10 Essentials
Deep breathing expels body toxins faster than any other means. Getting enough water provides an instant energy boost and you may even eat less. Establishing a bedtime routine will help you sleep longer and more soundly. Choosing healthy, whole foods minimizes blood sugar swings. An active lifestyle enables every system in your body to work better.
Heart-focused, sincere and positive feelings boost the immune system. As you let go of negative feelings toward others, you will find greater peace and optimism. Gratitude brings instant joy, builds physical defenses and reduces stress. Practicing acceptance clears your mind of needless anxiety, freeing you to enjoy life.

There seems to be many lonely people but there are plenty of communities that desire people to get involved and embrace their ideals and causes. I personally invite you to join me in my mission of inspiring people to experience wellness! In fact, I will be traveling to 25 cities with our Chief Science Officer, Brazos Minshew, to introduce new products and to explain our referral program, which allows Members to share TriVita products with others. I hope to meet you at one of those events! Those are just a few of my observations on what seems to be a paradox. How could there be such lack and such bounty at the same time? And yet, that is the way it is. Is there something for us to plug into that opens up the abundance in our lives? I truly believe there is a secret to this paradox. Here is my insight: Abundance is not measured best by what we have or dont have; IT IS BEST MEASURED IN WHAT WE ENJOY. Please at least give consideration to this thought; it is not intended to be disrespectful in any way to people who are hurting financially or may be suffering in some other way. It is offered to give hope and direction for creating abundance in your life. So, the secret that can help all of us enjoy more abundance is to embrace and practice those things we enjoy most in our lives the things that are most meaningful to us. Again, it is not measured in the things we have or dont have. There are many examples of people in the most difficult circumstances who found an inner quality of life that cannot be replaced by material things. They were surrounded by abundance! Since we are a wellness company, lets use wellness as our example. Certainly I have never met anyone who did not want more wellness. But I have met many people who were not well.

Most of us dont think of including liquids on our list of high-energy foods, but fruit juices and water are tops for giving you an energy kick. Every time you exercise, you sweat and lose valuable salts, minerals and glucose. Drinking natural fruit juices and water doesnt just rehydrate you; it also replenishes all the sugars and minerals you burn up. This in turn will keep you on your toes and will give you an energy rush that will last a long time.
Many of us feel an immediate energy surge when we eat sugary sweets. This is often followed by a dramatic energy drop and an overwhelming urge to take a nap. The problem isnt all sugars, but certain types of sugars. Sugars like table sugar and lactose (milk sugar) burn at different rates inside your cells. The sugar fructose found in foods burns very slowly. That means you dont get the same spike-crash feeling as you do with sucrose.

B-12 update
oes your resolution for wellness in 2009 include supplementing your healthy lifestyle with Vitamin B-12? If it doesnt, you should be aware of mounting clinical evidence showing the connection between good health and this powerhouse vitamin. If you already supplement with B-12, this research gives you more reason to stay on track with your health habits.
Heres a review of some of the B-12 studies that have recently made headlines. I think youll agree that its an impressive body of research.
Vitamin B-12 helps create taurine, an amino acid which studies suggest may be useful in treating CHF symptoms. Participants in a study showed significant improvement in their ability to breathe, with a reduction in heart palpitations and fluid buildup.
shown that a B-12 deficiency may decrease levels of substances needed to transmit nerve signals. This reduced ability to transmit nerve signals has shown up in brain tests conducted on children with ADHD. In people of any age, this problem with nerve signals can lessen or damage mental functioning.
Several studies have suggested that Vitamin B-12 could help reduce seasonal allergies. In one clinical study, a group of seasonal allergy sufferers spent up to six weeks taking massive amounts of B-12 through sublingual delivery, just like TriVitas Sublingual B-12, B-6 & Folic Acid. Many of the worst symptoms sneezing, congestion and itchy, runny nose were half as severe in the B-12 group as in the placebo group.
One of the premier medical authorities in the field, Harvard Medical School, endorses the use of B-12 to treat memory loss caused by a deficiency of this invaluable vitamin. The prestigious school supports findings that B-12 deficiency is among the reversible causes of memory loss, and that correcting this deficiency early on may help restore lost memory.
While doctors prescribe various medications for congestive heart failure (CHF), Vitamin B-12 has been shown to be another effective way to lessen symptoms. 6 l VITAJOURNAL
There is clinical evidence that B-12 deficiency affects a much broader age range than many have thought. A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition looked at B-12 blood levels among participants in three trivita.com
SUCCESS STORIES
I can really tell a difference in my mental energy, stamina and focus.
I have been taking TriVitas Sublingual B-12 since July of 2008. Shortly after ordering the Sublingual B-12, I heard about the new Super B. I decided to try the Super B-12 to see if there was a difference. As soon as I began taking it, I could feel the increased mental energy and alertness. I was very pleased with the Super B-12 results!! Now, I get by with only one a day of the Super B-12, instead of using two or three of the regular B-12. I really like taking the Sublingual Super B-12 with the Adaptogen 10 Plus and feel that I get great results from the two together. I can really tell a difference in my mental energy, stamina and focus on the days that I dont take my Super B-12. Earlier this year, I had a very bad accident which put me down for a while. I was forced to have a hip replacement and I have to say that I truly believe that TriVitas Sublingual B-12 helped so much in my recovery. Thank you TriVita!
age groups: 65 and over, 50-64 and 26-49. They all had approximately the same levels of B-12 deficiency. Thats right: People as young as 26 turned out to be as B-12 deficient as some people over 65.
People with lower levels of Vitamin B-12 were six times more likely to have brain volume loss (also called brain erosion) than those with higher B-12 levels, according to a study published in the journal Neurology. Researchers studied 107 adults ages 61 to 87 for five years. All the participants had B-12 levels within the normal range; however, the differences in brain volume were significant between those in the normal-low range and those in the normal-high range.

Messengers from an herb called gymnema herb open the energy ports on your muscle and organ cells. Nutrients including molybdenum escort the fat into the mitochondria. The mitochondria burn the fat as fuel and completes the conversion process. Now, metabolism is working in your favor. Fat, which is physically difficult to lose, can now be lost with ease.

Converta liberates fat from the fat cell Then it releases it in the bloodstream Converta makes your cells receptive to this fat It then escorts the fat into the mitochondria (the energy producing part of the cell) where fat is burned as fuel.
rent TV ads for weight loss supplements amazing? One ad touts the benefits of a particular product and boasts that over 50% of the weight lost with a particular supplement is from fat. Another ups the ante by saying that nearly 75% of the weight lost with their supplement is from fat. Yet another ad in the battle of percentages claims that over 80% of the weight lost with their supplement comes from fat.
Maybe you have asked as I have: Where does the rest of the weight loss come from? The answer is that the rest of the weight loss comes from your heart, your brain, your bones, and the many vital organs and systems you rely on for life and health. Much of the weight loss also comes from the collagen that supports your skin. So, while you might lose pounds, you can age by years!
When we eat more calories than we can burn, food is converted to fat. This also occurs if we are under extreme stress and experience the fight or flight response. Fat is stored in a fat cell while we sleep. Think of this stored fat as stored energy. Fat contains many hours of energy in every pound. Fat is easy to get into the fat cell and very difficult to get out. The fat cell itself seems to be programmed for survival: Its easy to make more fat cells, tough to shed even one.

Converta uses enzymes extracted from plants rare as well as common plants to help process fat into energy. Nutrients such as L-theanine move fat from the fat cell into the bloodstream. An enzyme from cinnamon called cinnaminic acid cuts the strings that bind fats together in a triglyceride.
The next time you hear a weight loss ad that promises to shed fat, remember where the other weight loss occurs. Then, think of Leanology, and proudly share the news about the Smart Weight Loss System. With Leanology and Converta, 100% of the weight lost comes from pure, ugly fat!

Decision time?
or most of us, making a decision boils down to just two questions: What do I stand to gain? What do I stand to lose?
If you think back on the last few decisions you made, youll probably realize that those are just the issues you considered. Should I take a vacation to see family? (Id be with loved ones, but Im not sure I can afford it right now.) Is it time to start a new exercise routine? (Ill be healthier, but I might fall and hurt myself.) Do I want to devote more time to that business venture? (The potential is great, but I might waste time that could have gone into something else.) This risk-and-reward thinking is a classic model of human psychology, and one thats been
at the center of our survival. Research continues into how our brains are wired to assess risk. In fact, just this fall researchers identified the brain regions involved in risk-taking. They found two separate centers for the fear of risk and the lure of reward, said the co-author, a professor of psychology at the University of Southern California. The study appeared online in the journal Cerebral Cortex. Now, though, theres a new model for the way we make decisions based on risk and reward. Its proposed by a celebrated brain surgeon and head of a prestigious medical center and people are paying attention.
produced a different way to think about risk. He calls it Best/Worst Analysis (B/WA) formula, and its expressed in these four simple questions:

Ben Carson, M.D., has already published three best-selling books, and his latest is a call to action: Take the Risk: Learning to Identify, Choose, and Live with Acceptable Risk. Drawing on his own life choices, and miraculous experiences with risky surgeries, Dr. Carson has
According to Dr. Carson, who is director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions in Maryland, answering these four questions can produce a decision to take appropriate, or acceptable risks. As he notes in the book, We buy every kind of insurance to provide us with the security we think we need. We purchase safety seats to keep our children secure... our nation spends billions to keep air travel as safe as possible. What were buying and what everyone is selling us is the promise of security. And yet the only thing we can be sure of is that someday every one of us will die. Dr. Carsons message is strong in his personal faith. In fact, he describes faith itself as a risk, adding that its a lot more acceptable when I realize that my personal relationship with God came at great risk to Him as well. God took a risk in creating humans with free will to choose to believe and obey, or not, he notes. Then he took an even bigger risk in sending his own Son to earth to live and die. Accepting risks isnt foolhardy, contends the internationally-famous surgeon. Its necessary so that we can take part in the great adventure of living our lives to their full potential. Will 2009 be the year of your great adventure in making life choices? Whether youre contemplating a change in a relationship, a career move or a health decision, ask yourself Dr. Carsons four questions and risk a great result!

ow that the cheer of holiday celebrations is quieting down, a fresh, exciting new year is upon us. Many of you have decided to set goals or make resolutions to welcome the new year. Maybe this year youre determined to lose some weight, rev up your physical activity or reduce some stress. Whatever your goal, the key to success is to set realistic expectations of yourself. Otherwise, your resolutions will be long gone, and youll be back to your old habits. Here are six ways to help you stick to your guns on your newly-set goals:
find support. Finding support can be crucial for attaining your goal. Share your goal with family and friends. Ask them to try to keep you on track if you start to lose sight of what you want to achieve. Maybe someone you know has the same resolution, and you can support each other with any potential challenges. create smaller goals along the way. Big goals are hard to accomplish, and can seem unrealistic when looking at the big picture. For example, wanting to get rid of all your debt in one year may not be achievable. But, this doesnt mean your resolution is hopeless. Set a smaller goal for debt payoff, like eliminating one credit card balance. A single, smaller balance will be easier to tackle than a long list of bills. Accomplish smaller, related goals, and youll be well on your way. Reward yourself. Lets face it making a change and sticking to it is difficult! If youre working hard, you should reward yourself for your efforts. But be smart about it: Dont eat a giant bowl of ice cream if youve lost those first few pounds. Try to pick a reward that doesnt coun-
teract your resolution. For example, if you love going to the movies, and youve been walking five days a week, treat yourself to a night out with a friend to see the latest new release.
Accept that mistakes happen. Often, when you are stressed or have reached a weak moment, you may find yourself breaking your own promise. Remember, its okay to slip, as long as you get back on track. If youve resolved to eat better, and you find yourself returning to old food habits, dont give up. Keep a journal. Writing down your progress is a proven way to help reach your goal. You can express the difficulties you are having, or the great strides youve made. Writing it out can help keep you focused and motivated throughout the year.
Have a plan. By now youve already made your resolutions, but have you planned specifically how youll succeed? If your resolution is to lose weight, firm up your commitment by joining an exercise class. Or, decide what you will do when youre tempted to break your resolution. The plan could include calling a friend to stay motivated or balancing your checkbook before you spend more money.
So, are you ready to pursue your goals and face your challenges? Imagine how great youll feel when you succeed. Just remember be realistic about what you want to accomplish, have faith in yourself and welcome change into your new year.

any people will pause on January 21 to observe Martin Luther King Day, honoring the Baptist minister who championed social and civil equality. A major force behind the United States Civil Rights Act of l964, Dr. King (he held a Ph.D. in theology) delivered innumerable impassioned speeches. One, of course, made history: his I Have a Dream address during a peaceful march on Washington, D.C.
Dr. King spoke of his dream, looking forward to a future of racial freedom and equality in a time when segregation was legal in some states and commonplace. In fact, he used the phrase I have a dream no fewer than eight times during his landmark address, underlining his personal dream... his life purpose. While some may not know that Dr. King won the Nobel Peace Prize, was named Man of the Year by Time magazine and was assassinated in 1968, his monumental dream lives on. Dr. Kings dream echoes right through to today as the U.S. has elected its first African-American President. But of all the ways Dr. King might have expressed his convictions and faith, why was the idea of a dream so powerful? Because dreams both the sleeping visions and the waking hopes are common to us all.
our eyes dart around rapidly, our heart rate goes up, our arms and legs become temporarily paralyzed and we dream. One of the first discoveries made was that dreams almost always take place during REM sleep. People awakened during REM sleep often relate the odd, illogical stories or scenes we call dreams. Once science woke up to REM, studies of sleep and dreaming began. Today, we know that sleep and the dreams it brings are essential to normal, healthy life.
some organized way all the information bouncing around in our heads. Dreams may be the strange, confusing, beautiful or scary stories that result.
In this new year just beginning, have you thought about your personal dreams for 2009? There has never been a better time to follow your own passion and life purpose, to discover the blessings of wellness in all its forms. As the events of 2008 demonstrated, anything is possible, if you follow your dreams. How appropriate this time is, too, to revisit the 10 Essentials, and commit to your own physical, mental and spiritual wellness. On Martin Luther King Day and throughout 2009, we at TriVita continue to support you in your dreams of health, wealth and wellness, and a life lived with purpose.
While we may not remember our dreams, science tells us that all human beings dream, often for more than two hours each night. Exactly how or why we dream is still unknown, though. Before the 1950s, sleep was thought of as quiet resting, with not much happening in our brains and bodies. But in 1953, researchers studying sleeping babies first described a stage of sleep called REM (rapid eye movement). During REM, 1-800-991-7116
During REM sleep, the parts of the brain used in learning are stimulated. This may explain why infants spend much more time in REM sleep than adults. When we dont get REM sleep, we have trouble learning. In one study, two groups of people were taught a skill. One group was then deprived of REM sleep; and the other group was deprived of non-REM sleep. The people deprived of REM sleep could not later recall what they had learned; the other group was able to remember their new skill. When were awake, its believed that everything we experience is stored somewhere in the brain, like data in a computer. Then, during REM sleep, our brain may be trying to interpret in

No wonder he says that joining TriVita is the best decision I ever made. In less than a year, he has achieved the pinnacle of referral success. Both Godwin and his wife were thrilled beyond words when they found out that they were the Grand Prize winners. Like everything else he does, he always thinks strategically. Thats why Godwin has wisely planned the Hawaiian trip for January to escape the frigid Canadian winter. So, how did Godwin get to this amazing place in his life? Born and raised in Africa, he discovered that his life purpose is answering the call of God to preach the gospel around the world. Godwin is also a practical businessman and was immediately drawn to the vast incomeearning potential that TriVita offers. He asked God to deliver to him a business that would not only allow him to prosper, but also help others find health and wellness. 16 l VITAJOURNAL Celebrating 10 Years of Health and Wellness
His dreams were answered when he received a call out of the blue from a TriVita Business Affiliate. Godwin had been disappointed by his work with other direct sales companies, but he soon discovered that TriVita was different. TriVita is a godsend because its a company that offers integrity and helps people who are less privileged, he says. I was truly impressed by the quality of the management and their visionary quest for health and wellness. I knew that TriVita wasnt a flash in the pan but a company that will be there for a long time. I have finally found an opportunity that helps me fulfill my lifes purpose and that fills my heart with joy.

This company is geared towards helping people, and it has exceeded my expectations in every way. Godwin
Godwin says his purpose as a minister is to answer the call of God to develop new churches and travel the world preaching the gospel. TriVita gives me the freedom to do all that, he comments. This isnt just a business for me; I consider TriVita an important part of my ministry. They have a clear mission and goal to help people; this fits in perfectly with my own lifes purpose. He also found tremendous inspiration in TriVita CEO Michael Ellisons book, 10 Keys to Create Wealth and Wellness. Reading this book was one of Godwins defining experiences because it articulated many of his own beliefs. Michaels book really touched my life, he recalls. Whether you are pursuing wealth or wellness, Michael Ellison considers this part of a lifelong quest, a way of thinking that becomes a way of living that involves your entire being. Thats why I constantly ask myself what I can do to better fulfill my own life purpose. Godwin believes that TriVita is a hidden secret that he wants to share with others. This company is geared towards helping people, he says, and it has exceeded my expectations in every way. Hes also a very generous person and thats why he wants to share some referring tips that propelled him to become Grand Prize Winner.

He also never forgets to create an element of trust. I let people know that Im interested in helping people, not taking advantage of them, he states. I try to gently find out about their people who are homeless and not even sure where their next meal will be coming from. Nutritional supplements may be the last thing on their mind. He never forgets his real purpose
First and foremost, Godwin is a big believer in TriVitas products. He says, They cant be matched for quality, purity and effectiveness. Hes seen tremendous health benefits from TriVita Sublingual B-12, Dr. Libbys Vital C Powdered Crystals and TriVita Daily Men. Godwins wife also enjoys TriVita Daily Women. His referral income allows him to try out other products that he thinks may help him. So, when Godwin approaches a potential referral, he isnt just selling a product; his enthusiasm is very real. According to Godwin, Once people experience the health benefits of these products firsthand, there is no question about them getting signed up and on board. 1-800-991-7116

needs and concerns. Most people will open up if they feel that you are conversing with them and not just trying to sell them a product. I try to find out something about their life and their general health condition and generally recommend one to two products that can help them, Godwin continues. I also freely share my story and let people know how TriVita has helped me in my own lifes journey. Not all of Godwins encounters result in a sale and hes fine with that. He has met several in life; to reach out to help people in every way possible and that may mean helping them find food, shelter and a place to worship if they wish. Helping people get back on their feet gives Godwin a tremendous sense of satisfaction. Thats what he likes most about TriVita hes part of a community where giving is a major part of the corporate culture. Im determined to touch the lives of many people who need help, Godwin resolves. I thank TriVita and Michael Ellison for answering my prayers and allowing me to help people find their own lifes purpose. January 2009 l 17

Soothing sonatas and sounds of the sea may help lower blood pressure
Seattle, Washington Listening to relaxation tapes or Mozart sonatas may help reduce blood pressure, according to a study at Seattle University. Researchers conducted a four-month study that measured the effects of relaxation tapes and classical music on the blood pressure of 41 mentally competent adults in retirement facilities. Participants were divided into two groups: Group one listened to a 12-minute relaxation CD three days a week while group two listened to a 12-minute classical music CD three days a week. On the relaxation CD, a mans voice guided participants through deep breathing and relaxation exercises, with ocean sounds in the background. The music CD featured Mozart sonatas. In the first month of the study, blood pressure and heart rate were taken after each intervention. Participants were then asked to continue with the CDs on their own: three days a week for three months, with follow-up blood pressure readings scheduled for the end of month two and month four. After the first month, systolic (top number) blood pressure fell an average of 6.4% in the relaxation CD group and about 5% in the Mozart group. There was not a statistically significant change in diastolic (bottom number) blood pressure for either group. At the end of the study, it was found that only about half the seniors had continued with the therapy. Only those who had consistently listened to their CDs maintained their reduced blood pressure. Although researchers could not tell if the reduction in blood pressure positively affected the participants health, they did say that in prior studies, reductions of 3% to 5% had been estimated to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease-related death and stroke-related death. They suggested that guided relaxation training could provide a supplemental method for lowering blood pressure. The findings were presented at the American Heart Associations Council for High Blood Pressure Research conference in September 2008.
There is abundance all around you, waiting to be tapped into, but it comes from what you enjoy and practice consistently. There is plenty of wellness to draw from if one will practice those things that create wellness.
There is abundance all around you, waiting to be tapped into, but it comes from what you enjoy and practice consistently. There is plenty of wellness to draw from if one will practice those things that create wellness. Yes, we are genetically different, but thankfully two-thirds of our wellness comes from the things we do to create wellness in our lives. As our government and corporations take time to re-prioritize goals and initiatives, may we also join in RE-PRIORITIZING our lives in 2009. I hope you will find in this New Year those things that will produce abundance in your life. Though there seems to be a world living in lack, we may find there is a newfound abundance of the things which are most meaningful and important in our lives.

The quality of your life is the quality of your relationships. Anthony Robbins
Resolutions that are the most meaningful are those that help us grow in our emotional well-being.
Theres a vast difference between trying to change and actually doing it.
Life offers fresh starts, but we dont always follow through
a moment and think of the five individuals that you are around the most and ask yourself these questions: Am I nourished and renewed by the time spent with these friends? Can I relax, laugh and talk freely with them? Your answers might surprise you.
Research has found that less than 20% of New Years resolutions are realized. Many times you hear people say they are trying to lose weight, quit smoking or improve their relationships. Theres a vast difference between trying to change and actually doing it. The very use of the word trying creates defeat before you get started. Making the choice to do it no matter how long it takes will make your resolution a reality. Change and emotional rejuvenation are a process.
The most powerful source of positive renewal comes from the positive relationships we have in our lives. A strong relationship is a balance of giving and taking, talking and listening, valuing the other person and feeling valued in return. If we perceive that we do most of the giving and get very little in return, we will sense a deficit from the energy expenditure. Watch with care who you spend time with. Surround yourself with positive and loving relationships that make you feel relaxed and rejuvenated. When you do, you will be living a more healthy and anti-aging lifestyle by taking care of your emotional well-being at the start of this new year.
Recently I was attending a seminar and the speaker said, You are the sum of the five people you spend the most time with. Take

re you waiting for Gods promises to be manifested in your life or expecting them? There is a difference, and it lies in the nature of our faith. When we pray for Gods intervening hand and then sit back, passively, it can be easy to tell ourselves weve done all we can. God will get around to it in His own time, and meanwhile we get on with our lives. But when we expect Gods promises to be demonstrated, our faith becomes active. We no longer merely wait for Gods answer, we are hopeful for it and believe it will come in His way and time. Scripture gives us a glorious example of this active faith, or expectation, compared to passive waiting. In Acts 15, we read the story of Paul and Silas. Attacked by an angry mob, beaten and thrown into a dungeon, the two men faced a situation that might have defied the sturdiest conviction of Gods loving will.
The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed...
Romans 8:19
wait for the Almighty to send an earthquake... expect that He will and act as though He already has! When you think about it, its this spirit of expectation that greets every new life. When a woman is pregnant, we dont say that shes waiting for a baby. We say that shes expecting a baby. She doesnt sit back and wait for the baby clothes to somehow appear, or for the crib to be set up, or for birth to just happen, somewhere, somehow. She takes the active steps needed to prepare for the arrival of her child. God has never worked on our timetable. Paul and Silas had no idea of how long they would have to wait for Divine Intervention, maybe because what they were doing wasnt waiting at all. They were expecting the unexpected, confident in their faith, believing in Gods will. It was Paul himself, in a letter to the Romans, who expressed this expectation well in Romans 8:19: The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed... I would emphasize the aspect of eager expectation in this passage, which goes on to describe the joyful anticipation of Gods ultimate plan. Make this the year that you stop waiting, too. Live expectantly with positive affirmation of the manifestation of Gods promises in your life.
Bleeding and friendless, with their feet locked in wooden stocks, Paul and Silas didnt weep, sink into despair or simply wait. Instead, they rejoiced. Yes, they rejoiced in their faith, calling out in worship, singing Gods praises. They believed that Gods perfect plan would soon be evident in their lives; they affirmed it with every song and every prayer. Paul and Silas expected God to show them something, and He did. Verses 25 and 26 tell us, But about midnight, as Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns of praise to God, and the (other) prisoners were listening to them, suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the very foundations of the prison were shaken; and at once all the doors were opened and everyones shackles were unfastened. God responds to our prayers in His way, in His time; there simply is no other, because only He is in control. As we begin this new year, why not resolve to put your faith into action? Dont just 1-800-991-7116
Maybe youve been waiting for your own kind of arrival, praying for a solution that just hasnt come. If we live with Gods Word as the bottom line of our beliefs, expecting that what God has promised will come to pass in His timing, we will see the purpose and destiny He has for us fulfilled.
As we begin this new year, why not resolve to put your faith into action?

Vitamin D a messenger
Information is carried by a number of messengers inside your body, including proteins and fats. Vitamin D can also act like a messenger, telling the cells how much work to do. Think of this like building a house. Proteins give specific instructions in the same way a carpenter may decide how best to connect walls and windows and doors. Fats may serve as the building materials for the entire house. Vitamin D serves as the general contractor to determine how much building should be done at any specific time. We certainly need proteins and protein complexes of Vitamin B-12 to create the structures making up our brain. We also need the fats found in such products as OmegaPrime to serve as raw materials and general information on brain repair. We need Vitamin D to tell us how much brain to build when we are young and how much repair work to do as we age.
doctors who recommend Vitamin D explain that winter cold and flu outbreaks are directly related to Vitamin D deficiency. If you take supplements to ensure youre getting enough Vitamin D, make sure theyre the type that your body can really use. Its best to take supplements formulated for maximum absorption, such as TriVitas VitaCal-Mag D or TriVita Bone Builder. This way, you can help ensure that youre getting the full benefits of Vitamin D to meet the serious challenges of daily life. Tammy Pon, M.D, a functional medicine physician, received her medical degree from the University of Texas in Houston. She completed specialty training in Healthy Aging.
Previous studies have shown that the part of the brain affected most by Parkinsons, the substantia nigra, has high levels of the Vitamin D receptor, which suggests Vitamin D may be important for normal functions of these cells. If we look at other Vitamin D research, low levels of Vitamin D have been found to be associated with: Many neurological diseases such as Parkinsons and Alzheimers Autoimmune disorders such as multiple sclerosis Metabolic disorders such as diabetes. Vitamin D is formed when sunlight strikes the skin and interacts with cholesterol. Its main
We get Vitamin D from sunlight, foods and supplements. Because we are exposed to less sunshine in the winter than in the summer, we need to be more vigilant about supplementing with Vitamin D and exposing our skin to sunshine whenever practical. Most
Growing evidence links low Vitamin D levels to stroke, congestive heart failure and common heart disease risk factors such as hypertension (high blood pressure), obesity and diabetes. Patients with Vitamin D levels below 15 ng/ml double their chances of heart attack or stroke within the next ve years. Researchers strongly recommend screening for and treating low Vitamin D levels, especially in patients who are at risk for heart disease or diabetes. Make sure you get an adequate supply of Vitamin D. Call a Wellness Consultant at 1-800-991-7116 to nd out more about VitaCal-Mag D and Bone Builder.

When you find a good product you should tell people about it!
I started using the Sublingual B-12 in 2003. It makes me feel so great I used to carry it in every pocketbook! I really appreciate how much better I feel. Due to certain circumstances I did not take my TriVita Sublingual B-12 for a short time. Well, remembering how great I felt on the B-12, I decided to reorder!! That lasting memory of how much better I felt on the B-12 always stuck with me. TriVita Sublingual B-12 is just wonderful. I feel a difference in my body I feel more vitality, more energy, and its easier to go up and down stairs. It helps with my daily life. I also just tried the Adaptogen 10 Plus and really liked it. I added it to my monthly Autoship so I can make it a part of my daily regimen with the B-12.
You should consult with a healthcare provider before starting any diet, exercise or supplementation program, before taking any medication, or if you suspect you might have a heart problem. You should not stop taking any medication without first consulting your healthcare provider.

Because she works directly with so many people with numerous health issues, Precious can clearly see some disturbing trends. We live in a fast-paced society where few people eat home-cooked meals, she observes. Too many of us eat processed or fast food, are always in a rush and dont stop to enjoy life. Her response? To recommend TriVita products to anyone who might benefit from them. My patients are very open to trying new products, she says. You can see that Precious has a lot going on in her life. So, its no wonder that when asked what she does in her spare
Like so many people, Precious first found out about TriVita through a late-night infomercial about five years ago. She had just undergone gastric bypass surgery and her doctor recommended B-12 shots to replace the vitamins that she couldnt absorb because of the surgery. However, it became too difficult and expensive to go to the doctor every time she needed a shot. Precious decided to try TriVita Sublingual B-12 and hasnt looked back since... shes just thrilled with the results. Sublingual B-12 worked extremely well from the very beginning. I felt an immediate boost and my doctor has been pleased to see that my B-12 levels continue to stay within the normal range. Now shes happily moved on to Super Sublingual B-12 and she describes the enhanced effect as fantastic I get a bigger boost and I love the added ginseng. Ive also added TriVitas Gingko Biloba.

then suggested VisionGuard. After only one month, her doctor noticed a big improvement in her eyes. Debra continues to take VisionGuard and is absolutely thrilled with the results.
precious is quick to help family and friends enjoy better health, too
For example, her sister had anemia and complained about being tired. Precious recommended Sublingual B-12, which helped her sisters energy. Her daughter, Ebonee, is an opera singer and takes both Sublingual B-12 and Adaptogen 10 Plus to help cope with her stressful life. Says Precious, It works wonders, and she loves both products. She also recommended VisionGuard to her dear friend, Debra, who was having glaucoma problems. The doctor started Debra on medication which caused dark circles under her eyes. Precious
Although Precious main referral goal is to help other people get well, she also enjoys the financial rewards. She has earned as much as $150 in monthly gift cards and compensation checks and that allows her to buy all her favorite TriVita products and try new ones. Precious is currently on autoship, which she describes as a breeze, because I never have to remember to place my order. She says the personal satisfaction of helping other people in their wellness journey is absolutely indescribable. If you know about something good, you want to pass it along.

ust as our bodies need daily exercise to stay healthy and fit, so do our minds. Growing evidence suggests that the more we exercise our mind, the sharper we become. Searching the Internet has become a popular exercise to boost brain fitness. A study at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) examined two groups of adults ages 55 to 76; one with Internet experience, and the other without. Of the two groups, the members who had experience with the Internet used their brain more than those who didnt. According to Dr. Gary Small, a UCLA expert on aging, this suggests that Internet use helps keep the brain active and healthy. Other studies show that tasks like learning a language, taking up a hobby or practicing crossword puzzles can all contribute to brain fitness.

When it comes to financial planning, most of us could use some expert advice. And because life expectancy keeps increasing, seniors are finding themselves retired much longer than previous generations. This means the retirement plans of yesterday wont work for today or tomorrow. Be sure youre prepared for this extended phase of life by consulting a financial planner (check credentials before hiring anyone). He or she will be able to assess your specific situation and offer the best suggestions to fit your needs. Whether you plan your own retirement strategy or seek expert advice, the important thing is to plan. Take steps today so youll be retirementready tomorrow.
