main symptoms of fibromyalgia. On the reverse those with fibromyalgia have symptoms of fatigue which is a big factor for those afflicted with chronic fatigue syndrome. You can easily see why it might leave some wondering, which is which?

So what are some of the symptoms of Fibromyalgia? This disorder can affect anyone, but most commonly found in middle aged folks, and those with rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases can be especially at risk. Fibromyalgia makes you feel tired, we all can feel tired at some time or another, the difference comes in the fact, that even though rested, someone with fibromyalgia still feels tired, causing muscle pain and tenderness to the touch for some places such as the neck, shoulders, back, hips, arms and legs. These life changing symptoms can bring on trouble sleeping, morning stiffness, headaches, along with problems thinking and memory.

Those diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome have had a minimum of six months of fatigue, other symptoms include muscle pain, memory problems, headaches, pain in multiple joints, sleep issues, sore throat and tender lymph nodes. This disorder commonly affects women in their 40′s and 50′s, but again anyone can get it and can last for years.

There is one thing that both doctors and their patients affected by either one of these disorders agree, and that is that B-12 vitamins and folic acid can help them manage some of their symptoms. Since both disorders can affect mental function, memory and thinking problems in particular. B vitamins and brain function are strong and well documented. It is no wonder many healthcare professionals, both traditional and alternative medicine, along with experts in both fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome support the use of B vitamins and folic acid to help in managing their patients symptoms.

If you think you or a loved one has any or all of these symptoms, please see your health care provider to know for sure. If you have been diagnosed with either one of these disorders. Take plenty of high quality B vitamins to help with some of the symptoms.

Pollution, as we know is all around us from the air we breathe, to the food we eat. There is no escape from toxins as they invade our bodies in a variety of different ways. Since we can’t completely stop toxins from their destructive path, we can fight back!

Countless native Americans know the land holds many natural healing secrets, and one such secret is found in the desert, the Sonoran desert to be precise. It’s the Nopal Cactus, featuring it’s most amazing fruit. The robust pinkish color of the fruit gives way to it’s secret, the amazing Betalains. There are 24 known Betalains all of which are essential for human health. Betalains are anti-toxin and anti-inflammatory, we all could use some of that!

There is a leader amongst the Betalains that helps detoxify and it’s called beta xanthine. Beta xanthine is an important friend when it comes to detoxifying your liver and kidneys. Our bodies burn food in order to create energy and build health. As previously mentioned, toxins are on a never ending quest from both the outside elements and inside elements, which in turn hampers the body from doing it’s job effectively.

A key player in creating toxins from within our body is uric acid. Uric acid is excreted by the kidneys, and too much build up of uric acid is poisonous and has been associated with heart disease, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, kidney stones and gout. Our kidneys are delicate and easily damaged by dehydration with too much protein, sugar, toxic metals like mercury and toxins like aspirin. Even temperature extremes like heat can affect them.

Our liver neutralizes uric acid with enzymes, and those same enzymes also detoxify many other poisons. Thus improving liver detoxification of uric acid helps in detoxifying other poisons which is a very good thing indeed! If your liver is fatty, sluggish or toxic, chances are you will be unable to complete the detoxification process…Guess what, with the help of our new found friend from the Sonoran Desert, Betalain beta xanthine can help improve your chances of detoxification as it aids by neutralizing toxins such as uric acid, thus increasing liver detoxification enzymes that clean up both outside and inside toxins, and as an added bonus, it may even reduce the shock our kidneys face from excessive heat! Now that’s a win…win!

So drink in the wellness of the Betalain beta xanthine to help protect your precious assets, the liver and kidneys. Helping to detoxify your body, ultimately gaining better overall health!

Get the greatest abundance of all 24 Betalains from the Nopal fruit found in the Sonoran Desert, and find the best source of Betalains in Sonoran Bloom Nopalea.

In the dry desert landscape there grows a plant with sharp needles, that can appear to be as unfriendly as the rattlesnakes, and lizards that dwell amongst it. Yet this amazing cactus plant is host to a most beautiful flower, adding color to this desolate land. It is the base of this pleasing flower that holds a key to helping our skin stay younger.

The lovely pinkish color is the precursor to a prestigious class of nutrients called "Betalains", as the Betalains give the fruit it’s appealing color. These impressive nutrients are bioflavonids which are part of the Quercetin household. Bioflavonoids are a vitamin like substance that works in alliance with antioxidants such as Vitamin C. These colleagues work together to help our bodies make collagen, which makes our skin soft and supple, and helps strengthen our blood vessels, so we don’t bruise so easily.

As we age and lose collagen, the structural protein that helps provide healthy elasticity, our skin thins, and as a result men and women fight to keep a youthful appearance from such predators as:

Crow’s Feet – The outer corner of the eyes and upper and lower eyelids can become saggy and baggy as collagen levels lessen. Tear troughs (deep hollows under the eye sockets) can also form.

Drooping Brows – Depleting collagen can cause your eyebrows to droop, resulting in a hooded look over the eyelids.

Nasolabial Folds – Lack of collagen increases the appearance of the lines that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth.

Jowls- Jowls are due to excess skin, which occurs from a decrease in collagen, elastin and volume, drawing attention to unrefined contours.

Thin lips – Lost collagen leads to the development of lip lines and a loss of volume. Just to name a few.

In a society that spends billions with a "B" to stay youthful, with expensive cosmetic surgery, paying premium prices for fancy creams and lotions, countless visits to the dermatologists for botox injections, and other skin procedures, all in pursuit of beauty, could there be some help in the battle?

We all have heard people talk about how someone is beautiful on the inside. This is important, from the view point that good health is directly reflected on the outside of our bodies. Hence another saying "you are what you eat". In the ongoing battle for youthfulness, the fight should begin from within by taking good care of you. Start by eating a balance diet, drink lots of water, get plenty of sleep, and don’t forget to take your Betalins in order to help make collagen, which in turns helps your skin look more vigorous and fresh.

One more piece of news for you regarding Betalins, it can also help reduce inflammation which Time Magazine deemed "The Silent Killer", sounds like a win, win to me…I take my Betalins, do you?

If you would like to drink in these powerful healing nutrients, the best source I have found is in a product called Sonoran Bloom Nopalea. Like to try a FREE sample of this awesome product through The Sonoran Bloom Nopalea Free Gift of Health? Simply fill out the Free Gift of Health form, indicate you would like to try Sonoran Bloom Nopalea! Soon you too can drink in the wellness!

I recently read an interesting article by Brazos Minshew, Chief Science Officer for TriVita. In this informative report, Minshew had just returned from an anti-aging conference that focused on natural and pharmaceutical ways to slow the aging process and extend the vitality/longevity of humans. There were 20 speakers from around the world. All 20 of these physicians and professors eventually discussed stem cells as a way to slow aging and speed healing.

Now I don’t know about you, but when I think of "stem cells" I immediately think of stem cell research and the highly controversial experimentation being conducted on these tissues. Of course not knowing or understanding the full definition of stem cells, that yes there are "embryonic" stem cells which are cells that differentiate becoming different tissue that become the heart, brain and other organs in a forming human. But did you know that once a human is formed, that the body continues to make stem cells? It’s true! In fact, we make stem cells everyday as part of our healing process. The difference between these stem cells and "embryonic stem cells" is stem cells the body makes afterwards replace other cells.

Our bodies along with our cells eventually die, thus when a cell dies, the stem cells made in your bone marrow and other parts of our bodies are released back through a chemical trail to the dead cell, basically transforming to the type of cell it is to replace. For me it explains a lot about the aging process because it is defined as cell death and cell replacement. Further demonstrating why some people age prematurely, because stem cells cannot keep up daily with the demand of dead cells. Too many dead cells, not enough stem cells to keep up. On the flip side, if stem cells are not under such extreme demands on a daily basis, and an adequate amount can be produced daily you age slower. A healthy human being is less likely to experience chronic diseases associated with premature aging. Obviously, having a whole lot of stem cells is a very good thing indeed!

Stem cells as part of the body also requires proper nutrition to function adequately on a daily basis. If the body does not receive the required nutrients for making cells and those stem cells you can become deficient. So when the call comes for cell replacement from dying cells your bone marrow will not fill the order to meet the demand, and we all know what happens then…premature aging. Or cells will be made, but lack the critical nutrients that make it a healthy cell, leaving it wide open for inflammation and disease.

To keep our body making all those much needed stem cells, first and foremost you need a good foundation of proper nutrition, but you can take it one step further with specific nutrients that really stimulate the production line of stem cells. But what kind of special nutrients? Well, back to the article, and the anti-aging conference Brazos Menshew spoke of where six stem cells powerhouse nutrients were mentioned. Of the those duly noted, two stood out, one of which has an unusually large amount of the much needed stem cell nutrient, and believe it or not, it’s found in the prickly pear cactus! It’s Betalains! Betalins taken with B-12 vitamins may help the production.

So keep the hands of time at a slower speed, help your body burn the midnight oil on the stem cell production line by feeding it just what it needs, Betalins and B-12 vitamins. The best way to get these two super nutrients is by taking superior products! So grab a bottle of Sonoran Bloom Nopalea and drink in a wealth of Betalins, then place sublingual B-12′s tasty pink pill under your tongue! Now your cooking!

The difference between these stem cells and "embryonic stem cells" is stem cells the body makes afterwards replace other cells.

Our bodies along with our cells eventually die, thus when a cell dies, the stem cells made in your bone marrow and other parts of our bodies are released back through a chemical trail to the dead cell, basically transforming to the type of cell it is to replace. For me it explains a lot about the aging process because it is defined as cell death and cell replacement. Further demonstrating why some people age prematurely, because stem cells cannot keep up daily with the demand of dead cells. Too many dead cells, not enough stem cells to keep up. On the flip side, if stem cells are not under such extreme demands on a daily basis, and an adequate amount can be produced daily you age slower. A healthy human being is less likely to experience chronic diseases associated with premature aging. Obviously, having a whole lot of stem cells is a very good thing indeed!

Stem cells as part of the body also requires proper nutrition to function adequately on a daily basis. If the body does not receive the required nutrients for making cells and those stem cells you can become deficient. So when the call comes for cell replacement from dying cells your bone marrow will not fill the order to meet the demand, and we all know what happens then…premature aging. Or cells will be made, but lack the critical nutrients that make it a healthy cell, leaving it wide open for inflammation and disease.

To keep our body making all those much needed stem cells, first and foremost you need a good foundation of proper nutrition, but you can take it one step further with specific nutrients that really stimulate the production line of stem cells. But what kind of special nutrients? Well, back to the article, and the anti-aging conference Brazos Menshew spoke of where six stem cells powerhouse nutrients were mentioned. Of the those duly noted, two stood out, one of which has an unusually large amount of the much needed stem cell nutrient, and believe it or not, it’s found in the prickly pear cactus! It’s Betalains! Betalins taken with B-12 vitamins may help the production.

So keep the hands of time at a slower speed, help your body burn the midnight oil on the stem cell production line by feeding it just what it needs, Betalins and B-12 vitamins. The best way to get these two super nutrients is by taking superior products! So grab a bottle of Sonoran Bloom Nopalea and drink in a wealth of Betalins, then place sublingual B-12′s tasty pink pill under your tongue! Now your cooking!

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.

In some diseases, however, the body’s defense system (immune system) inappropriately triggers an inflammatory response when there are no foreign substances to fight off. In these diseases, called auto immune diseases, the body’s normally protective immune system causes damage to its own tissues. The body responds as if normal tissues are infected or somehow abnormal. What diseases are associated with inflammation?

Some, but not all, types of arthritis are the result of misdirected inflammation. Arthritis is a general term that describes inflammation in joints. Some types of arthritis associated with inflammation include:

Rheumatoid arthritis
Shoulder tendinitis or bursitis
Gouty arthritis
Polymyalgia rheumatica

Other painful conditions of the joints and musculoskeletal system that are not associated with inflammation include osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, muscular low back pain and muscular neck pain.

What are the symptoms of inflammation?

Inflammation is characterized by:

Redness Swollen joint that is warm to touch
Joint pain
Joint stiffness
Loss of joint function

Often, only a few of these symptoms are present.

Inflammation may also be associated with general "flu-like" symptoms including:

Fever
Chills
Fatigue/loss of energy
Headaches
Loss of appetite
Muscle stiffness

So what can you do about inflammation appropriately called "The Silent Killer" and for good reason as mentioned above. One thing you can do as a proactive approach to reducing inflammation is to try the juice of the Nopal cactus fruit which contains Betalains. Betalaines are a rare and potent class of antioxidants that flourish in the Nopal cactus fruit. Nopalea harnesses the power of this desert superfruit and its betalains to bring you scientifically proven health benefits.

Betalains are the pigments that give the Nopal cactus fruit its vibrant pink color. But that’s just the beginning. They’re also natural antioxidants-and they’re only found in a few of the world’s plants.

The Nopal fruit isn’t just included in this small group of special plants, it actually leads the group by containing one of the highest amounts of betalains in all of nature.

So how can you harness the power of this desert superfruit?

When you drink Sonoran Bloom 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 Sonoran Bloom Nopalea can reduce the inflammation in your body that leads to disease.

As a society we are very much dependant on our outward appearance. Why we spend billions, maybe even trillions on everything from the clothes we wear, to way we smell, and everything in between. But let me ask you a question, have you REALLY looked at the skin you’re in? It may in fact be telling you something.

Every morning we wake up and look in the mirror, often because we see ourselves 24/7, we may not really be paying close enough attention to the details. It’s these details that can shed light to possible health issues lurking inside. For example:

Let’s start with dry skin, perhaps it’s the obvious, and you just need more fluids, especially water. In the winter months especially, when so many of us are indoors for the majority of the time, often our skin is dry and irritated. Perhpas it may be that you need more essential fatty acids in order to relieve your dry skin.

How about liver spots. It isn’t unusual to see older folks with brown spots on their hands. Typically these spots are a direct result of sun damage, but sometimes it could be far worse. Liver spots are from a chemical pigment called lipofuscin. When this pigment builds up in your muscles, nerves, skin and brain, it isn’t good. In some cases causing loss of fine motor skills in the hands and body. Extreme overload of lipofuscin in the brain could result in nervous system oxidation and possibly Parkinson Disease. If you have liver spots, keep a watchful eye on them, reporting any major changes to your doctor. and again you may find some relief by taking essential fatty acids, along with antioxidants, together nourishing and protecting your precious brain tissues.

Vitiligo is a skin disorder that causes a loss of pigment in areas of the skin. The pigment loss may result in white blotches on the hands and face. Sometimes vitiligo can be a side effect of too much antibiotic use, chemotherapy or steroids. Sadly, it can just happen with no reason at all. One way you can fight back against vitiligo is with UV light therapy. B-12 vitamins are also quite helpful if you take it correctly for maximum benefits such as sublingually, under the tongue. B-12 vitamins can actually help starve the fungus that may trigger vitiligo. You can also implement the amino acid L-Phenylalanine as it holds much promise in the fight.

So take heed to your body, watch for the signs that your skin maybe telling you! Nourish your skin in a bath of essential fatty acids, and reduce inflammation, by taking TriVita’s OmegaPrime.

According to a recent article in Time magazine there is a potential killer that lies within, and its called inflammation. Inflammation is a condition that occurs when the body’s natural immune response goes awry. It can go undetected for years, continually assaulting the brain, heart and immune system.

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. When inflammation occurs normally, chemicals from the body?s white blood cells are released to protect us from foreign substances. Sometimes, however, the white blood cells and their inflammatory chemicals cause damage to the body?s tissues.

In some diseases, however, the body?s defense system (immune system) inappropriately triggers an inflammatory response when there are no foreign substances to fight off. In these diseases, called auto immune diseases, the body?s normally protective immune system causes damage to its own tissues. The body responds as if normal tissues are infected or somehow abnormal.

What can YOU do to slow down this "Silent Killer"

Betalains are the pigments that give the Nopal cactus fruit its vibrant pink color. But that?s just the beginning. They?re also natural antioxidants?and they?re only found in a few of the world?s plants.

NOPAL – An Abundant Nutritional Reservoir! And boy is that an understatement. Nopal cactus fruit defends your body against dangerous toxins that threaten cellular health, lead to inflammation and trigger a whole host of diseases.

So how did this new super fruit get it’s start?

History:

Nopal is a large cactus with a woody trunk and large top, many oblong joints, small, yellow barbed spines, bright yellow flowers and red fruit with a juicy, white, sweet flesh and numerous black seeds. It is said to be a native of Mexico, where it is considered the symbol of identity of the Mexican people and is even included on the Mexican flag, depicting a Mexican golden eagle perched upon the Opuntia cactus, devouring a snake.

About twenty thousand years ago, Opuntia (or Nopal) began to develop as a food, and the plant’s development was said to enable human settlement and cultural development in many parts of the arid lands, where it was considered the lifeblood of those ancient cultures, particularly in times of drought.

Approximately 5000 to 7000 B. C., prehistoric indigenous groups began the cultivation of a series of native plants, including beans, opuntia, peppers and agave, etc., and in Pre-Columbian times, Nopal was considered an important staple food (for both humans and livestock), a beverage, a medicine, a source of dye and was included in religious and magical rites. During the Spanish Colonial Period, Nopal gained further importance as forage when cattle was introduced to the semiarid areas and there was a consequent depletion of grasslands. Its beneficial uses as a medicine and beverage were also gaining in reputation.

In the De la Cruz-Badiano Codex of 1552, it was noted that Nopal treated several ailments and was used to cure burns and soothe wounds, and Friar Motolinia said, "these Indians, from a land so sterile that they lack water, drink the juice of these leaves of nopal." Nopal received its botanical genus name, Opuntia, from Tournefot, who thought the plant was similar to a thorny plant that grew in the town of Opus, in Greece.

After the Spanish conquest, Nopal spread from Mexico to practically all the Americas (from Canada to Patagonia, in Argentina) and may now be found in tropical and arid regions throughout the world, including the southwestern United States. It grows in Israel, where the Prickly Pear is called tzabar (Hebrew:) and it is the origin of the slang term, Sabra, meaning a native-born Israeli Jew.

Some of the constituents in Nopal include water, fat, mucopolysaccharide soluble fibers, carbohydrate, protein, saponins, glycosides, a flavonoid (quercetin), minerals and large amounts of B1, B6, niacin, riboflavin and pantothenic acid.

So there you go…a bit of history behind the Nopal cactus and it’s wondrous super fruit the basis of TriVita’s Sonoran Bloom Nopalea.

If you too wish to experience the Nopal Super Fruit and it’s wondrous health benefits, you don’t have to go out to the desert and find a Nopal cactus, all you need to do is visit this site for more information on TriVita’s Sonoran Bloom Nopalea!

What the heck are B-12 vitamins anyway? Well, let’s start with the basics, vitamin B-12 is a water-soluble B vitamin that helps transform fats and proteins from foods into energy and works with folic acid to produce normal red blood cells. An adequate supply of vitamin B-12 vitamins is also necessary for normal neurological function.

Vitamin B-12 cannot be produced inside your body; it must come from your diet. Once you eat foods containing B-12, it is not easily absorbed and broken down for use within your body. This is because B-12 is very large and complex. Only about 1% of the B-12 in the food you eat is absorbed.

Certain bacteria and sea microbes are able to dissolve and digest the metal cobalt and convert it to Vitamin B-12. We cannot digest metal. When we are young, bacteria in our intestines “ferment” the B-12 from our diet. Fermentation is a long process that may take as long as three weeks to get the meager 1% of the vitamin into our system.

Do I need to take B-12 in my diet?

B12 vitamins are needed for normal nerve cell activity, DNA replication, and production of the mood-affecting substance SAMe (S-adenosyl-L-methionine). Vitamin B12 acts with folic acid and vitamin B6 to control homocysteine levels.

Different types of B-12

B-12 is stored in various organs and tissues. Some go to your liver, kidneys and muscles, while other B-12′s circulate in your body fluids, primarily your blood and cerebral spinal fluid (CSF). This is where the story of Vitamin B-12 gets interesting because each type of B-12 has a different function.

Methylcobalamin is a co-enzyme form of Vitamin B-12 that resides in your liver and kidneys. Methylcobalamin is not a complete form of B-12. Rather, it is a B-12 “co-enzyme” that is activated for specific uses. It is primarily for detoxification. For instance, methylcobalamin participates in getting rid of toxic metals, such as lead and mercury. Methylcobalamin is very effective at removing dangerous levels of homocysteine. That’s why we formulated HCY Guard with methylcobalamin.

Adenosylcobalamin is another form of B-12 co-enzyme; it lives in your muscles. It allows your muscles to stretch without tearing. Cyanocobalamin is the main form of Vitamin B-12 and it’s the type we use in our Sublingual B-12. It is a “whole” B-12, just like hydroxycobalamin. The other B-12s are made from these two sources. Cyanocobalamin resides in your nerves where it heals the scars created by stress, trauma, vitamin deficiency, toxins and just plain time. This has the effect of making you feel lighter. It gives you energy and stamina. Cyanocobalamin also creates a mild euphoria that many people say "just makes me feel better."

Hydroxycobalamin is a whole form of B-12 often administered to children. It also lives in the nervous system and blood. It is found in cerebral spinal fluid. It metabolizes very slowly, so most people don’t report much of an energy boost with hydroxycobalamin.

No matter how old or young you are, we all could use more energy, vitality, and above all else…Good health! Get some B-12 today! Go to the TriVita Products page to find out more information on sublingual B-12, the best source of B-12 available! For a limited time sign up for your FREE Gift of Health (up to a $20.00 value)

What the heck are B-12 vitamins anyway? Well, let’s start with the basics, vitamin B-12 is a water-soluble B vitamin that helps transform fats and proteins from foods into energy and works with folic acid to produce normal red blood cells. An adequate supply of vitamin B-12 vitamins is also necessary for normal neurological function.

Vitamin B-12 cannot be produced inside your body; it must come from your diet. Once you eat foods containing B-12, it is not easily absorbed and broken down for use within your body. This is because B-12 is very large and complex. Only about 1% of the B-12 in the food you eat is absorbed.

Certain bacteria and sea microbes are able to dissolve and digest the metal cobalt and convert it to Vitamin B-12. We cannot digest metal. When we are young, bacteria in our intestines “ferment” the B-12 from our diet. Fermentation is a long process that may take as long as three weeks to get the meager 1% of the vitamin into our system.

Do I need to take B-12 in my diet?

B12 vitamins are needed for normal nerve cell activity, DNA replication, and production of the mood-affecting substance SAMe (S-adenosyl-L-methionine). Vitamin B12 acts with folic acid and vitamin B6 to control homocysteine levels.

Different types of B-12

B-12 is stored in various organs and tissues. Some go to your liver, kidneys and muscles, while other B-12′s circulate in your body fluids, primarily your blood and cerebral spinal fluid (CSF). This is where the story of Vitamin B-12 gets interesting because each type of B-12 has a different function.

Methylcobalamin is a co-enzyme form of Vitamin B-12 that resides in your liver and kidneys. Methylcobalamin is not a complete form of B-12. Rather, it is a B-12 “co-enzyme” that is activated for specific uses. It is primarily for detoxification. For instance, methylcobalamin participates in getting rid of toxic metals, such as lead and mercury. Methylcobalamin is very effective at removing dangerous levels of homocysteine. That’s why we formulated HCY Guard with methylcobalamin.

Adenosylcobalamin is another form of B-12 co-enzyme; it lives in your muscles. It allows your muscles to stretch without tearing. Cyanocobalamin is the main form of Vitamin B-12 and it’s the type we use in our Sublingual B-12. It is a “whole” B-12, just like hydroxycobalamin. The other B-12s are made from these two sources. Cyanocobalamin resides in your nerves where it heals the scars created by stress, trauma, vitamin deficiency, toxins and just plain time. This has the effect of making you feel lighter. It gives you energy and stamina. Cyanocobalamin also creates a mild euphoria that many people say "just makes me feel better."

Hydroxycobalamin is a whole form of B-12 often administered to children. It also lives in the nervous system and blood. It is found in cerebral spinal fluid. It metabolizes very slowly, so most people don’t report much of an energy boost with hydroxycobalamin.

No matter how old or young you are, we all could use more energy, vitality, and above all else…Good health! Get some B-12 today!

According to a recent article in Time magazine there is a potential killer that lies within, and its called inflammation. Inflammation is a condition that occurs when the body’s natural immune response goes awry. It can go undetected for years, continually assaulting the brain, heart and immune system.

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. When inflammation occurs normally, chemicals from the body?s white blood cells are released to protect us from foreign substances. Sometimes, however, the white blood cells and their inflammatory chemicals cause damage to the body?s tissues.

In some diseases, however, the body?s defense system (immune system) inappropriately triggers an inflammatory response when there are no foreign substances to fight off. In these diseases, called auto immune diseases, the body?s normally protective immune system causes damage to its own tissues. The body responds as if normal tissues are infected or somehow abnormal.

What can YOU do to slow down this "Silent Killer"

The dietary absorption of vitamin B-12 is complex. It’s not just a matter of swallowing a bunch of it (dietary or supplemental) and letting the guts do the work. There is something called “intrinsic factor” which is made in certain cells in the stomach that must be present in order for B-12 vitamins to be absorbed at a point in the very end of the small intestine (the ileum).

The main sources of B-12 include meat, eggs, and dairy products. Food-bound vitamin B12 malabsorption is defined as an impaired ability to absorb food or protein-bound B-12 vitamins, although the free form is fully absorbable. In the elderly, food-bound vitamin B12 malabsorption is thought to result mainly from atrophic gastritis, a chronic inflammation of the lining of the stomach that ultimately results in the loss of glands in the stomach (atrophy) and decreased stomach acid production. Because stomach acid is required for the release of vitamin B12 vitamins from the proteins in food, vitamin B12 absorption is diminished. Decreased stomach acid production also provides an environment conducive to the overgrowth of anaerobic bacteria in the stomach, which further interferes with vitamin B12 absorption. Because vitamin B12 in supplements is not bound to protein, and because intrinsic factor (IF) is still available, the absorption of supplemental vitamin B12 is not reduced as it is in pernicious anemia.

So how can you know you received enough B-12 vitamins?

Take the guesswork out of B-12 vitamins absorption with Super Sublingual B-12 ? formulated for maximum absorption with its original, patented sublingual delivery system. Plus, it?s the first and only B-12 vitamins product to combine both major forms of B-12 with B-6, folic acid and ginseng.

Now, you don?t have to worry about the pain and expense of B-12 injections. You simply put a great-tasting, quick-dissolving tablet under your tongue; the B-12 is detectable in the bloodstream in as little as 30 minutes!

In an article called, Inflammation: The New Medical "Bad Guy", by Bruce Bailey, Ph.D., starts by writing, "according to the latest medical theory, chronic inflammation is the root cause of almost every disease suffered by human beings." This should NOT be new news to anyone, as Hippocrates had this same theory hundreds of years ago.

What is inflammation?

According to Dr. Bailey, "as a part of our immune response system, inflammation occurs when the body is fighting germs that enter the body through a variety of ways, e.g. injury or inhalation. When you experience redness, swelling, heat, infection, and pain from a variety of ailments, it’s a sign of inflammation".

So what happens if we fail to effectively fight and/or stop the inflammation? Dr. Bailey says"normally, the inflammation goes away when the body has conquered the infection or injury, but if the body fails to shut off the inflammation process, a more serious condition can occur."

What types of serious conditions is Dr. Bailey talking about? The most serious condition is a heart attack. If you have never considered inflammation and a heart attack related, look at Dr. Bailey’s response to how inflammation can cause a heart attack.

"It is generally recognized that heart attacks occur when the blood vessels become clogged with ‘plaque’ (what we usually refer to as the bad LDL cholesterol) that is deposited on the vessel walls. This bad cholesterol also gets embedded inside arteries and our immune system ‘attacks’ it. Persistent inflammation in the arteries can eventually cause plaque to burst. Now many doctors use a simple blood test for inflammation called CRP (short for C-reactive Protein) to help assess a person’s cardiac risk. CRP is an index of inflammation in the arteries and the CRP increases as inflammation increases. For example, test have shown that middle aged men with high CRP levels in their blood were three times more likely to suffer a heart attack in the next 6 years than men with normal levels. Medical experts say that a CRP of 3.0 mg/L or higher triples your heart attack risk. People with CRP less than 0.5 mg/L rarely have heart attacks."

How can we prevent heart attacks, fight inflammation, and lower our cholesterol all at the same time?

Most doctors will tell you diet and exercise are the best ways to lower cholesterol. However, does diet and exercise help fight inflammation? "According to the Center for Human Nutrition at Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, some foods can cause inflammation while others can decrease it. Diets that are rich in fruits and vegetables, and foods that offer lots of Omega-3 fatty acids (such as salmon, tuna, mackerel, and walnuts) are best. Further, a diet of such foods has been shown to be instrumental in weight reduction, and lowering CRP and insulin resistance."

Since "chronic inflammation is the root cause of almost every disease" including heart attacks, we should take every measure possible to keep our bodies healthy and operating at peak performance. One way to keep your body operating efficiently and to also combat any germs and/or toxins that may exist inside your body is to drink TriVita‘s Sonoran Bloom Nopalea on a daily basis.

Why? Because Sonoran Bloom Nopalea™ helps to fight inflammation naturally, through betalains, a very effective anti-inflammatory fighter which is found in the Nopal cactus, the key ingredient of Nopalea.

If it’s true what Hippocrates said many years ago, that "all disease is one", and what doctors agree upon today, "chronic inflammation is the root cause of almost every disease", and if the majority of diseases are in some way related to inflammation, germs and toxins, doesn’t it make sense to try TriVita’s Sonoran Bloom Nopalea™,

Do you suffer from an autoimmune disease, if you do, you are not alone. According to the US Department of Health and Human Services, there are over 80 autoimmune diseases, affecting millions of people, dishing out such mayhem as rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, lupus, type 1 diabetes and many more.

Let’s start with understanding autoimmune dysfunction

Our immune system, is intended to protect us from illness and harmful substances called antigens. Normally, the immune system in response to antigens such as bacteria, viruses and toxins, produces antibodies that affix themselves to the antigens, ultimately destroying them and removing them from the body. Characteristics of a autoimmune disorder is when the immune system cannot differentiate antigens from normal cells. As a result, turns on itself trying to annihilate normal healthy tissue.

In alliance with our immune system is inflammation.

Inflammation fights side by side in defense by warding off such bad guys as germs and toxins. When the enemy shows up such as viruses or parasites inflammation attacks the trespassers and surrounds tissue that may have been debilitated or infected. It then subsides so the healing can begin. As defiant a soldier inflammation can be, it too can also spin out of balance by not getting the proper message from the commanding officer to stop the fight; not shutting off!

Such an aggressive defense team interwoven so carefully together for our good, can and does sometimes lead to the declaration of war as the body turns on itself assaulting normal healthy muscles and tissue. This in turn continually sounds the alarm for inflammation to continue the attack becoming ongoing and excessive!

As researchers and medical professionals continue to work on answers. What can be done to protect the body from chronic inflammation? They know that inflammation does have a big impact on chronic diseases. Inflammation is a very dangerous enemy indeed.

There is hope on the horizon to lessen the affects of inflammation, and it comes in the form of natural alternatives, such as diet, exercise, losing excess fat, and taking certain nutritional supplements.

One nutritional inflammation fighter is the amazing Betalins. Betalins can bring relief from pain by reducing inflammation, ultimately helping the body function better overall. Now isn’t that a relief?

Until the battle is won as to why some immune systems cannot recognize antigens from normal cells, along with its counterpart, out of control inflammation, take heed in the fight with a wellness drink called Sonoran Bloom Nopalea! Come taste and feel the difference! Sonoran Bloom Nopalea

An Important Link Between Brain Health and B-12 Vitamins

I recently read an article in TriVita’s Vita Journal titled" Can a Supplement ease Alzheimer’s?" written by Dr. Scott Conrad Founder of Tiena Health. This article was of great importance to me as my mother was recently afflicted with this horrible disease as a result of a stroke. In Dr. Conrad’s article he wrote about the millions that have been affected in some way shape or form by this disease called Alzheimer. Caregivers, friends and family know how atrocious it is to watch someone with Alzheimer slowly lose their memory, increased confusion, along with the wearing down of the mind and body. It is the most heartbreaking pill in life to swallow. To be honest, I do not know if I will ever learn to accept what has happened to my mother.

Yet, in all this sadness, there is a twinkling of light at the end of the tunnel. Brain health and B-12 vitamins according to a recent 2008 study from the University of Oxford, England suggests a possible link between low levels of B-12 and the higher probability of increased brain volume or better known as "brain erosion". The same study also suggested that those with a higher level of B-12 had a decreased probability in brain erosion. Since one of the results of Alzheimer is brain erosion this study has promising importance.

It is these very findings that spurred further research into the great benefits of B-12 vitamins, that in fact B-12 may protect against the devastating disease Alzheimer. Researchers found that the erosion is linked directly to reduced mental function, which is obvious in Alzheimer patients.

This particular study in England took place over five years with 107 adults ages 61 to 87. The question posed "What is the link between vitamin B-12 and brain erosion?"

In order to answer this question, the researchers had the participants in the study following guidelines according to results published by the medical journal Neurology. The participants underwent annual blood tests, MRI’s, physical exams and memory tests. None of the subjects had any mental impairments when they began the study.

When the study ended all of the participants had B-12 levels in the normal range, on the other hand, the differences in brain volume between the normal low range and normal high range were quite noteworthy. Therefore the conclusion "People with lower levels of B-12 were six times more likely to have brain volume loss "brain erosion" than those with higher levels of B-12."

This article also pointed out the continual important as a society to take enough vitamin B-12 daily as deficiencies result in such symptoms as decreased mental and nerve functions and of course many more, too many to list. But I believe you get the jest.

Many health conscious people are already aware of the importance of certain key vitamins, yet for me personally, after reading this article what I found most beneficial was the new research brought forth that brain erosion can also be a direct result of lack of B-12. So take your B-12! I know I will…but be sure you get the right kind of B-12 vitamin, and that is taken sublingual under the tongue for maximum benefits. Learn more by visiting B12 Vitamins

Research TriVita Vita Journal Dr.Scott Conrad Founder of Tiena Health

"Dr. Alfred Libby was a medical doctor and substance abuse therapy specialist who worked primarily with heroin addicts ? searching for new therapies to improve the detoxification process. He was aware that most addicts were not getting the B-12 they needed through food, but he was extremely reluctant to give them any kind of injection. In the late 1970s, Dr. Libby began to explore an alternative delivery system for vitamin B-12. The goal was to bypass the stomach where this essential nutrient is not easily absorbed."

"In early spring of 1980, Dr. Libby approached his colleagues with his theory that B-12 could be delivered to the bloodstream sublingually (under the tongue). Biochemists and his medical colleagues were quick to dismiss the idea. However, he was persistent and they eventually decided to give his theory a try, although they were convinced it would fail."

"Six weeks later the first study was underway. Shortly after, Dr. Libby’s sublingual delivery method was deemed a complete success ? blood levels of B-12 increased dramatically. Dr. Libby significantly improved his formula with the addition of B-6 & Folic Acid and was issued a patent in 1984 for his sublingual process."

"And now, from the experts that brought you the original Sublingual B-12 comes TriVita Super Sublingual B-12. With the original, patented delivery system, TriVita Super B provides more B-12 than the average B-12 shot. Studies show that these important nutrients can be measured in the bloodstream in as little as 30 minutes! Plus, it’s the first and only B-12 product to combine both major forms of B-12 with B-6, folic acid and ginseng."

"Thanks to Dr. Libby’s original, patented delivery system, thousands of people have experienced increased stamina, mental clarity, improved memory and much more"!

The information listed above is from the TriVita web site (www.trivita.com/superb/getsuperb.com/dr_libby.aspx), and the reason I bring this up is because of my wife’s son, who has been told that he may have to continue receiving Vitamin B-12 shots the rest of his life. He’s only 25! YIKES!

Here’s his short story. Eighteen months ago he was in the hospital with what was diagnosed as a bleeding ulcer. The doctors found and repaired the problem, no worries. Fast forward to the present (one month ago) – seventeen months later – his condition returned. This time it was much worse, as he was hospitalized for five days, and was given six units of blood. As the doctors continued to monitor his one month progress, they find out that his blood levels are too low (whatever that means).

That leads us to where I started his story. The doctors feel that he "may need vitamin b12 shot the rest of his life." So with that said, I suggested TriVita’s patented Sublingual B12. Is it recommended by the doctors? Will it be as effective as a true vitamin b12 shot? I guess only time will tell. If "TriVita Super B provides more B-12 than the average B-12 shot" he should be fine, and should be getting enough b12 into his system to discontinue the painful shots.

"Dr. Alfred Libby was a medical doctor and substance abuse therapy specialist who worked primarily with heroin addicts ? searching for new therapies to improve the detoxification process. He was aware that most addicts were not getting the B-12 they needed through food, but he was extremely reluctant to give them any kind of injection. In the late 1970s, Dr. Libby began to explore an alternative delivery system for vitamin B-12. The goal was to bypass the stomach where this essential nutrient is not easily absorbed."

"In early spring of 1980, Dr. Libby approached his colleagues with his theory that B-12 could be delivered to the bloodstream sublingually (under the tongue). Biochemists and his medical colleagues were quick to dismiss the idea. However, he was persistent and they eventually decided to give his theory a try, although they were convinced it would fail."

"Six weeks later the first study was underway. Shortly after, Dr. Libby’s sublingual delivery method was deemed a complete success ? blood levels of B-12 increased dramatically. Dr. Libby significantly improved his formula with the addition of B-6 & Folic Acid and was issued a patent in 1984 for his sublingual process."

"And now, from the experts that brought you the original Sublingual B-12 comes TriVita Super Sublingual B-12. With the original, patented delivery system, TriVita Super B provides more B-12 than the average B-12 shot. Studies show that these important nutrients can be measured in the bloodstream in as little as 30 minutes! Plus, it’s the first and only B-12 product to combine both major forms of B-12 with B-6, folic acid and ginseng."

"Thanks to Dr. Libby’s original, patented delivery system, thousands of people have experienced increased stamina, mental clarity, improved memory and much more"!

The information listed above is from the TriVita web site (www.trivita.com/superb/getsuperb.com/dr_libby.aspx), and the reason I bring this up is because of my wife’s son, who has been told that he may have to continue receiving Vitamin B-12 shots the rest of his life. He’s only 25! YIKES!

Sonoran Bloom Nopalea™ has not been on the market that long. However, because of the tremendous healing powers, and anti-inflammatory results it has been providing to regular users, TriVita has taken it one step further. They have developed a true multi-nutritional supplement that’s based on the same ingredient of Sonoran Bloom Nopalea™, betalains.

As many of you already know, betalains are found in the fruit of the Nopal cactus. Some additional information for those of you that have not heard of betalains, the pigment that gives the Nopal cactus fruit its vibrant pink color; they are natural antioxidants – and they’re only found in a few of the world’s plants.

The Nopal fruit isn’t just included in this small group of special plants, it actually leads the group by containing one of the highest amounts of betalains in all of nature.

When you drink Sonoran Bloom 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, and supply natural pain relief, in your body that leads to disease.

Now, when we transition this cellular protection into a daily nutritional supplement, you can have the best of both worlds when it comes to keeping your body healthy. Well, that’s exactly what TriVita has done.

TriVita’s newest product is called Wellavoh™ (wel-lah vo-h). It is derived from the Native American language and means "Wellness Harvest." As mentioned previously, Wellavoh™ is rooted in the healing plants of the Sonoran Desert and brings native traditions and ancient wisdom from the Nopal cactus and other Sonoran botanicals to you in its purest and freshest form.

Wellavoh™ gives you an opportunity to feed your body the nutrients it desires and lacks, every day, to avoid any gaps in nutrition. It provides you with hard-to-find healthful nutrients that go beyond an ordinary daily multi-vitamin. Wellavoh™ is a multi-nutrient complex that offers complete nutrition both day and night.

Wellavoh™ is scientifically designed and uniquely formulated (the same as Sonoran Bloom Nopalea) for both men and women, to offer incredible features and benefits:

• The men’s formula supports optimal prostate, cholesterol and blood sugar health
• The women’s formula supports optimal bone, skin, hormone and breast health.
• Specific AM and PM formulas to provide you with energy and vitality during the day, and rest and rejuvenation during the night.
• Four exclusive blends with rare and powerful nutrients from herbs, plants, fruits, oils and more
• Six essential nutrient classes to make a complete multi-nutrient complex.
• Easy-to-swallow, soft-gel capsules for improved absorption and maximum benefit
• Individually packaged for on-the-go use.

Many people take a daily multi-vitamin in order to make up for nutrient deficiencies. But this typically falls short. That’s because most daily multi-vitamins are not of the highest quality and standards. For example, they often lack the broad spectrum of nutrient classes your body needs. Or, their ingredients are made from synthetic substances, which are not easily absorbed by your body. Far too many multi-vitamins are formulated as "one type fits all," with ingredients that aren’t gender specific. That’s not the case with Wellavoh.

There are many more benefits to taking a multi-nutritional supplement rather than a multiple vitamin supplement, just a few are listed above. To learn more about Wellavoh™, Sonoran Bloom Nopalea™, and all the TriVita products, go to the TriVita Products page.

I’ve been writing about natural pain relief associated with inflammation, its causes, and how to fight it. My articles typically involve sharing information I found when doing searches on Google. I receive weekly health and wellness newsletters that contain important information regarding your health. As part of my passion for healthier lifestyles, I like to share that information with you.

There has never been a more important newsletter than the one I received this past weekend. It’s by TriVita, and is written by Brazos Minshew, TriVita’s Chief Science Officer. The article is called Important Health News – Protect Yourself from the Flu. As we all know, unless you’ve been living under a rock, the H1N1 flu virus is attacking Americans at an alarming rate.

Is there a way to protect your self from the H1N1 virus? According to Mr. Minshew, when it comes to fighting the flu we need to focus on three pathways, transmission, infection, and inflammation. In his article, he explains his theory. However, I’d like to focus on the third pathway, inflammation. Below is an excerpt form his article. To read the complete article, copy and paste the link at the bottom of this article into your web browser.

Inflammation

We will begin at the ending: Inflammation from the immune system that incapacitates – even kills – people when they have the flu. MOST IMPORTANT: The flu kills people not by transmission or by infection, but by an inflammatory immune system response called the "cytokine storm."

Our immune system is designed to neutralize and excrete any non-self protein it finds. That includes the influenza virus. The size of the immune response needs to be equivalent to the strength of the invader.

Think of this as a building on fire: small fires are extinguished by local fire fighters. Some fires are so big that fire fighters from other departments have to be called in to help. So, fires are designated as "one-alarm,""two-alarm,""three-alarm,"and so on. At a certain point, our immune system pulls all of the alarms and immune system fractions from all over our body rush to put out the fire, so to speak. However, this is a case of fighting fire with fire. Cytokines are inflammatory. They kill viruses and bacteria by creating inflammation.

The cytokine storm is responsible for all of the symptoms we feel: fever, body aches, nausea, diarrhea, etc. It is also responsible for filling the lungs with mucous (pneumonia/pneumonitis) which is often the fatal trigger in influenza, SARS, Hanta virus, bubonic plague, etc.

To survive we must modulate the cytokine storm so that it does its job but doesn’t overwork and kill us. We make it work smarter, not harder. So we don’t use Vitamin C or Echinacea or anything that "boosts"the immune system. We use immune system modulators so we get exactly the right response. Quercetin (Betalains in Sonoran Bloom Nopalea are quercetin bioflavonoids), green tea polyphenols (found in Energy Now!) and ginseng (Panax and Eleutherococcus found in Adaptogen 10 Plus) all balance the immune system and decrease the cytokine storm.

I know this may sound somewhat like an advertisement for TriVita products, well yes, and no. In my opinion, it’s a way to protect yourself from the H1N1 virus. I believe we need help prevent the spreading of this terrible virus, and one way to do is is to protect yourself from getting it.

Mr. Minshew mentioned Sonoran Bloom Nopalea is his article. Nopalea helps to fight inflammation and naturally relieve pain associated with it, through betalains, a very effective anti-inflammatory fighter which is found in the Nopal cactus.

I’m always into sharing information I find and/or receive regarding our health. Today I’d like to share an article I received regarding inflammation and its affect on the development of Alzheimer’s disease. I’m including the article in its entirety to prevent any misinterpretation.

The article is written on October 22, 2009 by Patrycja Podrazik for Health Resources News. If you suffer from any form of inflammation and your looking for natural pain relief and/or you know someone suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, I highly suggest that you read this article.

A recent study has shed light on inflammatory mechanisms that may contribute to the development of Alzheimer?s disease, an incurable neurodegenerative condition.

Research by Dr. William A. Banks, professor of geriatrics and pharmacological and physiological science at Saint Louis University School of Medicine, suggests inflammation causes a blood-brain barrier transporter known as LRP to malfunction.

The blood-brain barrier is a system of cells that regulates the exchange of substances between the brain and the blood, and LRP removes amyloid beta protein?the same compound that is found to accumulate in the brains of those affected by Alzheimer?s?from the brain and into the bloodstream.

"We induced inflammation in mice and found that it turned off the LRP pump," explains Banks.

"It also revved up an entrance pump that transports amyloid beta into the brain. Both of these actions would increase the amount of amyloid beta protein in the brain," he adds.

Natural compounds including antioxidants and vitamin D have been proven to reduce inflammation as well as contribute to weight loss and control, heart health and cancer prevention.

For those who may not get enough antioxidants from their diet, nutritional health supplements may be a good alternative. (ADNFCR-1960-ID-19265496-ADNFCR)*

I’ve written many articles about inflammation and natural pain relief, and it seems that inflammation continues to be at the root of most diseases. I know what Hippocrates said, "all disease is one", and I wonder if he was referring to inflammation. Today, inflammation is the number one medical issue facing people in North America.

Fighting inflammation is an ongoing problem. There are many man-made prescription anti-inflammatory drugs on the market today. However, many of them can had adverse side-effects, especially if you’re taking other medications. That’s why TriVita has developed and tested Sonoran Bloom Nopalea™.

Nopalea helps to relieve pain and fight inflammation naturally, through betalains, a very effective anti-inflammatory fighter found in the Nopal cactus. When these betalains enter into your system, by drinking Nopalea™, 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.

"Chronic pain lasts at least 6 months after your body has healed. Sometimes, people who have chronic pain don’t know what is causing it. Along with discomfort, chronic pain can cause low self-esteem, depression and anger. It can also interfere with your daily activities."

"Treatment of chronic pain usually involves medicines and therapy. Medicines used for chronic pain include pain relievers, antidepressants and anticonvulsants. Different types of medicines help people who have different types of pain. You usually use long-acting medicines for constant pain. Short-acting medicines treat pain that comes and goes."

"Several types of therapy can help ease your pain. Physical therapy (such as stretching and strengthening activities) and low-impact exercise (such as walking, swimming or biking) can help reduce the pain. However, exercising too much or not at all can hurt chronic pain patients. Occupational therapy teaches you how to pace yourself and how to do ordinary tasks differently so you won’t hurt yourself. Behavioral therapy can reduce your pain through methods (such as meditation and yoga) that help you relax. It can also help decrease stress." [1]

Lifestyle changes are an important part of treatment for chronic pain. Getting regular sleep at night and not taking daytime naps should help. Stopping smoking helps, also, because the nicotine in cigarettes can make some medicines less effective. Smokers also tend to have more pain than nonsmokers.

It has been reported that many forms of chronic pain comes from inflammation. Inflammation is an immune response; a response to an infection, an irritation, or an injury. Immune cells are called to the site through the blood stream. The blood vessels near the site become miraculously permeable and the site becomes warm and red due to the increased blood flow (warm, hence inflammation).

"When most people hear the word ‘inflammation’ they think of the swelling and redness that accompanies an injury such as a sprained ankle. However, inflammation can also be systemic and caused not by injury but by lack of exercise and a poor diet. Systemic inflammation increases the risk of cancer, hypertension, heart disease, gastrointestinal problems, and many other health conditions. In fact, many anti-aging experts believe that inflammation is the greatest cause of premature aging, so preventing it is also vital for looking young. Increasing exercise is one key to decreasing systemic inflammation, and the other key is to consume a diet that does not promote inflammation." [2]

"Healthy lifestyle habits such as exercising regularly, not smoking, maintaining a healthy weight, and minimizing stress all help to reduce inflammation. But the most important factor in fighting inflammation is the food you eat every day. That’s why all the experts, from diet doctor Barry Sears (The Zone) to alternative medicine guru Andrew Weil (Healthy Aging) recommend an anti-inflammatory diet for everything from weight loss to heart disease prevention." [3]

"Inflammation as a major cause of disease is not new. It is at least a reasonable consideration that inflammation is involved with, if not the cause of, every other ill from which we suffer as a race. If that has not been true in the past, it is true today. No other cause of disease has a chance to take a foothold. Inflammation troubles have become so dominant that no other process may need to be considered. The cause of this inflammation is chemical toxicity." [4]

Many health experts suggest that you detoxify your body. In other words, rid your body of all the toxins that are either making certain organs work harder, or not work at all. When your organs aren’t doing their job, your immune system may take over to rid your body of all the chemical toxicity.

One of the best ways of detoxify your body is by drinking TriVita’s Sonoran Bloom Nopalea™. Nopalea™ is derived from the Nopal cactus, a desert superfruit that is loaded with betalains, powerful and formerly rare antioxidants. Betalains are known as a natural and very powerful anti-inflammatory nutrient, one that fights inflammation and thus, helps to relieve chronic pain that is caused by inflammation.

For thousands of years, the people of the Sonoran Desert have tapped into the power of its native healing plants. Now with Nopalea™, you can too.

Stop the pain and help fight inflammation with Nopalea™. Don’t take a man-made drug, like Celebrex, to fight something that is not man-made, but rather caused naturally within your body. Don’t risk damaging other parts of your body, but rather protect the most complex design at a cellular level.

"Chronic pain lasts at least 6 months after your body has healed. Sometimes, people who have chronic pain don’t know what is causing it. Along with discomfort, chronic pain can cause low self-esteem, depression and anger. It can also interfere with your daily activities."

"Treatment of chronic pain usually involves medicines and therapy. Medicines used for chronic pain include pain relievers, antidepressants and anticonvulsants. Different types of medicines help people who have different types of pain. You usually use long-acting medicines for constant pain. Short-acting medicines treat pain that comes and goes."

"Several types of therapy can help ease your pain. Physical therapy (such as stretching and strengthening activities) and low-impact exercise (such as walking, swimming or biking) can help reduce the pain. However, exercising too much or not at all can hurt chronic pain patients. Occupational therapy teaches you how to pace yourself and how to do ordinary tasks differently so you won’t hurt yourself. Behavioral therapy can reduce your pain through methods (such as meditation and yoga) that help you relax. It can also help decrease stress." [1]

Lifestyle changes are an important part of treatment for chronic pain. Getting regular sleep at night and not taking daytime naps should help. Stopping smoking helps, also, because the nicotine in cigarettes can make some medicines less effective. Smokers also tend to have more pain than nonsmokers.

According to many sources, doctor prescribed medications cause adverse affects to the human body. Some of the medications that deplete vitamin b-12 over time include, "Anti-inflammatory medications – inhalant, systemic, and topical corticosteroids; Antibiotic medications – aminoglycosides; Antibiotic medications – sulfa drugs; Antibiotic medications – macrolides; Antibiotic medications – penicillin derivatives," [1] and a whole host of others, too large to mention in this article.

The medications listed above are not only depleting the all important vitamin b-12, but other vitamins such as vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamins B9 and B6, and important minerals such as calcium, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), magnesium, melatonin, potassium, protein and amino acid, selenium, and zinc, to mention a few. Additional information is available on the University of Maryland Medical Center web site (www.umm.edu).

From the UMM web site, here’s a quote about vitamin B12 deficiency:

"Obvious symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency are rare because it takes years to develop complications associated with long-term depletion of this nutrient. Irritability, weakness, numbness, anemia, loss of appetite, headache, personality changes, and confusion are some of the signs and symptoms associated with vitamin B12 depletion. Low levels of this vitamin may also be associated with an increased risk of colon cancer, heart disease, brain disorders, and birth defects." [1]

I know it says that obvious symptoms of vitamin B12 are rare, however, if you’re taking a combination of the doctor prescribed medications listed above, there’s a chance that the depletion process could become more aggressive over time. Since many adults are taking, or will be in the future, multiple medications, understanding the side effects should become more of a priority.

"The average person in North America is on about six different prescription medications by age 65. Each of these medications is designed to complete a specific body function that does not work or that no longer works as well as it needs to for health. These body functions require specific nutrients as fuel." – Brazos Minshew, TriVita’s Chief Science Officer

You’re not alone when it comes to taking multiple, as stated by Mr. Minshew. That’s the reason so many health conscious individuals suggest taking precautionary measures like taking daily supplements, like TriVita’s Sublingual B-12. Taking a vitamin B12 supplement is one of the easiest ways to get your recommended daily dose.

Let me make it perfectly clear, I’m not a doctor or healthcare professional. So before taking any dietary supplement, you should talk to a health care professional or doctor. The information in this article is just to inform people of the health risks related to doctor prescribed medications, and vitamin B12 deficiency. Although my information comes from reliable sources, it’s up to the you to verify it.

If you taking multiple medications, find out what effect these man-made drugs are having on your body. There may be alternatives to these drugs. Doctors may be treating your symptoms, but do they really care about the long term side effects?

In my opinion, taking a b12 supplement on a daily basis is a must. To learn more about the sublingual vitamin b12, its patented delivery system, Dr. Libby, and/or TriVita, visit the vitamin b12 web site.

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 your 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.

Of all the pain causing disorders, joint pain is the most common problem people face as they grow older. A recent report estimates that 21% of the adult population is affected by some form of joint-related pain. And that number is expected to rise even higher as baby boomers age, so by 2030, almost 67 million people will suffer from joint problems.

What can be done to relieve pain within the joints?

First off, we need to understand joint pain and some causes of joint pain. Joints which bear the most weight are mostly affected, like the knees, hips and spine.

Only as an example, let’s focus on the knee. If you suffer from knee pain, you’re not alone. According to the Mayo Clinic website, "almost one in three Americans older than age 45 reports some type of knee pain, and it’s a common reason that people visit their doctors or the emergency room." [1]

There is a lot of information on the Mayo Clinic website (see links below), and since I’m not a medical professional, I can only quote the information they have posted. With that said, here is some information regarding knee pain symptoms:

"A knee injury can affect any of the ligaments, tendons or fluid-filled sacs (bursae) that surround your knee joint as well as the bones, cartilage and ligaments that form the joint itself. Because of the knee’s complexity, the number of structures involved, the amount of use it gets over a lifetime, and the range of injuries and diseases that can cause knee pain, the signs and symptoms of knee problems can vary widely." [2]

Joint pain, not just in the knee, can be due to a variety of reasons. Age is the primary cause of arthritis, but other risk factors are obesity, heredity, injury such as a fracture, or athletes who overuse their joints. These factors are often associated with osteoarthritis.

Joint pain can also be caused by inflammation. Many of you have probably heard the term inflammation many times before. When you joint becomes inflammed, it causes severe pain, and limits your joints range of motion. Inflammed joints, according to some health care professionals, are the main reason people experience so much pain. What is inflammation and how does it relate to joint pain? And how do we get pain relief from that inflammatiom?

Inflammation is a process in which the body’s white blood cells and chemicals help protect us from infection and foreign substances such as bacteria and viruses.

"When inflammation occurs, chemicals from the body are released into the blood or affected tissues. This release of chemicals increases the blood flow to the area of injury or infection and may result in redness and warmth. Some of the chemicals cause a leak of fluid into the tissues, resulting in swelling. This process may stimulate nerves and cause pain." [3]

"Increased blood flow and release of these chemicals attract white blood cells to the sites of inflammation. The increased number of cells and inflammatory substances within the joint can cause irritation, wearing down of cartilage (cushions at the end of bones) and swelling of the joint lining (synovium)." [3]

Again, I’m not a doctor or medical professional, but it seems to me that if we fight inflammation, the cause of musch joint pain, we may not suffer from joint pain. So, in my opinion, to get pain relief that lasts, we should fight the source of that pain, and what better way to do that that with TriVita’s Sonoran Bloom Nopalea™.

Nopalea’s 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.

Nopalea will help you fight inflammation and give you the pain relief you may be looking for. If inflammation is the source of your pain, Sonoran Bloom Nopalea™ is the solution.

"Increased blood flow and release of these chemicals attract white blood cells to the sites of inflammation. The increased number of cells and inflammatory substances within the joint can cause irritation, wearing down of cartilage (cushions at the end of bones) and swelling of the joint lining (synovium)." [3]

Again, I’m not a doctor or medical professional, but it seems to me that if we fight inflammation, the cause of musch joint pain, we may not suffer from joint pain. So, in my opinion, to get pain relief that lasts, we should fight the source of that pain, and what better way to do that that with TriVita’s Sonoran Bloom Nopalea™.

Nopalea’s 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.

Nopalea will help you fight inflammation and give you the pain relief you may be looking for. If inflammation is the source of your pain, Sonoran Bloom Nopalea™ is the solution.

Of all the pain causing disorders, joint pain is the most common problem people face as they grow older. A recent report estimates that 21% of the adult population is affected by some form of joint-related pain. And that number is expected to rise even higher as baby boomers age, so by 2030, almost 67 million people will suffer from joint problems.

What can be done to relieve pain naturally within the joints?

First off, we need to understand joint pain and some causes of joint pain. Joints which bear the most weight are mostly affected, like the knees, hips and spine.

Only as an example, let’s focus on the knee. If you suffer from knee pain, you’re not alone. According to the Mayo Clinic website, "almost one in three Americans older than age 45 reports some type of knee pain, and it’s a common reason that people visit their doctors or the emergency room." [1]

There is a lot of information on the Mayo Clinic website (see links below), and since I’m not a medical professional, I can only quote the information they have posted. With that said, here is some information regarding knee pain symptoms:

"A knee injury can affect any of the ligaments, tendons or fluid-filled sacs (bursae) that surround your knee joint as well as the bones, cartilage and ligaments that form the joint itself. Because of the knee’s complexity, the number of structures involved, the amount of use it gets over a lifetime, and the range of injuries and diseases that can cause knee pain, the signs and symptoms of knee problems can vary widely." [2]

Joint pain, not just in the knee, can be due to a variety of reasons. Age is the primary cause of arthritis, but other risk factors are obesity, heredity, injury such as a fracture, or athletes who overuse their joints. These factors are often associated with osteoarthritis.

Joint pain can also be caused by inflammation. Many of you have probably heard the term inflammation many times before. When you joint becomes inflammed, it causes severe pain, and limits your joints range of motion. Inflamed joints, according to some health care professionals, are the main reason people experience so much pain. What is inflammation and how does it relate to joint pain? And how do we get natural pain relief from that inflammatiom?

Inflammation is a process in which the body’s white blood cells and chemicals help protect us from infection and foreign substances such as bacteria and viruses.

"When inflammation occurs, chemicals from the body are released into the blood or affected tissues. This release of chemicals increases the blood flow to the area of injury or infection and may result in redness and warmth. Some of the chemicals cause a leak of fluid into the tissues, resulting in swelling. This process may stimulate nerves and cause pain." [3]

"Increased blood flow and release of these chemicals attract white blood cells to the sites of inflammation. The increased number of cells and inflammatory substances within the joint can cause irritation, wearing down of cartilage (cushions at the end of bones) and swelling of the joint lining (synovium)." [3]

I always thought bone density tests were typically done on aging women, and I always thought calcium and vitamin d were the most important minerals needed to maintain healthy bones. In April of this year (2009), all that may have changed, as omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids may have taken their place in the battle of bone health.

"In adults, it is said vitamin D deficiency may precipitate or exacerbate osteopenia, osteoporosis, muscle weakness, fractures, common cancers, autoimmune diseases, infectious diseases and cardiovascular diseases. There is also some evidence that the vitamin may reduce the incidence of several types of cancer and type-1 diabetes." [1] Move over vitamin d, there’s a new player in town!

Researchers from the University of California’s School of Medicine in San Diego reported the results of their "investigating into the association between the ratio of dietary omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids and bone mineral density (BMD). In their study, subjects were 1,532 men and women ranging in age from 45 to 90 who answered food intake questionnaires and underwent tests of their bone density." [2]

The result were astonishing, because they found that "the hip bones of people who consumed more omega-6 EFAs relative to omega-3 EFAs were less dense-hence more prone to fracture-while people who consumed more omega-3 EFAs relative to omega-6 EFAs had denser, stronger bones."

As the authors said, "A higher ratio of n-6 [omega-6] to n-3 [omega-3] fatty acids is associated with lower BMD at the hip in both sexes. These findings suggest that the relative amounts of dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids may play a vital role in preserving skeletal integrity in older age."

If you’re looking to incorporate more omega-3-fatty acids into your diet, fish is your best bet. The purest choice fish include canned sardines or mackerel, wild Alaskan salmon and sablefish, and small, troll-caught tuna. However, if you’re not a fish eater, TriVita’s Omega Prime is a supplement that’s high in omega-3 fatty acids.

TriVita‘s Omega Prime contains a premier and unique blend of four different types of the most highly regarded Essential Fatty Acids (EFA) oils ? Fish, Flaxseed, Evening Primrose and Perilla Seed. It also uses only contaminant-free fish oil that has undergone a 10 stage distilling process.

As mentioned earlier, omega-3 supports our wellness in so many ways, which now includes healthy bones. It’s one of the best nutrients to reduce runaway inflammation. This may be new to you, but runaway inflammation can lead to various serious health problems in the body involving the heart, arteries, lungs, joints and more.

Vitamin b-12 and folate are two of the main ingredients in TriVita‘s Sublingual B-12. The others are Vitamin B-6 and biotin. Since b-12 and folate are considered very important to the human body, I thought I’d use this article to concentrate on those two ingredients.

What is B-12 and Folate?

According to the Labs Tests Online website, a public resource on clinical lab testing from the laboratory professionals who do the testing, "B12 and folate are B complex vitamins that are necessary for normal red blood cell formation, tissue and cellular repair, and DNA synthesis." [1]

Vitamin B-12 and Folate Deficiency

It’s more of a deficiency of b-12 and folate that causes problems rather than an over abundance of these vitamins. As a matter of fact, a lot of research and studies have been conducted on these complex vitamins. The main findings have been that a deficiency of b-12 and/or folate "can lead to macrocytic anemia, a condition characterized by the production of fewer, but larger red blood cells and a decreased ability to carry oxygen." [1]

Information from Lab Tests Online also states that "a deficiency in B12 can also result in varying degrees of neuropathy, nerve damage that can cause tingling and numbness in the patient?s hands and feet and mental changes that range from confusion and irritability to severe dementia." [1]

There are many symptoms that occur which leads doctors to a vitamin b-12 deficiency. However, &quot:the symptoms associated with B12 and folate deficiency are frequently subtle and nonspecific. They are related to the resulting macrocytic anemia, nerve involvement, and gastrointestinal changes. Patients with an early deficiency may be diagnosed before they experience any overt symptoms." [1]

Other symptoms may include, "confusion, paranoia, diarrhea, dizziness, fatigue/weakness, loss of appetite, malabsorption, paleness, rapid heart rate, shortness of breath, sore tongue and mouth, tingling, numbness, and/or burning in the feet, hands, arms, and legs (with B12)." [1]

Causes of Vitamin B-12 Deficiency

One of the main causes that I’ve heard about, especially when it comes to the elderly, is inadequate absorption. Most of the elderly population is unable to absorb vitamin b-12 from the food they eat. And once again, according to the Labs Tests Online website, they confirm what I’ve come to learn over the past year. "B12 and folate deficiency may be due to insufficient intake, inadequate absorption, increased loss, or to increased need." [1]

Lab Tests Online continues with, "B12 deficiency can be caused by insufficient stomach acid – necessary to separate B12 from ingested protein. This is the most common cause of B12 deficiency in the elderly and individuals on drugs that suppress gastric acid production. Deficiency may also be due to a lack of intrinsic factor, a substance produced by parietal cells in the stomach that binds with B12 before absorption by the intestines. An autoimmune condition called pernicious anemia involves damage to the parietal cells, resulting in decreased production of intrinsic factor." [1]

TriVita’s Sublingual B-12

I believe it’s the deficiency and malabsorption factors that led Dr. Libby, inventor of TriVita’s patented Sublingual B-12 formula, on a trek to develop an easy to use B-12 and folate concentrated supplement. Before Dr. Libby’s formula came to the market, the most popular way to get the proper dose of the b-12 vitamin was through a shot, which had to be administered by a doctor, and was guaranteed to be absorbed into the body.

Many people have found success with Dr. Libby’s patented sublingual vitamin b12. It is the number one selling product which is sold and distributed by TriVita. As mentioned before, the b12 vitamin is very important, and should be taken on a daily basis. It’s almost impossible to get enough of b-12 and folate through a proper diet, especially if you’re starting to get up there in age.

Before taking any dietary supplement, you should talk to a health care professional or doctor. The information in this article is just to inform people of the health risks related to vitamin B12 and folate deficiencies. Although my information comes from reliable sources, it’s up to you to verify this information, just ask your doctor.

I believe that taking a b12 supplement on a daily basis is a must. To learn more about the sublingual vitamin b12, its patented delivery system, Dr. Libby, and/or TriVita, visit the vitamin b12 web site.

As we conclude, I think the last question on the most frequently asked questions list, regarding TriVita’s Sonoran Bloom Nopalea™ is probably the most important of all. As mentioned in my previous two posts (where we covered the sugar, salt and iron content of Nopalea, and the compatibility of prescription medications) questions always arise when it comes to new health and wellness products. This is not unique to Nopalea!

Mr. Brazos Minshew, Chief Science Officer for TriVita, writes a Weekly Wellness Report. In the latest report, he wrote about the top three questions asked regarding Nopalea™. This is the third most frequently asked question:

How much Nopalea can I take in a day?

"The label recommends one to three ounces daily. This is based on minimum amounts in otherwise healthy people. However, the greater the level of your inflammation, the more anti-inflammatory strategies you will need. That makes sense, doesn’t it? You wouldn’t want to quench a forest fire with a single bucket of water!" [1]

Endobronchial inflammation, the main cause of asthma, is one such disease that is treated with more than one anti-inflammatory strategy. According to an article published by Pub Med, the writer mentions the many different strategies one can use to treat asthma. However, and this is just my opinion, if we can prevent the inflammation, by using a product like Nopalea, we would not have to treat the disease. As a matter of fact, the article even mentions prevention. "Patients must be educated to increase their understanding of the benefits of preventive rather than symptomatic forms of treatment for this (asthma) chronic disease." [2]

To me, preventative medicine makes more sense, and if Nopalea can do one-half of what has been scientifically proven, many individuals will all be able to live more healthy and active lives.

Mr. Minshew continues by writing, "one member was experiencing a flare-up of a rheumatoid disorder. She had taken many remedies – prescription and non-prescription – and had seen chiropractors, acupuncturists and massage therapists. She had been in an unbroken cycle of pain for 18 months. She took additional ounces daily and broke the cycle of inflammation and pain in about three weeks. She continues to take it daily with no known adverse effects. And she is pain free."

"Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a long-term disease that leads to inflammation of the joints and surrounding tissues. It can also affect other organs. The cause of RA is unknown. It is considered an autoimmune disease. The body’s immune system normally fights off foreign substances, like viruses. But in an autoimmune disease, the immune system confuses healthy tissue for foreign substances. As a result, the body attacks itself." [3]

Again, if Nopalea™ fights inflammation (one of its claims), you may be able to prevent RA before it attacks.

According to TriVita and Mr. Minshew, "in the early pilot trials of Nopalea we gave our test subjects 16 ounces daily. Not only did they not experience any known negative effects, their blood work universally improved."

So, here is the conclusion to the three most frequently asked questions regarding TriVita’s Sonoran Bloom Nopalea™:

"So many of the maladies we suffer from today are related to inflammation. Nopalea contains Betalains; Betalains quench inflammation. Testimonials from around North America report amazing improvement in well-being with Nopalea. Science from around the world details the astounding health benefits from Betalains found in the Nopal cactus. Both scientific and empirical reports tell us that Nopalea is safe and effective in promoting wellness. Enjoy Nopalea often. I promise: we won’t run out!" [1]

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

"Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a long-term disease that leads to inflammation of the joints and surrounding tissues. It can also affect other organs. The cause of RA is unknown. It is considered an autoimmune disease. The body’s immune system normally fights off foreign substances, like viruses. But in an autoimmune disease, the immune system confuses healthy tissue for foreign substances. As a result, the body attacks itself." [3]

Again, if Nopalea™ fights inflammation, and can help you get some much needed pain relief (two of its claims), you may be able to prevent RA before it attacks.

According to TriVita and Mr. Minshew, "in the early pilot trials of Nopalea we gave our test subjects 16 ounces daily. Not only did they not experience any known negative effects, their blood work universally improved."

So, here is the conclusion to the three most frequently asked questions regarding TriVita’s Sonoran Bloom Nopalea™:

"So many of the maladies we suffer from today are related to inflammation. Nopalea contains Betalains; Betalains quench inflammation. Testimonials from around North America report amazing improvement in well-being with Nopalea. Science from around the world details the astounding health benefits from Betalains found in the Nopal cactus. Both scientific and empirical reports tell us that Nopalea is safe and effective in promoting wellness. Enjoy Nopalea often. I promise: we won’t run out!" [1]

If inflammation is the problem – Nopalea™ may be the solution. If pain relief is your quest – Nopalea may be the solution.

Food is more powerful than any prescription weight loss pills. The food that you eat can either make you thinner or fatter. One myth that keeps surfacing is "you get fat because of the lack of exercise." I don’t buy that. You get fat because you don’t eat the right foods at the proper time each day.

The time you choose to eat your meals each day is more powerful than any prescription weight loss pill. The reason this is true is because your body is like an "engine", it needs certain foods at certain intervals of each day. If you don’t eat the right foods at the right times then it won’t burn the calories needed to lose weight naturally. You body will wind up storing those calories as fat tissue.

The plain fact is, you gained weight and/or became overweight by eating the wrong foods. Now the good news; You can slim down, or loose weight naturally, by eating the proper foods at the proper intervals each day. Yes, it is possible to lose weight by eating food that your body requires to function properly.

If you’re like most people, constantly on the go, and eating fast food, it’s hard to eat the proper food. If that’s the case, you may need a natural weight loss system to help you lose those unwanted pounds.

That brings me to Leanology. The Leanology Weight Loss System is what you need to be well on your way to healthy weight loss. Leanology offers the most advanced system of weight loss products on the market, as part of an easy 3 Step System to help you lose weight the smart and healthy way!

How to Lose Weight

As I mentioned in my previous post, when it comes any new health and wellness product there are always questions about why, when and how to use it. Sometimes there are even concerns regarding the product, which leads to the second most frequently asked question about Sonoran Bloom Nopalea,™ TriVita’s wonderful anti-inflammatory and natural pain relief product.

Will Nopalea interfere with my medications?

According to TriVita’s latest Weekly Wellness Report, Mr. Brazos Minshew, Chief Science Officer for TriVita, has this to say about the interference of Nopalea with prescription drug medications:

"Your physician and pharmacist know you best – ask them! We will say this: With over 200 papers published on the benefits of the Nopal cactus superfruit in human health, we have not found even one negative reaction or drug interaction. The only caution we discovered concerns the blood-thinner warfarin (Coumadin)." [1]

"Warfarin is an anticoagulant. It is used to decrease the clotting ability of the blood and to help prevent harmful clots from forming in the blood vessels. It is often used to prevent or treat deep venous thrombosis, a condition in which harmful blood clots form in the blood vessels of the legs. These blood clots can travel to the lungs and cause a condition called pulmonary embolism. Warfarin is also used to prevent or treat blood clots that are caused by certain heart conditions or open-heart surgery." [2]

If you take warfarin you need to speak with your pharmacist. Nopalea is a fruit juice. In rare instances, people on warfarin will be restricted from consuming fruit juices for a short time while their medication stabilizes. Only your physician and pharmacist know if you should be restricted from fruit juices at this time, so ask them before you take it. But TriVita has not found a single instance of drug interaction in the medical literature; Nopalea should be very safe, especially if you’re drinking it because you want natural pain relief from pain caused by chronic inflammation.

Here are some warnings about Warfarin. These are taken from the Mayo Clinic website:

"Warfarin, especially if taken incorrectly, increases your risk of dangerous bleeding. Warfarin also can interact badly with some foods, prescription medicines and over-the-counter supplements. If you accidentally cut yourself while taking warfarin, you may bleed heavily. You’re more likely to have bleeding problems if you’re older than 75 or take other medications that can further increase your bleeding risk." [3]

While I did not find anything regarding a dangerous interaction between warfarin and Nopalea, I’ll have to take TriVita’s word on what they have found. I did see where cranberry juice and cranberries can have an affect on it. "Consumption of cranberries or cranberry juice can affect the way warfarin works and can increase your risk of bleeding. While an occasional glass of cranberry juice is unlikely to injure you, you should avoid drinking it regularly." [3]

Before taking any health and wellness supplement, talk to your doctor, especially if you’re taking prescription medications. If you’re suffering from inflammation, and looking for natual pain relief ask your doctor if Nopalea is right for you.

As with any new health and wellness product, there are always questions about why, when and how to use it. The more popular the product, the more frequently the questions are repeated. This is the case with TriVita‘s newest product, Sonoran Bloom Nopalea™.

Within TriVita’s latest Weekly Wellness Report, Mr. Brazos Minshew, Chief Science Officer for TriVita, attempts to answer some of the more common questions about Nopalea™, TriVita’s wonderful anti-inflammatory product.

The most frequently asked questions are too important not to dedicate an individual post for each question. Because of the importance of these questions, I’ll break them down into three separate articles and then try to find some research, or case studies, if applicable, to back up what Mr. Minshew has to say. I may also leave you with a thought provoking question, something for you to ponder.

How much sugar, salt and iron are in Nopalea?

"Nopalea™ contains NO ADDED SUGAR. It is naturally sweet. Yet it is still low-calorie and low-carbohydrate. Interestingly, the calories and carbohydrates will change from batch to batch depending on the harvest. Nopalea is "wildcrafted," meaning that Nopalea is not cultivated, and no fertilizers, pesticides or chemicals of any kind are ever used – ever! It is harvested from the Sonoran Desert by natives just as it has been for thousands of years. Since it is not cultivated, the concentration of sugars and minerals in the plant change depending on how much rain we have that year. The label will accurately reflect the concentration of constituents for that harvest." [1]

When it comes to products that have been wildcrafted, there are strict guidelines that must be followed. According to Wikipedia, "in the United States of America, wildcrafted plants are regulated by the Organic Food Production Act of 1990. Harvesters must designate the area they are harvesting and provide a three-year history of the area that shows no prohibited substances have been applied there. A plan for harvesting must show that the harvest will sustain the wild crop. No prohibited substances can be added by processors." [2]

So as you can see by these strict guidelines, you can be assured that Nopalea is truly an all natural inflammation fighting product.

Mr. Minshew says that in providing the proper nutritional information to the consumer, Nopalea™ does present a challenge, and he continues his discussion by saying, "Nopalea™ is the first product of its kind. Therefore, no "standards" data existed before we created them. So, label changes happen because we created the testing standards to accurately measure the rare and powerful constituents of Nopalea." [1]

As mentioned previously, Nopalea™ comes from the nopal cactus that is found in the Sonoran Desert, located in the southwestern United States, and the northwestern parts of Mexico. Some historians have said that the ancient Mexican cultures, living in the high mountain volcanic regions, originally adopted the Nopal prickly pear cactus as a healing food, for fighting inflammation, and treasured this high mountain variety, relegating Nopal cactus as the supreme healing plant and food among its kings and warriors.

I’m not sure if that statement is correct, but if you search Google for Sonoran Bloom Nopalea, this is the type of information you will find, and nothing about other products created using the nopal cactus. As we all know, if there was another product, you would find it on the web by searching Google. So judge for your self! Is Nopalea™ a one of a kind product, and can it help fight inflammation?

As with any new health and wellness product, there are always questions about why, when and how to use it. The more popular the product, the more frequently the questions are repeated. This is the case with TriVita‘s newest product, Sonoran Bloom Nopalea™.

Within TriVita’s latest Weekly Wellness Report, Mr. Brazos Minshew, Chief Science Officer for TriVita, attempts to answer some of the more common questions about Nopalea™, TriVita’s wonderful anti-inflammatory product.

The most frequently asked questions are too important not to dedicate an individual post for each question. Because of the importance of these questions, I’ll break them down into three separate articles and then try to find some research, or case studies, if applicable, to back up what Mr. Minshew has to say. I may also leave you with a thought provoking question, something for you to ponder.

How much sugar, salt and iron are in Nopalea?

"Nopalea™ contains NO ADDED SUGAR. It is naturally sweet. Yet it is still low-calorie and low-carbohydrate. Interestingly, the calories and carbohydrates will change from batch to batch depending on the harvest. Nopalea is "wildcrafted," meaning that Nopalea is not cultivated, and no fertilizers, pesticides or chemicals of any kind are ever used – ever! It is harvested from the Sonoran Desert by natives just as it has been for thousands of years. Since it is not cultivated, the concentration of sugars and minerals in the plant change depending on how much rain we have that year. The label will accurately reflect the concentration of constituents for that harvest." [1]

When it comes to products that have been wildcrafted, there are strict guidelines that must be followed. According to Wikipedia, "in the United States of America, wildcrafted plants are regulated by the Organic Food Production Act of 1990. Harvesters must designate the area they are harvesting and provide a three-year history of the area that shows no prohibited substances have been applied there. A plan for harvesting must show that the harvest will sustain the wild crop. No prohibited substances can be added by processors." [2]

So as you can see by these strict guidelines, you can be assured that Nopalea is truly an all natural, organic product.

Mr. Minshew says that in providing the proper nutritional information to the consumer, Nopalea™ does present a challenge, and he continues his discussion by saying, "Nopalea™ is the first product of its kind. Therefore, no "standards" data existed before we created them. So, label changes happen because we created the testing standards to accurately measure the rare and powerful constituents of Nopalea." [1]

As mentioned previously, Nopalea™ comes from the nopal cactus that is found in the Sonoran Desert, located in the southwestern United States, and the northwestern parts of Mexico. Some historians have said that the ancient Mexican cultures, living in the high mountain volcanic regions, originally adopted the Nopal prickly pear cactus as a healing food and treasured this high mountain variety, relegating Nopal cactus as the supreme healing plant and food among its kings and warriors.

I’m not sure if that statement is correct, but if you search Google for Sonoran Bloom Nopalea, this is the type of information you will find, and nothing about other products created using the nopal cactus. As we all know, if there was another product, you would find it on the web by searching Google. So judge for your self! Is Nopalea™ a one of a kind product?

A web site (LabTestOnline.com) has been designed to help you, as a patient or family caregiver, better understand the many clinical lab tests that are part of routine care, as well as diagnosis and treatment of a broad range of conditions and diseases. They posted an article on vitamin B-12 and the importance of this vitamin. You can read the article below.

"B12 and folate are B complex vitamins that are necessary for normal red blood cell formation, tissue and cellular repair, and DNA synthesis. A B12 and/or folate deficiency reflects a chronic shortage of one or both of these vitamins. Since the body stores 3 to 5 years worth of B12 and several months’ supply of folate in the liver, deficiencies and their associated symptoms can take months to years to manifest in adults. Infants and children will show signs of deficiency more rapidly, however, as they have not yet established extensive reserves."

"Over time, a deficiency in either B12 or folate can lead to macrocytic anemia, a condition characterized by the production of fewer, but larger red blood cells and a decreased ability to carry oxygen. Due to the anemia, patients may be weak, light-headed, and short of breath. A deficiency in B12 can also result in varying degrees of neuropathy, nerve damage that can cause tingling and numbness in the patient’s hands and feet and mental changes that range from confusion and irritability to severe dementia."

"Pregnant women need increased amounts of folate for proper fetal development. If a woman has a folate deficiency prior to pregnancy, it will be intensified during gestation and may lead to premature birth and neural tube birth defects, such as spina bifida, in the child."

The aging process slows down the delivery of vitamin b12 to the blood stream. Because of the slow delivery process, and the importance of the b12 vitamin, Dr. Libby came up with a patented sublingual delivery method that can deliver almost all of the vitamin’s power directly into the bloodstream.

In the late 1970s, Dr. Alfred Libby, renowned authority on therapeutic nutrition and longtime associate of Nobel Prize Laureate, Dr. Linus Pauling, began to explore an alternative delivery system for Vitamin B-12. The goal was to bypass the stomach where this essential nutrient is delivered into the bloodstream, but not easily absorbed.

In early spring of 1980, Dr. Libby approached his colleagues with his new theory that B-12 could be delivered to the bloodstream sublingually (under the tongue). Biochemists and his medical colleagues were quick to dismiss the idea. However, he was persistent and they eventually decided to give his theory a try, although they were convinced it would fail.

Six weeks later the first study was underway. Shortly after, Dr. Libby’s Sublingual B-12 invention was deemed a complete success-blood levels of B-12 increased dramatically.

Many people have found success with Dr. Libby’s patented sublingual vitamin b12. It is the number one selling product which is sold and distributed by TriVita. We cannot get enough of this vitamin through a proper diet, especially if you’re starting to get up there in age.

The benefits of taking a b12 supplement on a daily basis is incredible. I think we all, no matter what age we are, need to look i
