Experiencing WellnessIn Their Own Words

This is the firsttime in six yearsthat Ive been ableto walk so far,thanks to Nopalea!

A little more than six

years ago while playing soccer I snapped

my Achilles tendon. Every day I limpedand experienced painful agony when

walking on hard surfaces. After four

weeks of taking Nopalea, I walked for 60

minutes in a shopping complex on hard

marble floors without pain in my leg. This

is the first time in six years that Ive been

able to walk so far, thanks to Nopalea!*

LARS F., AFFILIATE MEMBER

WILLETTON, WA, AUSTRALIA

I have noticed that I havemore energy and am able tolift my arm up above my head.

I suffer from inflammation and chronic

fatigue throughout my body. Analysis of

my blood shows this very clearly. I also

have pain caused by food allergies.

I decided to start drinking Nopalea to seeif I could minimise these symptoms. To

my amazement. I have noticed that I have

more energy and am able to lift my arm

up above my head without unbearable

pain. I am very clear that quick overnight

cures dont exist. This problem has been a

long time coming and so I knew that it was

going to take a while.

I didnt take Nopalea for 10 days because Iran out of it and was helping prepare for a

wedding. Thinking that I would revert back

to my painful state from two months ago,

I was pleasantly surprised that it remained

at an even keel. I have now restarted

Nopalea again and have found that I can

actually feel the product working, which is

a very pleasant surprise.

We believe wehave found abusiness thatwill enable us toachieve every-thing we everdreamed of.

Joining with TriVita was the best businessdecision we have ever made. We hadmany years of experience in the directsales industry with different companies,however we have had only moderatesuccess along the way, even after puttingin a great deal of time and effort.

Just recently, we were called by an oldbuddy from a former company with abusiness offer. We respectfully declined

without doing any homework and wenton doing other things. He called backon a few occasions to let us know of hisprogress. Finally, curiosity got the betterof us. We did some concentrated duediligence and discovered several distinctdifferences to what we had experienced,so we made the decision to embark ona career with TriVita. We are so pleasedwe did.

In the space of three months, the businesshas grown faster than any former businesswe had been in. Weve attracted othersfor similar reasons. They could see thebenefits of the TriVita way of buildinga business, enabling anyone who isprepared to give it a go to be successful.

TriVita offers hope to generations ofburnt out networkers.

The TriVita marketing model is refreshingly

different to the fishbowl frenzy of MLM.We are also very impressed with the longlist of testimonials about TriVitas flagshipproduct, Nopalea, as we also are aboutthe mission of the company wellness.

Thank you, Michael Ellison, for your vision,your business acumen and your aspirationto achieve excellence in all that you do.

We believe we have found a business thatwill enable us to achieve everything we

ever dreamed of.

I am so excited withthe results I have hadfrom taking Nopalea.For many years I have lived

with sometimes debilitating

pain from a joint condition.

I refused to go down the

track of pain medications because I knewthe side effects of taking these drugs. I have

tried various natural (and sometimes costly)

remedies with very little result. My pain

was so bad at times, I could not do the

gardening I loved.

So, you can imagine my excitement when

this awful pain started getting better. Not

only am I suff

ering from less pain, but I amsleeping better. My hay fever, which was

constant all year round, has all but gone and

I am only in the early stages of taking this

incredible Nopalea. I am so excited with the

results I have had from taking Nopalea, and I

have only been drinking it for 30 days.

I just know so many people are going to be

so much healthier and better in so many

ways how exciting! This is what Nopalea

has done for me, and I am really looking

These are just a few of the inspiringtestimonials from people whohave taken the Nopalea Wellness

Challenge. Could you feel better, too?Now is the perfect time to find out. So,take the Challenge and make a majordifference in your own life.

I am now sleepinglike a top and feelfull of vim again.I started drinking Nopaleaa couple of months ago. Imalso drinking lots of freshclean water, being more

selective with what I eat and doing a few deepbreathing exercises.

The results are very impressive. I sleep a wholelot better and the soreness in my feet whichkept me awake at night has gone away. Infact, after two months of the Nopalea LoadingPhase, I am now sleeping like a top and feel fullof vim again. The circulation to my lower legs ismuch better and Im back to normal again afterabout five sleep-deprived years.

Thanks TriVita for Nopalea. Its working for me!

seven months, I could not lift my arm tobeyond the horizontal position and I couldonly do that with the help of my right handsupporting it. Treatments provided minimal,temporary pain relief.

During a visit to the U.S. I saw the Nopaleainfomercial. I decided to purchase the4-Pack. By the time I started on the secondbottle I noticed that I could lift my left arm

much higher without any assistance frommy right hand. Even more amazing I wasno longer experiencing any pain.

About six months later, I can lift my leftarm vertically, and without any pain.During this period, I havent required anyphysiotherapy, massage or acupuncturetreatments. I have convinced at least sevenof my friends to try Nopalea and they arenow devoted fans.*

forward to seeing what else this wonderful

Nopalea will do, not just for me, but for so

many people.*

VALERIE S., AFFILIATE MEMBER

FRANKSTON, VIC, AUSTRALIA

I didnt have theswelling and pain thatI've experienced somany times before.

I'm a 49-year-old Pro RodeoChampion from South Dakota

and compete nationally

in Steer Wrestling and Roping. Working

in the rodeo has especially impacted myshoulders, causing me pain. But then I found

out about Nopalea from my mother who

recommended that I try it because of my

aches and pains.

Just several days after starting Nopalea,

I took a nasty fall and hurt my knee

pretty bad in a competition. I was due to

continue the competition over the nextfew days, but I feared the worst. I thought I

would have to quit, because the last time I

felt like this, I was out for almost a month.

Much to my surprise, the next day I didnt

have the swelling and pain that I've

experienced so many times before. I was

not only feeling pretty good, I was able

to compete the next two days and finishwhat I was there for! I didnt think Nopalea

would be able to help me so fast.

I also noticed that since taking the

Nopalea, my sleep pattern is much

better. I used to wake at the early hours

of the morning and now, I find that I

am sleeping better and longer without

that interruption.

JB LORD., AFFILIATE MEMBER

PIEDMONT, SD, USA

After only three daysof taking Nopalea Istarted feeling great.Ive been riding horses and

barrel racing since I was 6, but

I didnt start my bull riding

career until I was 29. It was an adrenaline

rush like I had never felt before.

I joined the Professional Womens Rodeo

Association and won many bull riding

competitions; my proudest moment was

becoming the 1993 World Champion BullRider. But it cost me something: Ive broken

about 25 bones. I was hurting all the time

and it caused a lot of inflammation.

Once in a barrel race my horse bucked me

off, and I was knocked unconscious with

a concussion and a dislocated rib. I had

additional health issues, and was pretty

much homebound for three months.

I heard about Nopalea on a TV show, and

after only three days of taking it twice a

day, I started feeling great. I had forgotten

what it was like not to hurt every day, and

truly thought I would have to live with the

pain forever. Now, I am learning to live again

and can do ranch work and ride my horses

competitively without aches and soreness.I no longer have to pace myself or choose

what I can do each day. I can do everything

and anything. I am living every cowgirls

dream and I couldnt be any happier.

MELISSA P., AFFILIATE MEMBER

HASKELL, OK, USA

My feet no longer areswollen and I have aton of energy."After taking Nopalea for a

short while, I realised my feet

didnt swell as much, and I

had a ton of energy. I used

to have a lot of pain in my shoulder and a

surgeon recommended surgery. Since taking

Nopalea, my finger, neck and shoulder arealmost pain-free. Im 55 and am back to

exercising every day. I feel great when done

and I dont need pain killers to recover. As

a result, Im losing weight and getting my

swimmers body back!

JOHNATHAN M., AFFILIATE MEMBER

POUGHKEEPSIE, NY, USA

now, thanks toNopalea, Im up andaround, riding withmy son.I was in complete agony

after multiple surgeries fornumerous health issues.

Nothing I tried seemed to help me, and

after years of suffering horrible aches and

soreness in my joints and neck, I was praying

for relief. A couple of years ago my son

started taking barrel racing lessons, and I

wanted to ride with him. The consequences

were bad: after horseback riding, I couldnt

walk for two to three days.

I was a little sceptical when I first heard

about Nopalea, but I was so tired of the

constant soreness and aches I was willing

to give it a try. Now you wont see me

walking with a limp I can even run! Im

no longer suffering.

I could barely walk eight months ago andnow, thanks to Nopalea, Im up and around,

riding with my son, doing the things I want

to do for the first time in a long time. My

friends and family are amazed. Nopalea took

away the debilitating aches in my joints and

now I feel just wonderful!

Id just like to thank you so much for this

product. I will never stop taking Nopalea.MELODY C., AFFILIATE MEMBER

The VitaJournalis privileged tofeature this interview with

CEO Michael Ellison as he

shares his personal perspectives

on: Optimal Wellness.

We often hear you talk about OptimalWellness what does this mean to you?Optimal Wellness is a state of being.

When someone asks How are you?we might reply I feel good we look atwellness as the way we feel, but itisnt about feeling: its about being. Youcan have the physical capacity to dosomething without feeling the energy todo it. For example, this morning I didntfeel like working out at 6:30, but 10minutes into it I felt great. Optimal

Wellness isnt an arrival, or a destinationpoint. I would define Optimal Wellnesslike this:

Physically, it is having the vitality andenergy to do the things you need andlove to do.

Emotionally, it is when our lives arefilled with positive emotions love,gratitude, forgiveness, acceptance. Itsreally an Optimal Wellness response

you are having to both external andinternal conditions.

Spiritually, it is being connected to Godand His purposes for your life.

Optimal Wellness in my opinion is thehighest quality of life a person can liveas it does not depend on external

conditions or feelings in the way youlive your life. It is internally-driven.

As our TriVita community knows, weadvocate practicing the 10 Essentialsdaily to help people live more joyful livesthrough better physical, emotional andspiritual health (see page 2). This is thefoundation we use to build OptimalWellness. Optimal Wellness means

elevating the state youre in. You mightthink of it as a variation on the U.S. Armyslogan, Be all you can be. But myversion, my definition of OptimalWellness, is Being all you can be.

So does Optimal Wellness mean livingthe 10 Essentials?In pursuit of Optimal Wellness, thereshould be a plan a plan for you toreceive something we all need every day.The 10 Essentials are a road map to get

you to Optimal Wellness. Perhaps this isa huge concept for people to accept butthey are the essentials to wellness. Do

you realize that 9 of the 10 Essentials areabout nurturing? Of course, its vital forus to receive all the nutrients our phys-ical bodies need; most people do not getthem from food, so that is why we offertargeted nutrition through our nutritional

products. But the larger question is,How do I nurture myself every day so Ihave the health and wellness to fulfill mylife purposes? The 10 Essentials arethere to guide you.

Has your idea of wellness changedover the years?Absolutely. My views are much morefocused on the nurturing, emotional sideof wellness now. Ive come to understandthe significant role that positive emotionplays in our wellness, including ourphysical wellness. For example, if yourlife is filled with anger or hostility, thiscreates a chemical imbalance in thebody. It weakens the cells, and sets us up

for illness. Or look at the impact of stress.Stress can lead to overeating, whichleads to obesity, which we know contrib-utes to so many health problems.

Personal perspectives on living a more joyful life


11/32


Remember, were not human doings, buthuman beings. Optimal Wellness is aboutfinding and living in that state of beingwhere you nurture yourself.

How has your experience leading TriVita

affected your view of wellness?I recognise how challenging it is to leadpeople in changing their attitudes andbehaviours. We in North America havebeen influenced significantly by atreatment mentality: If you have ahealth problem, you go to a doctor andtake a pill. Please understand: I thinkhealthcare professionals are important,

and provide vital services for us all. Butask almost anyone in the medicalcommunity what the solution is to ourcurrent health crisis, and theyll tell youthat the answer is living healthier: gettingthe nutrients and nurturing that we needphysically, emotionally and spiritually.

When we live the 10 Essentials, we can

be internally-driven to make the bestchoices for ourselves. Without the selfnurturing from the 10 Essentials, weremain externally-driven, and subject tooutside influences. Food marketers, forexample, are brilliant at using ourappetites for sugar, salt and fat. But thesethings in excess do not promote OptimalWellness. So, we have to identify some-

thing thats bigger than those appetites.

Maybe that something is your childrenor grandchildren, for example. Theyreimportant to you, so youll do the thingsthat give you Optimal Wellness so youcan be with them, doing the things theylove to do while being an example fortheir quality of life.

TriVita has been on the forefront of

healthy living for years. Does that bringyou satisfaction?Yes, but my greatest satisfaction is all thephone calls, emails and letters I receivefrom people who have their Aha!moment. Thats when they realize thatthe 10 Essentials are so simple yet so

powerful. They begin to embrace them,by starting with a product like Nopalea,for example. As it helps lower inflamma-tion and raises their quality of life, theyre

motivated to do more for themselves, tonurture themselves by integrating moreof the 10 Essentials into their daily lives.

When you consider your own life purpose,has that changed over the years?Today, I can say that my life purpose haschanged in its expression, but not thecore. Ive travelled the world and seenthe poorest of human conditions, andthose experiences touch my heart andsoul. Since I was a little boy, Ive feltcompassion for the suffering of others,and so humanitarianism has always beenand will be a part of my life. But today,helping people have quality nutraceuticalproducts and the information to inspireand support their practice of the10 Essentials for Optimal Wellness living,is the expression of my life purpose.

Weve heard you use the phrase wealthand wellness. How do they connect?When I use the phrase wealth andwellness, Im not talking about wealth

for opulent living. Im talking aboutwealth as having the resources neces-sary to fulfill your life purpose. I believelife purpose wealth, which includesrelationships and money, is available toevery person, at any age. If you donthave purpose, you really dont needwealth or wellness.

What can we do every day to help enjoyOptimal Wellness?Practice the 10 Essentials. Remember,this doesnt mean you wont have a

setback from time to time, and it isntabout arriving at an ultimate place. Itmeans youre giving yourself the vitalityand energy needed to fulfill your lifepurpose, to optimise your internally-driven life.

What obstacles to Optimal Wellnessshould we be aware of?Everything centres around attitudes andbehaviours, and how we respond toexternal influences. The key is aware-ness: if were aware of these influences,then we can be internally driven by ourvalues and our purpose.

What final thoughts would you like toshare about Optimal Wellness?Its not a destination its a journey. Itsnot about feeling its about being. Itsabout being connected to those thingsthat are important in helping you fulfill

your life purpose. Its about filling yourlife each day with vitality and energyfrom proper nutrients and nurturing, andfeeling connected to God for His purposefor your life. If you have all this, you haveOptimal Wellness.

You probably know the term seniormoment: suddenly you cantremember your favourite uncles

name, or where you parked the car.These lapses happen to most of us fromtime to time, especially as we age. Whatsfascinating to me now, though, is thatthese occurrences are affecting people

much younger than medical scienceused to expect.

For a long time, medical science hasknown that the human brain changes withage: it literally erodes, or loses volume,over time. Statistics from the 1970s and80s found brain erosion (sometimes upto 25%) only in people over age 50. Justa few years ago, however, a major study

conducted by Washington University in St.Louis, MO, detected brain volume loss asearly as age 30. And, the researchers alsofound that this brain erosion often leads tomental confusion and memory loss.

More recently researchers at Wayne StateUniversitys Department of Psychologyadded to this growing body of studieswith another finding: the speed of brain

erosion, and the brain regions affected,varies widely, even among healthypeople. Although this study didnt lookat the reasons for these variations, Icould make an educated guess thatVitamin B-12 might have been a factor.Its established medical fact that VitaminB-12 plays a big role in mental sharpness,memory, mood and energy.

Correct a B-12 deficiency, correctmemory loss?No less an authority than HarvardMedical School plainly endorses the useof B-12 to treat memory loss caused by adeficiency of B-12. The prestigious schoolsupports these findings:

t A lack of Vitamin B-12 can causepermanent damage to brain cells

t Vitamin B-12 deficiency is among

the reversible causes of memory loss(along with stress and disease)

t Addressing B-12 deficiency is atreatment for memory loss

t Addressing B-12 deficiency early canhelp bring back lost memory function

t Ignoring B-12 deficiency can worsenmemory loss

Theres more evidence pointing to thevalue of B-12 in helping protect againstbrain issues among younger people.

According to the National Institutes ofHealth, one study suggests that B-12deficiency affects a much broader agerange than many have thought. Thestudy, published in theAmerican Journalof Clinical Nutrition, pointed to threedifferent age groups found to have aboutthe same deficiency in blood levels ofB-12: those 65 and over, those ages 50-64,and those ages 26-49. Thats right: People

as young as 26 turned out to be as B-12deficient as some people over 65.

Across ages, supplement usershave better resultsThe study of B-12 deficiency acrossthree age groups turned up anotherimportant finding:

those who did not take asupplement containing VitaminB-12 were twice as likely tobe Vitamin B-12 deficient as

supplement users, regardlessof age group.

So, if you or a loved one may not get allthe B-12 needed from food, I encourage

you to look into B-12 supplementation.Leading research indicates that the needto feed our brains with this powerhouse

vitamin may begin not in our 50s or 40sor even 30s, but as early as in our 20s.Clearly, as research keeps confirming,B-12 is far too important to ignore orto forget.

Vitamin B-12 can help protectagainst erosion, deficiencies as

early as the 30s

has improved, andI am working muchmore efficiently.

I am 55 years old and drive

a truck for a living. Living in

a fast-paced city the size of Brisbane means

you have to be on your game mentally,

physically and spiritually.

Just prior to taking Sublingual B-12, Ifound myself experiencing major health

problems, including lack of concentration

and continual fatigue. In fact, I was always

so tired that I was on the verge of resigning

from my company. My situation was

becoming very difficult.

Then I was introduced to Sublingual B-12

which has impacted my life in a big way.

Today, I wake refreshed, Im sleeping better

than ever, my concentration has improved,

and I am working much more efficiently.

I used to hate going to work and always

complaining about my job. I was also

unable to enjoy music, which is my passion,

because I couldn't concentrate on anything.

I don't recommend anything to anyone

unless I know that it works and today I am

recommending Sublingual B-12 to all my

silently, attentively, completely lost in

his story. He told about the fruit and

how it was a blessing from God. He

talked about how eating the fruit made

them part of the land, until the people

and the land were inseparable. He

talked about the deer and the fox that

also ate the fruit and how the people

needed to watch over them and protectthem like they were family. When the

people were sufficiently humbled, it was time for the harvest.

Angel and his wife instructed the people on how to harvest

the fruit: Pick only the ones kissed by God (the ripe, ruby

red fruit at the top of the Nopal plant). These are the ones

for the people. Leave all the rest for the animals of the

Sonoran Desert, they said.

Angel spoke of the need of the people to be good stewards

of the resources and custodians of the animals. He spoke

about the mummy deer that needed to feed their babies

from the Nopal fruit on the lower branches; he told of the

mummy foxes that brought their babies to him as if to plead

with him to leave them some food. As I looked at him, tears

were gently rolling down that rugged, patient face as the chil-dren completely mesmerised learned a lesson that would

mold every decision they made for the rest of their lives.

A reverence toward the land

We learned our lesson that day as well:

the Sonoran Desert is a wellspring of

wellness. It provides an abundance of

Nopal fruit that we can use to resist

inflammation and improve our health

to become a vibrant, happy group with

enthusiasm for life just like the Pima

people. And we must be thankful andgrateful for the gifts of the Sonora; but,

we must join this noble, happy people as guardians of its

resources and custodians of our extended family, the

deers and foxes!

The Nopal fruit is only harvested once per year. TriVita

contracts with the Sonoran natives to harvest the fruit

according to time-honored traditions that demonstraterespect for the land. The tribal elders in charge of the harvest

always consider the future when they agree to share their

Nopal fruit. The common ethic is, Never make a decision

until you have considered its impact on the seventh genera-

tion from today. This ethic stands as a guarantee that we will

never over-harvest this God-given anti-inflammatory Nopal

fruit which has given us our amazing breakthrough wellness

drink Nopalea.

Anew process has been discoveredfor turning the food we eat intoenergy: exercise. Normally, humans

turn food into energy through metabolism a Greek word that describes how heatand light are created by burning woodin a fire. Metabolism is an example of

controlled inflammation: the fire insideyou that turns food into energy. We burnsome of that energy at rest, but we burnmore of it when we exercise.

Chicken or egg?We need energy to exercise. But now itseems that exercise is itself a source ofenergy. So, the question becomes, do

fitness fanatics exercise because theyhave a lot of energy, or, does exercisegive our health nut friends the energywe envy?

As it turns out, the answer to bothquestions is yes!

We create energy as we burn sugars

(carbohydrates), protein and fats. Theseare called macronutrients. Each has aburn-rate that supplies us with fuel: sugar

burns quickly, protein takes longer toburn but the undisputed champion ofstamina is healthy dietary fat.

Dietary fats burn slowly. The fats thatwe dont harvest as fuel for energyproduction are used in creating certain

structures inside our body. For example,brain cells are made mostly of fats.The healthier the fats are in our diet,the healthier our brain may become.Hormones are made mostly of fats.The healthier the fats are in our diet,the better our hormones will balance.Cholesterol is made of fat. The healthierthe fats are in our diet, the healthier our

cholesterol levels will be.

We need healthy fats for stamina, ahealthy brain, balanced hormonesand optimum cholesterol.

Energy from exercise

Fats recycle in our body when weexercise. For example, fats may become

cholesterol. Some of our healthycholesterol may end up in our skinwhere hormones interact with sunlight

to produce Vitamin D. Vitamin D thentransports unused fats and cholesterolfrom our skin into our muscles. In thisway, fats are recycled and cholesterol iskept low.

As it turns out, our body recycles fats

with Vitamin D; it recycles Vitamin Dthrough strenuous muscle exertion exercise! Even spending appropriate timein the sun and taking Vitamin D-richsupplements will not recycle Vitamin Dunless you also exercise.

So it seems that expending energyactivates the pathway to give us moreenergy. Keep this saying in mind:The less you move, the less you wantto move and the less you are able tomove; the more you move, the more

you want to move and the more youare able to move!

In life, inevitably, wewill face circum-stances and events

that will challenge ouremotional health andwell-being. Sometimesthey are many smallfrustrations and disap-pointments, such asstruggling to lose

weight only to regain it, or getting overlookedfor a promotion at work that you felt

you deserved.

Other times the problems we face aredeep, gut-wrenching traumas. Manypeople may be facing or have facedfinancial losses, a marriage breakup,debilitating disease or perhaps theuntimely loss of a loved one. Whenthese problem situations happen to us,we have a choice in how we react.

We can resist and become frustrated,bitter, and exhausted by spending all ofour energy regretting or longing for thepast. Studies have shown that continuallyfeeling angry, frustrated or depressed byevents beyond your control is extremelyunhealthy. If you have a hard time goingwith the flow or facing the facts, youmight be putting yourself at risk forserious health problems.

On the other hand, we can deal with ourdisappointments and circumstances bydeveloping acceptance. The concept of

acceptance is powerful. Its aboutcoming to terms with reality, no matterhow unfair or unpleasant it may be.

Practicing acceptance can help ease thetension and stress, while allowing us tosee our situations more clearly.

Release the feeling of powerlessnessIn life you will face circumstances that

you cannot control. Feeling powerless isactually a control issue. You will need torecognise that there are people, problemsand things that are uncontrollable and

unchangeable and out of your power tocompletely affect or change.

When you feel out of control andpowerless, remember that by acceptingwhat IS at the moment, you can rely onGod for strength and power. According toscripture, God is my strength and power:and He makes my way perfect, II Sam22:33. It is not your strength alone, butalso Gods, that enables you to acceptwhat you cannot control or change.

Relinquish the pain of the pastMany times it is easy to blame ourmisfortune on someone else, saying, If my

financial advisor had only warned me, Iwouldnt be in this mess. Or, If Susie hadonly told me she was unhappy before it

was too late, we might still be together.If onlys, dont change the circum-stances. Only you can accept what IS.We cant cry about unpleasant circum-stances and expect them to change.Accepting what IS and deciding tochange your feelings about it creates anatmosphere to help heal your pain.

Reclaim possibilities throughacceptanceMake this a season of healing and changeas you develop the practice of acceptance.The healing and liberating power ofacceptance comes when you choose toaccept the experience you have had orare having at this moment, no matter whatit is. That doesnt mean we have to behappy with our current circumstances,

but acceptance means you acknowledgeand accept where you are in life at thismoment. In every problem that we face,no matter how dark it seems, there isopportunity for something magnificentto appear.

Judy Ellison, Ph.D., is a psychologist, author

and motivational speaker in Scottsdale,Arizona, USA. She has inspired peoplearound the world to reach within and findtheir passionate purpose to live a moremeaningful life.

The Healing andLiberating Powerof Acceptance

By Dr. Judy

Accepting does not necessarily mean liking, enjoying,or condoning. I can accept what is and be determinedto evolve from there. It is not acceptance but denial thatleaves me stuck. Nathaniel Branden

In every problem that we face,no matter how dark it seems,

there is opportunity for somethingmagnificent to appear.

Why Vitamin Cis so importantIts more crucial to your healththan you might think

Would you like to hear somethinginteresting about Vitamin C? Almost allmammals produce Vitamin C as ascorbicacid in their livers. But not humans. In fact,

almost all animals in the Animal Kingdomproduce Vitamin C every day to maintaintheir health. Why dont humans produceVitamin C? How much Vitamin C do you

need to take? What effect does Vitamin Chave in your body?

How much Vitamin C do you need?

Lets answer the easy question first: Howmuch Vitamin C does a person need totake? Well, when animals produceVitamin C it is according to their needs atthat time in their lives. A young dolphin

may produce much more Vitamin C thanan older sibling or parent. However, alldolphins and all other animals producemore Vitamin C when they have aninfection, when they are exposed to toxinsand when they are under stress. So, weunderstand that people need differentamounts of Vitamin C at different times intheir lives. They also need more Vitamin

C when they face challenges to theirhealth and well-being.

How your body uses Vitamin C

What does your body do with all thatVitamin C? Well, Vitamin C makes thingshappen. In the human body, Vitamin Cmakes almost everything happen!

Bones All the minerals in your bones

require Vitamin C to turn them from lifelessrocks into health-building minerals.

Blood Your blood needs Vitamin C toconvert iron into hemoglobin.

Thyroid Your thyroid gland needsVitamin C to convert copper into thyroidenzymes that carry protein.

Collagen All of the collagen in yourskin, gums and the rest of your body

requires Vitamin C to convert dead proteinfrom your diet into living tissue. Thismakes you look good as well as feel good!

Immune system function Vitamin Cactivates a certain kind of immune cellcalled a lymphocyte. Lymphocytes, as thename implies, live mostly in your lymphsystem. However, they can travel in yourbloodstream as well. Lymphocytes that

have been activated by your thymus glandcan go anywhere in your body to helpfight disease. The thymus gland usesVitamin C to program lymphocytes tosearch out one specific target and helpdestroy it.

Antioxidant protection Vitamin C isalso an antioxidant. Your body uses it to

make glutathione the mother of allantioxidants. Whats more, all otherantioxidants can be refreshed by VitaminC. Important antioxidants like Vitamins Aand E can have their lifespan extended byVitamin C. Antioxidants protect you frompremature aging.

Why we need Vitamin C fromoutside sources

The final question is: Why dont humansproduce Vitamin C like other animals?The answer is, no one knows. What we do

know is that people are healthier whenthey eat Vitamin C-rich fruits andvegetables. And in this stress-filled, toxicworld we have created, more Vitamin C isneeded than a depleted diet can provide.This is why we have supplements tohelp us compensate for the specialcircumstances we face in todays world.

Audrey L. has seen more thanher share of health issues. Aregistered comprehensive nurse,

this Brisbane resident had to partiallyretire due to deteriorating health over thelast few years.

I have been suffering with tingling andnumbness on my left side from my neckto my fingertips for many years, saysAudrey. I was unable to sleep on my leftside. Oftentimes I would wake up cryingwith pain in my left arm, especially if Ihad rolled over onto it. It would go numband feel dead. When using the computer

for longer than 30 minutes I lost allfeeling in my left hand with excruciatingpain up and down my left side. I couldnot open any type of container with alid or using a can opener.

Audrey was diagnosed with a nerveentrapment in both wrists but did nothave surgery due to another condition

chronically stiff and painful wristjoints. She took several medications todeal with the pain. But things started tochange after Audrey got her first bottleof Nopalea.

A week after taking Nopalea, I foundmyself actually turning onto my left sideto sleep. I usually lie on my left sidenow when I get into bed and have hadno numbness or dead arm. The pain in

my right hand improvedalmost 100% and now I amable to open bottles andcans with no pain at all.Today I am also able to sitat the computer and type for a couple

of hours. Audrey has also stoppedtaking her pain and anti-inflammatorymedication.

The relief continues

Audrey suffered with extreme allergies;her symptoms were especially acuteduring the night, contributing to ongoinginsomnia. At times, her symptoms

became so severe that she had totake sick leave from work. The onlyeffective relief came from a prescriptionmedication that can suppress theimmune system, lead to premature agingand block the absorption of VitaminB-12. So she was more than happy togive Nopalea and Sublingual B-12 a try.

Within a short time, Audrey began toexperience great improvements in herallergy symptoms. She stopped takingher prescription medication* and saysshe is now almost completely allergyfree. My husband is a truck driver andis usually in bed around 9 p.m., so henoticed I was going to bed earlier andthat I hadnt been waking him up duringthe night from sniffing and sneezing.

Audrey also points out quick resultsfrom taking Sublingual B-12. A medicaltreatment 12 years ago for an overactivethyroid had affected her ability to retaininformation and concentrate. The

third day after taking B-12 I noticed thedifference, asserts Audrey. I was morealert and clearer thinking.

Audrey doesnt hesitate to tell othersabout the great experience shes hadwith Nopalea and Sublingual B-12.I am so excited with the results usingNopalea and B-12. I am truly aproduct

of the product!

*Results may vary. Do not stop taking any medica-

tion without rst consulting your healthcare pro-vider. If symptoms persist more than two weeks,contact your healthcare provider.

andSublingual B-12have turned aroundAudreys healthI am truly aproductof the product!

Chocolate lovers, rejoice: you may have a healthier heartPerth, WA

Heart problems may be less likelyin older women who eat chocolate,

say researchers in theArchives ofInternal Medicine.

Scientists followed 1,216 women overthe age of 70 for 10 years. They foundthat those who ate chocolate at leastonce a week (one serving was equalto the amount of cocoa in one cup ofhot cocoa) were 35% less likely to behospitalised or die from heart disease

and 60% less likely to be hospitalised ordie from heart failure than those who ate

less than one serving per week.They found that the women who atechocolate daily and those who ateit weekly experienced comparableheart health benefits. However, moreresearch is needed to explain the resultsof the study.

Skin, hair reflects eating habitsGold Coast, QLD

Experts agree that a balancedwholesome diet will keep your skinhealthy. However, according to a reportin the Gold Coast Mail, there are specificfoods that will give it a boost. The mostimportant component for good skinis Vitamin A, which can be found in avariety of low-fat dairy products. Theantioxidants in blackberries, blueberries,strawberries and plums also protect fromthe damage of free radicals. Salmon,

walnuts, canola oil and flaxseed deliveressential fatty acids that are necessaryfor healthy membranes.

These foods, along with beans andleafy green vegetables will help ensurehealthy hair. Unlike the skin, hair cannotrepair itself. That is why getting the rightbalance of vitamins and proteins is so

important.

Low Vitamin D levels linked to diabetes riskMelbourne, VIC

Low Vitamin D levels are associated withtype 2 diabetes risk, according to a studypublished inDiabetes Care. Scientistsfrom the University of Melbourne foundthat people with lower than averageVitamin D levels had a 57% higherchance of developing diabetes thanpeople with Vitamin D levels in therecommended range.

Researchers measured Vitamin D levels inover 5,000 people without diabetes. After

five years, researchers measured VitaminD levels again and determined that 200 ofthe participants had developed diabetes.They found that 6 in 100 people with lowVitamin D levels developed diabetes,versus 3 in 100 with regular levels thatdeveloped diabetes.

Further studies are needed to determineif supplementation affects diabetes riskand if so, how much is required.

HEALTHY WEIGHT

HEALTHY WEIGHT

=HEALTHY HEART

These days, most people know that carrying ext raweight can spell trouble for heart health. Add thecontinuing increase in overweight and obesity,

and youve got a recipe for disaster. So how can you help

yourself be in the low risk categor y?

First things first: how much is too much?

Two common guidelines of overweight and obesity arewaist circumference and body mass index (BMI). A waistlarger than 101.6 centimeters for men and larger than 88.9centimeters for women is considered high-risk.

BMI takes your height

and weight into consider-ation to determine if you are

underweight, normal, over-

weight or obese. Check the

chart to the right to see where

you stand.

If you are in the overweight or obese category, you may

want to consider making some lifestyle changes. The

bottom line is this: carry around too much weight, andyou carry around some serious r isks to your heart health.

5 kilograms can make a difference

It may sound hard to believe but its true: Losing as little as

5 kilograms extra can cut your risk of disease even death.

With so much at stake, why not take action today for lasting

weight loss? The U.S. National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute

offers these key reasons and recommendations for reaching a

healthy weight:

t To lower elevated blood pressure.

t To lower elevated levels of total cholesterol, LDL

(bad) cholesterol, and triglycerides, and to raise

low levels of HDL (good) cholesterol.

t To lower elevated blood glucose levels.

t Weight loss should be about .5 to 1 kilograms per week

for a period of six months; after that, base a weight loss

plan on the amount of weight lost.

t The combination of a reduced calorie diet and

increased physical activity is recommended since

it produces weight loss that may also result in

decreases in abdominal fat and increases in

cardiorespiratory fitness.

10 Essentials

for Health andWellnessLet the elements ofhealthy living enhanceyour life

TriVita was founded on the keysto living a fulfilling, healthy lifeof purpose. We call them the 10

Essentials for Health and Wellness, and

theyve helped guide countless numbersof people on their wellness journeys.

Essential #1: Breathe Deeply

Inhale a full measure of reviving air,hold, then release stress and toxins.

A healthy immune system is dependentupon deep breathing. Your lymphaticsystem powers the immune response in

your body, and lymph fluid moves as youinhale and exhale by deep breathing.

Essential #2: Drink WaterIts the original energy drink:pour in its power and feel alive.

Feeling tired? Drink up to help your mindand body stay in balance, clear awaywaste and use food efficiently. Half yourbody weight is the number of ounces of

water you should drink daily.

Essential #3: Sleep PeacefullyLet a regular sleep routine rejuvenate

and repair both body and mind.Too little sleep can set us up for prematureaging, depression and other serioushealth issues. Consider a research study,which found that those who got sufficient

sleep were much less likely to suffer aheart attack than those who were insleep debt.

Essential #4: Eat NutritiouslyA healthy life runs on healthy food:enjoy the benefits of both.Food is the primary source of nutrients

that literally fuel life. Let vegetables andfruits (preferably fresh) be your dailysource of antioxidants and fibre.

Essential #5: Enjoy ActivityIt feels good because its good for

you: get up and move every day.Exercise benefits both mind and body.It can improve your mood and outlook

on life, give you more energy, promoteflexibility and strength and help yourbody work better.

Essential #6: Give and Receive LoveA heart that loves spreads joy and

builds a stronger immune system!Healthy, loving relationships are key totruly experiencing wellness. The nurturing

you receive from loved ones helps youand your immune system stay healthy.

Essential #7: Be ForgivingRelease yourself from the burden

of grudges, and welcome in peace.Holding on to past resentments doesntjust cloud your emotional health: yourphysical self can respond to such negative

feelings with stomach problems, muscleaches and more.

Essential #8: Practice GratitudeAn attitude of gratitude bringsmore happiness, health and calm.

Focus on the positive to boost your

emotional health, and reduce stress andthe damage it causes. Youll not onlyfeel better, but youll be better.

Essential #9: Develop Acceptance

Free yourself from worry: accept whatyou cant change and move on.

When you know there are things in lifethat you cant change, you free yourself

to handle the things you can change.Its a powerful tool for creating wellness:a mind cleared of needless worry,ready to help you enjoy all the blessingsof your life.

Essential #10: Develop a

Relationship with GodTo cultivate your own well-being andhappiness, nourish your spirit.

People who nurture their spiritualselves every day get real benefits: lowerblood pressure, fewer strokes and lessemotional turmoil. Whats more, thosewith strong spiritual ties lose weightmore easily, and have a stronger sociallife.
