Vitamin D and Your Brain

 

Vitamin D and Your Brain- I recently read an article that correlates low vitamin D levels in the blood with higher levels of anxiety, depression and obsessive compulsive disorders.

Also discussed was the correlation between low vitamin D levels and Autism and Alzheimer's disease.

Autism

Approximately, 1 in 150 children born today will have autism. Autism affects boys at a rate four times that of girls.

No one can pin point the cause of autism and this is probably because there is likely to be more than one cause. However they all share at least two things in common.

Poor methylation (inability to use Vitamin B-12 to create whole proteins) and poor hydroxylation (inability to convert inactive Vitamin D into its active form).

Alzheimer's disease

Vitamin D may help reduce inflammation in the brain. A notable attribute of Alzheimer's disease victims is Vitamin D deficiency.

As with autism, those with Alzheimer's disease are afflicted with poor methylation (inability to use Vitamin B-12 to create whole proteins) and poor hydroxylation (inability to convert inactive vitamin D into its active form).

Methylation is measured by a blood test for homocysteine. And one of the ways to measure hydroxylation is with a blood test for Vitamin D.

Are autism and Alzheimer's disease related? At this point it is hard to say; perhaps it is even impossible to say that they are connected conditions. But they share remarkably similar imbalances in biochemistry and they share at least two common deficiencies: Vitamin B-12 and Vitamin D.

We can say with greater certainty than ever before that these imbalances are likely to be caused by toxicity, deficiency, injury and stress.

Where did all your energy go?

 

Have you lost your vigor? Just because you're getting older does not mean you have to settle into feeling tired and fatigued all the time.

Do you seem to be forgetful lately? Loss of energy, focus and mental clarity can often be a sign of vitamin deficiencies.

If you could have more energy, be more alert and focused would you want to be? Of course you would! Did you know that a deficiency in vitamin B12 in those over the age of 30 can actually cause brain erosion?

A Vitamin B12 deficiency can also decrease your energy levels and clarity, cause irritability, depression, dementia, Brain fog, psychosis, and heart disease. B vitamins help your brain and nerves function properly.

As you age your ability to absorb them decreases. When your vitamin B reserves becomes depleted, this increases your risk of premature aging, poor mental functioning and a greater susceptibility to illness.

TriVita created super sublingual B12 to supplement your diet. Super sublingual B12 was designed for better absorption. Super Sublingual B12 includes B6, Folic acid and Ginseng for improved mental function and concentration.

One of the reason TriVita's vitamin B12 is superior is the incredible sublingual delivery method, invented by Dr. Alfred Libby. The tablets are placed under the tongue and dissolved, which delivers the B vitamins into your bloodstream in a much more powerful and effective way than if they were simply swallowed.

Try TriVita Sublingual B12 Now!

If you also suffer from pain and inflammation I suggest trying Nopalea from TriVita as well as Super Sublingual B12.

Fruits and Vegetables

 

You have heard it all your life, eat your fruits and vegetables. The US government’s guidelines have told us to eat at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables but did you know that the new guidelines from the CDC suggest even more than that?

There is a new campaign to get you to eat even more fruits and vegetables. The new slogan for the campaign is called "Fruits & Veggies -More Matters."

They know that study after study has shown that eating more fruit and vegetables lowers your risk of chronic disease, compared to those who eat fewer fruits and vegetables. The CDC has recently reported that approximately 75% of Americans are not even getting the old recommendation of 5 servings a day.

This is probably because getting that many servings a day takes added time and preparation.

Fruits and vegetables are packed with vitamins, nutrients and antioxidants. It is important to try to get as many servings a day as you can but many people just don’t have the time to get their daily servings and to be honest many of us would rather have something other than fruit and vegetables to snack on.

There is an easier way to get the 5 servings each day in a tasty drink mix from TriVita. TriVita Fruits and VegEZ gives you 5 servings of fruits and vegetables in one serving of the mix.

It can’t get any easier than this. Simply mix one serving with water or juice and voila you get 5 health promoting servings of fruits and vegetables. Do it for your health and for the health of your family. You have nothing to lose, TriVita offers a 60 day money back guarantee.

Fibromyalgia Symptoms

 

Fibromyalgia is a chronic disorder that causes widespread muscle pain and fatigue.Fibromyalgia is often misdiagnosed or undiagnosed because there is not enough yet known about the problem

Adding specific nutrients can help fill the any nutrient deficiencies and reduce both toxins and stress. Guarding your sleep is crucial to reducing symptoms and moderate daily exercise is your key to improving general performance.

Finally, physical medicine (e.g., Chiropractic, Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine, Cranio-sacral therapy, etc.) and Biofeedback that focuses on the brain and nervous system is helpful at relieving the tension and fatigue caused by brain trauma, no matter how far in the distant past this occurred.

Take Control of Your Health

• Make sleep a priority
  • Practice deep breathing for 20 minutes at bedtime
  • Turn down lights in the evening
  • Turn off computers, television and video terminals

Is there a connection between migraine headaches and inflammation?

 

A Migraine is a specific type of headache that is often associated with an intense throbbing pain that also can result in nausea, vomiting and a sensitivity to light and sound. Prior to the migraine many suffer from what some call "Kaleidoscope Vision". This is where part of your vision is affected. It's as though you are looking through a kaleidoscope.

I have had this on rare occasions and it started with only a small percentage of my vision in one eye that was affected and grew to a larger percentage followed by an intense throbbing headache. I also had this same effect once without a headache, possibly because I was proactive that time and took some Ibuprofen immediately.

Medications often used for migraines include NSAIDS such as Ibuprofen. Estrogen has many effects, one of which is suppression of the immune system. Women are more likely to have migraines around the time of menstruation, when their estrogen levels are low, and are less likely to have migraines when they are pregnant, when their estrogen levels are high.

Inflammation is actually necessary to the body, it allows our bodies to fight infection and helps our wounds to heal. However, too much inflammation is harmful. Chronic inflammation is is associated with most disease and illness and can wreak havoc on the body.

One of the changes that takes place is the swelling of the blood vessels of the brain, possibly with leakage of bloodstream proteins into brain tissue. Many successful migraine treatments work by counteracting this blood vessel swelling, including caffeine, a group of medications called the triptans, and another group of medications called ergots.

While neurogenic inflammation is a localized process of the brain’s blood vessels, migraine might also involve inflammation of the rest of the body. For more information on migraines Visit http://www.trivita.com
