Good health is a gift to be treasured and nurtured every day. TriVita joyfully shares these keys to helping you experience wellness: the essentials for spiritual, emotional and physical health.

SPIRITUAL

We welcome the New Year 2023 with all its possibilities! The possibilities of greater wellness with vitality, energy, and daily positive emotions… the possibilities of greater clarity of God’s purpose for our lives.

We know we live in turbulent and chaotic times but throughout history, God has always had a remnant of people praying “thy will be done”. As always, His will, purpose and Kingdom are advanced. This year I will seek more and do more to align with His will to be done! This is what I know…. Life is short and eternity is long!!

This year will be our 23rd year since we founded TriVita. Today, without hesitation I know we founded TriVita so that you and many others would experience greater health and wellness that supports the joy and purpose of your lives. But, more importantly, greater wellness to support your God-given purpose. I am convinced every person has a God purpose filled with possibilities!

I want to join our TriVita staff in declaring,” This year I will….” Please read the article on pages 6 & 7.

In 2023 TriVita will continue to expand its product line to better support your systems, organs and cells. We look to you, our TriVita members, to give us input on the products you would like to have available to you from TriVita.

TriVita will continue to develop improved ways to help you become the Chief Wellness Director of your life. We want our members to know that addressing disease is more than a pill-popping experience. It is not a one-dimensional approach. If lifestyle choices are the number one cause of the majority of diseases today, then healthier lifestyle choices can be a major contributor to your wellness! This is multi-dimensional: physical, emotional and spiritual. It helps build synergistically from a healthy lifestyle and focused medical care. Don’t just look to the doctor’s office for wellness. We encourage you to look for it at home, where you live and where you make the decisions!

Also this year, TriVita is committed to helping you transform your level of wellness so you can think, feel and perform better, no matter where your baseline may be at the time. What I know at 76 years of age; better is always better!!

To help you live with better wellness, we are launching our new weekly “Feel Better Today” television program this year. We will be featuring nutraceutical products and healthy foods along with lifestyle tips. The better your nutritional intake and lifestyle choices are, the better you will think, feel and perform in the years to come.

Let’s make 2023 the “ I will be better” year, living with greater wellness and clarity of purpose in our lives!

Put out the fire!

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Happy New Year! Welcome to 2023. Each year we reflect and commonly ponder how quickly yet another year has come and gone. This coming year has endless possibilities for your wellness spiritually, emotionally and physically. Isn’t this exciting and such great news?

Generally, a new year inspires new ideas, goals, and sometimes, resolutions. It’s without a doubt that you can attain whatever you are aspiring for in the upcoming year.

Growing spiritually, emotionally and physically is helpful if we want to feel well-rounded. It’s kind of tough to have one and not the other. Wouldn’t you agree? Therefore, an attainable goal for you in the new year may be to improve in one or all of the listed areas.

God may have touched your heart in a way that you know you must find strength spiritually, emotionally, or physically. You may have a calling to make a difference in your life so you may live with purpose. One of the biggest challenges is how to get started. I understand this can be the biggest battle we face. However, I have faith that you can do this.

What I find to be helpful is making sure I am setting attainable and realistic goals for myself. If you desire to grow spiritually, perhaps joining a Bible study is a good option. Or, if you know you could exercise more, you may choose to add an extra 15 minutes to your walk or get a walking buddy. And, if you struggle emotionally, you may care to write in a journal to get your thoughts on paper as a helpful stress reliever.

Remember, it’s more about the long-term goal. Slowly and with a steady pace, we can meet our goals and get to where we are going. Be mindful that a little cheating here and there may make you feel frustrated, especially if you are not reaching your goal. So, stay with it!

In the new year, my goal will be to continue my daily supplement regimen. Like you, I’ve often forgotten, but then I do notice a difference in how I feel when I am not consistent… Therefore, I will make sure to stay on track so I can feel my best. My other goal will be to continue to deepen my relationship with God. “For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11

God knows the plans He has for you too. Declare health and wellness over your life. I am hopeful that you will achieve greater wellness spiritually, emotionally and physically not only in 2023 but for the rest of your life.

May this give you hope and inspiration in the New Year and may you be blessed.

Blessings, Bronwyn Ison Sr. Director of Marketing & Communications

This Year I Will...

2023 is the year to make improvements in your life. At the least, this is your true intention. Each year you have stated, “This year I will…” We’ve all done it as a part of a New Year’s resolution. A New Year’s resolution is a tradition in which a person resolves to change an undesired trait or behavior, accomplish a personal goal, or otherwise improve their behavior. With the start of a new year, we pledge to do something to change our lives in a positive way. It’s a good thought. However, according to a 2016 study of the 41% of Americans who make New Year’s resolutions, only 9% feel they are successful in keeping them by the end of the year.1

There are many reasons why people make resolutions or set goals and there are just as many reasons why they are not successful. Reasons for setting goals could be because some people don’t feel good or have received an unfortunate message from their doctor. Others are ready for a genuine change because they have been inspired by reading an article (like this one) that sparks the desire for improvements.

Why do people find it so difficult to change? We know that change would be beneficial but we also find it challenging to start as well as stay with the intended goal. Most people blame their failure to fulfill resolutions on a lack of time, resources, motivation, or a loss of enthusiasm after starting. Only about 16% of people are able to follow their resolutions, according to research.2 Most people do not believe in themselves or lack a sound support system. It may be that you know your “what” to change but you may struggle with your “why.” Why do you want to achieve this health goal? It may be that you want to be a better and healthier person for yourself, your family, your loved ones and you want to do the things that make you happy. We want that for you too. It doesn’t matter where the incentive comes from, it only matters that action is taken. Now is as good a time as any to get started. Achieving the goals you set for yourself can literally change your life.

One of the main reasons that people fall short or give up on their goals is because they have set an unattainable goal. Remember, baby steps, and then begin to add more one day, week, or month at a time.

Meet Erin!

If you are fortunate enough to get Erin as your Wellness Consultant, you may believe that she is the nicest person you’ve ever talked to on the phone. She is a wife, mother of two, and a Certified Wellness Consultant at TriVita. She oozes sweetness, caring and the desire to help others. She loves talking to the members and helping them find the best path to good health and wellness.

In a previous job, Erin helped elderly people find new safe homes. It was fulfilling but she was looking for something more. At TriVita, she found a local, Christian-based workplace where she could use her experience helping people, guiding them to good health while improving her own health. She was immediately impressed with the community feel of TriVita. She felt at home right away, surrounded by people who were like her and she loved the culture of the company.

“My favorite part is talking with my members,” says Erin, “because they appreciate what TriVita can do for them and I appreciate guiding them to their goal of better health.

The environment at TriVita appealed to me right away, I love the leadership, my co-workers and the office. It comes from the top down and like I said, I enjoy the culture.”

In Erin’s mind, to be a good Wellness Consultant takes patience, listening and learning to find solutions that will be helpful in the long term. “I feel that I succeed because I have a connection with the members. Sometimes that opens a door to their personal life. One time, I was talking to a member and I could hear a tear in her voice and as we talked more, the floodgates opened. I helped her schedule an appointment with our WeCARE service and I sent her a postcard. She got back to me with a note of thanks, the connection there was real.”

Erin loves the opportunity to help others, to guide them and use her story and the stories of her fellow consultants to really help people. It makes it authentic.

“I always want to find the better path for the member and get them on the path that is right for them. They rely on us as the experts.”

JustPrayIt.com

It’s always a good time to pray. A couple of years ago when we were experiencing a worldwide pandemic, TriVita Founder and CEO Michael Ellison thought that our members needed a prayer community where we could all gather to pray, ask for prayer and have access to prayers of others. He created Just Pray It as an online complimentary prayer space with resources to support our spiritual needs. The response was immediate and triumphant.

Realizing the need to keep Just Pray It going, Michael asked his daughter-inlaw Chelsea to help out and she agreed. VitaJournal sat down with Chelsea to talk about Just Pray It, how it serves our members and the plans going forward.

VITAJOURNAL: What are you hoping members will get out of Just Pray It?

CHELSEA: Steadfast faith, love and peace. The hope is that, like in 1 John 4:4, “for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world”. In 1 John 15:26, we are told, “He is the Helper.”

The world we are living in right now is a scary place. We need help and we need prayer. At JPI, you can submit prayer requests, pray for others, share in prayer with others, listen to worship music from Don Moen and access a 24/7/365 prayer library. You can also go there to rejoice and celebrate success with others. We pray with you and we pray for you.

VJ: How does Just Pray It fit in with the overall message of TriVita?

CHELSEA: Essential #1 - Develop a relationship with God. Sharing scriptures and prayers knowing that He will help us.

VJ: What feedback or reaction have you received?

CHELSEA: We are growing steadily. We don’t have an exact count, but we average over 135,000 impressions a month on Pinterest. One of our posts went viral. Our CARE Center receives positive feedback from Members. Slow and steady growth. We’re committed to doing it and keeping it going.

VJ: What does it look like going forward with Just Pray It?

CHELSEA: Continue to serve. What if we let go of trepidation and became a movement of people who pray? What if we became people who picked up their bibles and prayed first? With technology today, we have the Scriptures at our fingertips. Lao Tzu said, “Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. If you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime.” Prayer is a gift we have to communicate with God, our creator, so wherever God takes this, that’s what we’re committed to.

Chelsea stays busy with their two young daughters and supporting her husband Luke who is Sr. VP of Supply Chain, Logistics & Distribution for TriVita, and she was honored to serve JPI’s mission on purpose.

“I love it. I can share it with my kids. I go to my Bible more often. I pray more often and it pours into our family. My hope is it encourages others as well. We are “fishers of men”. With God in our hearts, what shall we fear?”

We pray for you. We pray with you.

The Power of Hope

When you think of hope, what comes to mind? Do you think of desire, goodness, success, happiness, expectations, wishes, anticipations or aspirations? Each of these words is positive and encouraging. Hope gives you a reason to get out of bed every day. With the troubled world that we live in today, it’s more important than ever to have hope.

Hope reduces feelings of helplessness, increases happiness, reduces stress and improves our quality of life.1 Your mental health plays a big part in your physical health. You need both to be in a good place. Keep your hopes up. Hope creates opportunities.

Here’s a poem to remind you to remain hopeful at all times of your life.

Hope

Everybody can have hope.

It doesn’t matter how much money you have, the color of your skin,where you live or who you know. Hope is good.

With hope, there’s always a chance. We need hope. With God, there is always hope. No matter what your situation is, you must have hope. Hope this finds you well. I hope the best for you. Never give up hope. Have hope. Pray for hope. Give hope to others. Be Hope. Be Hope.

God encourages us to hold on to hope. God encourages us to become unified and to be full of joy and peace as we proclaim the name of Jesus. Hope is something that everyone longs for, especially in the world we live in today.

Remember, every time you witness a rainbow, know that God will keep His promises to you despite your hardships, trials or other lifealtering circumstances.

For nearly 20 years, the House of Giving has been blessed to provide hope and healing to communities across the globe. Thanks to your contributions and support, our latest mission to provide Dream Rooms, a home to heal, rebuild and transform the lives of human and sex trafficking victims, has been accomplished with extraordinary success. Together we achieved what at first seemed impossible, yet, through your generous gifts, we not only built one room, we created nine rooms for young men.

Human trafficking was a developing story in the news and seemed like an important cause where we could give our services to those who desperately needed our help. Annie Ellison, the Director of House of Giving, became aware of a local ministry named Dream Center. Dedicated to rescuing human and sex trafficking and

providing them with a safe place to stay, recover and turn their lives around. The Dream Center facility is an old hotel that required construction and remodeling of the old, worn rooms to house these young adults safely.

These victims, forced into this horrible lifestyle, are traumatized and have a deep sense of “fight or flight” embedded in them. A safe, comfortable, private space helps calm them and gives them a sense of security, realizing they don’t have to run. Counseling, schooling, medical treatment and mentors help them by providing hope as they begin a new life in physical, emotional and spiritual wellness.

The

There was an overwhelming need at the Dream Center for more rooms to be constructed and remodeled for the many new victims and soon-to-be human and sex trafficking survivors.

In late July 2020, the House of Giving began to raise the necessary funds to design and build new rooms. With our 2020 end-of-theyear House of Giving campaign, we received generous donations from TriVita members, employees, family and friends. At this point in the campaign, the facility only had programs available to female survivors and our goal was to complete one Dream Room. With the help of TriVita’s dollar-for-dollar match, we were close to accomplishing our fundraising goal.

On January 23, 2021, the world changed forever for Marcus and Annie and the Ellison family.

Early that day, Annie and Marcus were hiking on a local mountain and saw the most vibrant, colorful, majestic rainbow they had ever seen. The brilliance of this rainbow visibly moved everybody on the mountain. It was a sign from God in all His glory. They just weren’t sure yet what it meant.

On their way home, they stopped at a grocery store. Marcus got a phone call. The news was tragic. Their 18-year-old son Chase Michael Ellison was found dead from accidental fentanyl poisoning. Life would never be the same.

The shock and grief were overwhelming. Family, friends, TriVita employees and members all said and did what they could. It was tough. The Ellison family needed time to grieve and pray.

Shortly after, Marcus and Annie met with friends sharing their condolences and discussing how they could turn this tragedy into something good. Most were open to help monetarily or with whatever resources they had. The desire to build the Dream Rooms seemed even more urgent now. Jeff Hillis, a lifelong friend whose company builds luxury homes, offered to do the construction and remodeling work at his cost. Jeff also asked many of his vendors to donate materials for the rooms, and they did. But there was one significant change to come. The Dream Center contacted Annie and said they were starting a new Dream Room project and would like us to change the room design for male sextrafficked victims. They also asked if we could do more than one room because of the influx of newly rescued victims. It was then that Marcus and Annie, along with the help of Jeff, were determined to build not one, but nine rooms. This news was another sign that inspired the Ellison family to make this happen in the loving memory of Chase.

During the final walk-through for the rooms, Marcus and Annie met Irene Orr, the Program Manager for the Young Men’s portion of this project for The Phoenix Dream Center. There were two young men with Irene who are currently in the program. The young men were excited to share how they had accepted Jesus and how the Lord had saved them. One of them had been addicted to drugs, had overdosed more than once, and was tired of that life. The Lord and the Dream Center have saved him. The young man said, “I gave up Narcan (an overdose nasal spray) for Jesus.” Irene expressed how excited they all are to have this project almost completed. They have prayed about these rooms for a long time, knowing in God’s time, they will be complete.

The boys and Irene prayed over the rooms. Irene shared that she looked up when they finished praying over the rooms and saw two incredible double rainbows.

“I just got goosebumps! I have prayed over these rooms since March, when called to lead the program. Thank you, Jesus, for miracles, signs, and wonders!” Irene

Another sign. Marcus and Annie are confident that the rainbows are a message from God that He is with them on this project, that there is an afterlife and that Chase is with Jesus.

“The Lord is using us to rebuild and transform these rooms and to help in the healing and recovery of these young men, while at the same time He is rebuilding and transforming us.” Annie

We would love to give a huge heartfelt THANK YOU to all our donors, employees and TriVita members for your help in building the Dream Rooms. We had the vision to start with one room, but with overwhelming support, we accomplished what once seemed impossible: nine Dream Rooms!

How Nitric Oxide Helps with Healthy Circulation

We know that healthy circulation is important, but what we may not know is what to consume to help promote healthy circulation and blood flow. In terms of blood vessel health, nitric oxide is one of the most important molecules in the body. While nitric oxide itself may not be an ingredient to consume, some nutrients promote nitric oxide production. This is important because as we age, nitric oxide production decreases. We may feel this through lack of energy, high blood pressure and even cognitive decline. One study found that by age 70, most people will only produce 15% of nitric oxide through their blood vessels as compared to someone in their 20s.1 Since aging is considered one of the biggest risk factors for developing cardiovascularrelated health issues, it’s been found that cardiovascular protection decreases with age and there is a reduction in nitric oxide production.1

Additionally, Alzheimer’s disease has also been linked to nitric oxide decline.1 One out of every eight baby boomers will get Alzheimer’s disease after they turn 65 years old; at age 85, that risk grows to one in two.1 This is why healthy circulation and blood flow are so important. We want to be able to give our aging selves the best chance to live life to the fullest, and with more information at our fingertips than ever before, we have the tools to flourish as we age.

Luckily for us, supplements are an exceptional tool to help the body create nitric oxide, which can also trickle down to help other areas of health. Supplements that support nitric oxide production can typically contain beet root powder, L-arginine, L-arginine Alpha-ketoglutarate and L-citrulline. These can be found in Nitric Oxide Plus. We’ll dive into the benefits of the ingredients in this powder supplement and how it can help the body produce nitric oxide and promote blood flow, later.

What is Nitric Oxide?

Think of nitric oxide as a messenger. It’s an essential messenger molecule that serves important vascular, as well as metabolic functions.2 It allows for blood, nutrients and oxygen to travel throughout the body effectively and efficiently.

The Benefits of Healthy Blood Flow

High blood pressure occurs when the force of your blood pushing against the walls of your arteries is consistently too high. High blood pressure can lead to other health issues, such as heart problems and kidney problems. Consuming nitrates can help blood pressure because your body converts the nitrates to nitric oxide, which then causes blood vessels to relax and dilate, resulting in lower blood pressure. Various studies have shown nitrate to help lower blood pressure by increasing the production of nitric oxide.1,2 Additionally, it has been thought people with high blood pressure have an impaired ability to produce nitric oxide.3

Nitrates are also thought to promote endurance, and some studies suggest that endurance among athletes improved with nitrate consumption. One study found this through the consumption of beet root juice.4,5 Nitric oxide can also be important for cognition, as it was found that a high-nitrate diet increased regional cerebral blood flow to the frontal lobe in older patients.6

When you hear of nitric oxide, you may be thinking of it as a gas. The gas form is called nitrous oxide and is sometimes referred to as “laughing gas.” That’s not what we’re talking about here. Nitric oxide’s function in the human body is crucial as it’s found naturally throughout the body and is necessary for healthy blood flow. So, how is nitric oxide formed and where can it be found? Nitric oxide is synthesized and released into the endothelial cells, which is a cell layer lining all blood vessels, with the help of nitric oxide synthases that convert arginine into citrulline which helps produce nitric oxide in the process.7 L-citrulline may also help to treat erectile dysfunction by increasing the production of nitric oxide.8 A form of L-citrulline, called citrulline malate, not only increases nitric oxide production but also can help decrease muscle soreness. One study analyzed 13 eligible articles that included a total of 206 participants. The most frequent dosage used in the studies was 8g of citrulline malate. Citrulline supplementation significantly reduced the rating of perceived exertion and muscle soreness 24 hours and 48 hours after post-exercise.9

As muscle soreness can get in the way of daily activities, looking at ingredients to help soothe symptoms can help us get back to pursuing our day-to-day interests. As you can see, increased blood flow serves as a link to other areas of health, helping to promote balance and well-being in the body.

Sources to Promote Nitric Oxide Production

Did you know you produce nitric oxide by simply breathing? When breathing through your nose, your nasal passages release nitric oxide, which helps to widen blood vessels. This can help improve oxygen circulation in your body. Since nitric oxide is an unstable molecule that can degrade quickly in the bloodstream, it needs to be replenished.1 This can be done through consuming antioxidants, which is how antioxidation influences nitric oxide production. Besides breathing and antioxidants, beets are high in nitrates, which as previously mentioned, convert into nitric oxide. L-arginine is an amino acid, also known as a protein building block, naturally found in a variety of foods such as red meat, fish and dairy products. L-arginine produces nitric oxide in the body, as well as L-citrulline. L-citrulline is also an amino acid that’s found in meat and legumes. The easiest way to get these nutrients to help produce nitric oxide–besides food–is with supplements.

A Proprietary Combination of Ingredients to Improve Blood Flow

Nitric Oxide Plus improves blood flow through these ingredients: beet root powder, L-arginine, L-arginine Alpha-ketoglutarate and L-citrulline. Beet root powder is rich in nitrates which get converted to nitrite, which then gets converted to nitric oxide. L-arginine is an amino acid that stimulates the dilation of blood vessels and nitric oxide production. L-citrulline, another amino acid, has been indicated to be a second nitric oxide donor since it can be converted to L-arginine in the kidneys.2 Magnesium relaxes muscles to allow better blood flow. Magnesium is a mineral that can be found in greens, nuts, seeds, dry beans, whole grains, wheat germ, wheat and oat bran. Horse chestnut is commonly used to improve vein health, as it contains aescin, which may increase blood flow in veins and thin the blood.3 A supplement that can help support nitric oxide is important, and with our latest formulation, we want to be able to give you the convenience of a powder supplement for healthy blood flow support.

Science-based Ways to Tackle Worries, Low Motivation and Bounce Back

The rising concerns of inflation and the uncertain times we are living in may make it difficult to cope. The increase in food and gas prices, among other aspects, may increase stress and anxiety levels. And when you combine this with everyday worries you may be experiencing related to your job and personal life, it can be even harder to bear. While it can be incredibly hard to be on this rollercoaster of life sometimes, there are coping strategies that we can use to help us feel better as we go through the day.

Here are strategies that can boost our mood, tackle uncertainty, curb worrying, and help us get back in the saddle.

Increase Your Motivation By Taking a Dose of Positive Emotion

Negative events that may be happening around you combined with personal obstacles may leave you feeling down and unmotivated to tackle your tasks. However, taking a dose of positive emotion –such as watching a show that makes you laugh even for 10 minutes each day –can lift your mood. This boost

and mood lift can make it easier to get things done as you’re going down your to-do list.1 This is a great hack when your motivation dips and you’re looking for something that can help you bounce back.

Research shows that when we take a dose of positive emotion, we tend to persist longer on activities that we have to do later on.2 So indulge in something that makes you feel good or laugh for 10 minutes and then tackle a work task – maybe, just maybe, you’ll find it easier to stick with the task a little longer than anticipated. A boost of positive emotion also raises your endorphin levels – the feel-good chemicals in your body – and lowers your stress hormone levels.

Increase Your “Tolerance of Uncertainty”

A number of people I come into contact with through my work and life coaching practice have been telling me about this sense of uncertainty that pervades their lives. This situation can be especially challenging for people who have anxiety. People with poor mental health, such as anxiety disorders, may feel debilitated and are at higher risk for conditions, such as depression.3

24 VITAJOURNAL TRIVITA.COM

One thing that can help people during this time of turbulence, is tackling intolerance of uncertainty – becoming more comfortable with ‘not knowing’ rather than letting it fuel our fears.

When I ask people who may be struggling with anxiety how they’ve been trying to cope, sometimes they will say that they’ve been trying to increase the certainty – doing everything they can to feel more sure in an uncertain situation (ex. working longer hours at the expense of their health, indulging superstitions to prevent dreaded outcomes). But doing this often only serves to increase pressure and may make you feel even more distressed. Another way of going about it is working to increase the tolerance. Becoming more tolerant of unpredictable situations –whether it’s job insecurity, this pandemic, or even your health. You do what you can (e.g. getting the work report in on time, eating healthy and engaging in physical activity) and then let the chips fall where they may.

Curbing Worries That Dampen Moods

Oftentimes we think that worrying helps us arrive at a useful solution. This is why we

may become preoccupied with our worries, focusing on worst-case scenarios and trying to mentally solve them. But worrying can dampen our moods. Not only this, but over 90% of our worries don’t come true, according to research by Penn State University.4 When you track your worries and write down what is on your mind, you’ll see that most of the time, the things you fear don’t actually manifest. This can give us peace of mind and a sense of relief.

While we’re living in uncertain times and the levels of stress are high, there are coping strategies that we can practice to feel a little better in our day-to-day lives. Strategies, such as increasing our tolerance of uncertainty and taking a dose of positive emotion may help boost our mood and our motivation and make us feel like we can take the next step forward again.

THE TRIVITA TRIFECTA TO CONQUER CHRONIC INFLAMMATION

When taking supplements, it is important to understand not only the individual benefits but also the potential interactions of taking supplements together. As a leader in reducing chronic inflammation for more than 20 years, TriVita has developed a trifecta of anti-inflammatory supplements designed to reduce the damaging causes and effects of chronic inflammation. Nopalea, Omega3 Prime and Trans-Resveratrol are safe when taken together and work synergistically to provide greater protection from the harmful effects of chronic inflammation than just one supplement alone. This trio, taken together, promotes a healthy inflammatory response.

THE BENEFITS OF TAKING NOPALEA, OMEGA3 PRIME AND TRANS-RESVERATROL TOGETHER INCLUDE:

• Helps to reduce elevated, at-risk levels of C-reactive protein, which is a marker for inflammation

• Assists with maximizing metabolic potential by improving insulin sensitivity as well as improved glucose and lipid metabolism (a healthy metabolism promotes a healthy inflammatory response)

• Aids in the reduction of oxidative stress, known as free radicals, which are recognized to cause inflammation

• Encourages reduction of harmful pathogens that can overwhelm the immune response which triggers inflammation

• Known to provide relief from chronic inflammatory symptoms like premature aging, brain fog, fatigue, pain and limited mobility

NOPALEA (take with or without food)

• Helps to improve joint mobility

• Helps to improve neck and back range of motion

• Known to help with increased flexibility

• Aids in reducing inflammation

• Assists to lower elevated at-risk levels of C-reactive protein1,2

• Less reliance on pain medication12

OMEGA3 PRIME (take two soft gels daily)

• Cardioprotective properties or benefits: Fish oil helps to reduce incidences of life-threatening cardiovascular events3

• After a heart attack, high-dose fish oil supplementation has been known to improve the function of the heart, reduce scarring in the undamaged tissue within the heart muscle and decreased biomarkers for inflammation 4

• The supplementation of omega-3 fatty acids assists to reduce both inflammation and levels of anxiousness5 providing neuroprotective benefits.

• Known to reduce osteoarthritic pain in overweight and obese older adults.6 Supplementation with omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids for 3-4 months reduces joint pain intensity

• Assists in the reduction of triglycerides in people with hypertriglyceridemia7

TRANS-RESVERATROL

(take with water)

• Resveratrol helps to improve left ventricular diastolic function and endothelial function, helps lower LDL-cholesterol levels and helps protect against unfavorable hemorheological changes measured in patients with coronary artery disease8

• Based on neuroprotective benefits found in vitro and in vivo animal data, it may be a therapeutic agent for neurodegenerative diseases11

• Helps to improve metabolic health for obese adults by mimicking the health effects of calorie restriction8

• Resveratrol is a naturally occurring phenol that is generated by plant species following injury or attack by bacterial and fungal pathogens9

• Resveratrol is a powerful antioxidant that helps to reduce oxidative stress and the harm it can cause10

Walk, Stretch and Balance Your Way into the New Year!

A new year can be very exciting and it’s common for people to set resolutions. This may include eating healthier, exercising, losing weight, spending more time with family and the list goes on. More often than not our resolutions fall short within the first couple of months. This is not to discourage you but rather to encourage you to set realistic goals or improve upon what you are already doing.

When it comes to staying healthy, we know exercise is vitally important. The physical benefits are plentiful as are emotional and mental benefits. Here are some simple targets you can accomplish in the new year when it comes to healthy movement.

Let’s Go for a Walk

A brisk walk for as long and as fast as you can go can help you live a healthier life.1 Here’s how:

• Maintain a healthy weight and lose body fat

• Improve cardiovascular fitness Strengthen your bones and muscles

• Improve muscle endurance

• Improve your mood, cognition memory and sleep

• Strengthen your immune system

• Reduce stress and tension Walking with your spouse or a friend creates great bonding time which can also be healthy for your soul.

Stretch It Out

A daily stretch can help improve your body’s range of motion, relieve stress, improve flexibility and overall make us feel good. Simple yoga postures can be helpful as well. Plus, if you incorporate healthy breathing along with your stretching it can help to alleviate tension throughout your body. Easy stretching while seated in a chair can include the following just a few times a day: Seated Forward Fold: Sitting in a chair and folding forward so that your chest rests upon the top of your thighs. This can release tension in your lumbar, thoracic and cervical spine.

• Sit in a chair. Simply twist to one side and then the other to get movement into the spine. Inhale before you twist and exhale as you twist.

• Lastly, gentle neck rolls. Simply drop your chin toward your chest and sway your head from side to side or make slow circular rotations in both directions.

Improve Your Balance

Our balance declines somewhere between the age of 40 and 50 years of age. While there are many reasons this occurs, we also have the ability to prevent falls from happening as we age. Try these balancing drills at least 3 times per day to improve your balance:

• Practice getting in and out of a chair without using your hands.

• Stand with your feet shoulder distance apart. Raise both arms out to the side. Lift one leg out in front of you. Then try it on the opposite side.

• Heel to toe walk. Imagine walking a tightrope. Place one foot in front of the other, heel to toe, and continue for 10-20 steps.

Keep your momentum while walking, stretching and balancing in the New Year. You can do it!

• Muscle needs protein to grow, but the body cannot produce protein on its own

• Essential Amino Acids are the cellular building blocks of protein1

• Muscle is always in a state of breakdown and synthesis, or “turnover,” which is an important process to get rid of old damaged muscle fibers and replace them with new healthy fibers1

• Muscle serves many important metabolic functions beyond supporting physical movement
