10 Essentials
This Year, Give the Gifts that Last a Lifetime

by Michael R. Ellison, CEO & Founder of TriVita, Inc.
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.
PHYSICAL 1. Breathe Deeply 2. Drink Water
The Christmas season is here again, with twinkling lights, ringing bells and Christmas music, reminding us of the season of good cheer and the joy of gift-giving. But in many homes this year, the lights of Christmas may not seem so bright because of the turbulent economic times our world faces. The tree may not have the size and number of gifts as in recent times. Yet perhaps by reflecting on what is really meaningful and matters most in life, Christmas 2008 can be one of our brightest in memory. It is the joy and cheer of past Christmases that bring fond memories not the size or number of gifts we received. Bob Hope, who lived his life spreading cheer, said, When we recall Christmas past, we usually find the simplest things, not the greatest occasion or gifts, give off the glow of happiness. One of the fondest memories I have of Christmas was when our family went to our ranch in Colorado. Our second grandchild, Chase, was only a couple of months old, and we were so excited to spend a few days together with our growing family. The night we got there it began to snow and it snowed all the next day, putting down over a foot of snow. The lights on the tree blinked, the fire in the fireplace glowed, but it was the glow of the hearts I remember most. Oh, we had gifts, but I cannot remember one of them; we even had a sleigh ride with horses and bells. But it was little Chase buried under the blankets, not able to see or speak of the beauty of a white world, with only us to enjoy that was giving all of us a special glow. It was our 3-year-old grandson Parker, gazing with wide-eyed wonder at the little snowmen casting their different shapes in the shadows of the dark forest, who caused our hearts to be filled with cheer. It was the family together forgetting the daily grind, creating memories with picture taking and sharing the moment that created the gift that will last a lifetime for me. As we reflect on the past, is it the size or quantity of gifts that bring our fondest memories of Christmas? Or was it the gifts from the hearts that glowed with love, peace and joy for all to enjoy?

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.

As your relationship grows, you will enjoy all the blessings of unconditional love.
The secret to a brighter Christmas in 2008 is not in elaborate decorations or gifts under the tree and outward show. It is found in the inner glow of the heart that radiates with outer glow for all to enjoy.
I would like to offer another way to make this Christmas brighter, and that is by giving gifts that last a lifetime. The gifts that last a lifetime come without ribbons and bows, without gift tags and without pretty packages. Christmas gifts that last a lifetime arent bought from pricey stores; these Christmas gifts are a whole lot more. What gifts can we give in 2008 that everyone can give and enjoy receiving; gifts which could last a lifetime? These are the gifts the angels sang about to the wise men: Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace and goodwill toward men. The secret to a brighter Christmas in 2008 is not in elaborate decorations or gifts under the tree and outward show. It is found in the inner glow of the heart that radiates with outer glow for all to enjoy. Article from Michael Ellison continued on page 27...

Tis the Season of Hope

From an embattled year, tidings of faith, comfort and the joy of our humanity
n the year almost past, hope sometimes took a beating. Hurricanes Ike and Gustav pounded the Gulf Coast... home foreclosures set new records... financial markets crumbled... and a tumultuous presidential election was finally decided. Whether or not your candidate won, its time to put aside the negatives of 2008 and focus on something we can all control: creating hope in our lives and the lives of those around us. All of us in North America and around the world have been through a lot this year, and that makes it even more important to stay focused on the positives. In pursuing our life purpose and wellness journey, we can find new reasons to celebrate this Season of Hope. As we look forward to 2009, share with us some of the bright, hopeful spots from the year almost gone. Some are small, personal stories of faith; some are headline items on a grander scale. All are reasons to hope.
There are some 61 million volunteers in the United States alone, according to the Corporation for National and Community Service. These kind souls spent all those hours this year fundraising for others, collecting or serving food, donating general labor, and tutoring or teaching. The top places for people to serve? Religious organizations head the list by a big margin.
Overnight stays in shelters for more than 384,000 people Over 100,000 personal item kits (soap, toothpaste, etc.) Over 100,000 clean-up kits, containing disinfectant, mops and buckets Mental and physical health services to more than 80,000 people.
Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

Romans 12:12
Storms of nature brought out some of the best in the human spirit in 2008. Thanks in part to volunteers, and to those who contribute money, the American Red Cross was able to deliver needed services, food and supplies to legions of people harmed by Hurricanes Ike and Gustav. In Louisiana and Texas alone, the Red Cross provided: Over 12 million meals and snacks
These kids today: doing good things
There are always young people with selfless hearts who do the right thing just because its the right thing. Here are just two examples: National Day of Encouragement, on September 12, was begun in 2007 by some high school students in Alabama. They picked the day as a positive contrast to the World Trade Center bombing of September 11. Feeling that the best way to address modern problems is through positive words and deeds, the teens organized community efforts. This year, the focus was conducting blood drives, sending care packages to hurricane victims and first responders, and sending encouragement cards for military personnel. trivita.com
Volunteers: shelters from the storms of life
No one gives volunteers billion-dollar bailouts, but their contributions number in the billions: 8.1 billion, to be exact. Thats the number of hours volunteered by people of generous spirit throughout the year, as they bail out those less fortunate. 4 l December 2008
Canadian Cultivating Peace Project helps students in secondary schools throughout Canada support aspects of working toward peace. Founded on understanding based on education, the program encourages students to study topics like sustainable development and fair trade. As part of the programs outreach, four 11-year-olds traveled to Cairo, Egypt to work with students from eight European, two South American, one Asian and two African countries.
One happy result of high prices
Thousands of people throughout North America found new ways to conserve resources this year. Heres just one: A retired California man helped promote Bike to Work Day in Silicon Valley. The man had been distributing free bumper stickers for years that urge Dont Be Fuelish!, and when gas prices shot up, he teamed with the Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition. Participants in Bike to Work Day received restaurant and sports equipment coupons to encourage the healthy, energy-efficient habit. Clearly, as these few items illustrate, there is much to cheer in the events of 2008. We share with you the hope that 2009 brings even more.
Share your wellness experience: Spread the hope in 2009

You can do a lot to spread hope in 2009 by helping spread the TriVita wellness message throughout the year. Tell others about your own wellness journey... share your challenges and goals... encourage family and friends to take an active role in their own health and wellness. Learn how to share and earn. See page 29 for details. One thing is sure about 2009, it will have its share of disasters and despair. So be the opposite be a walking representative of hope to all those whose lives you touch in the coming year.
Good news about good health
There were big stories in health news, of course, including breakthroughs in treatment and prevention of cancer, heart disease and diabetes. There was also news about ordinary habits, though, that could make a difference in small, everyday ways. A few examples from 2008: Eating a small piece of dark chocolate every day may be very heart-smart. According to a study in the Journal of Nutrition, Italian researchers surveyed over 4,800 people to conclude that dark chocolate can greatly reduce the inflammation that leads to heart disease. Broccoli could be a life-saver for those with COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, the fourth leading cause of death in the U.S.). An antioxidant compound in the crunchy green vegetable was found to help offset the effects of the disease, according to the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine. Green tea might actually protect against Alzheimers and Parkinsons disease. German medical researchers found that an antioxidant in the popular brew hinders development of a toxic protein common to those with the two diseases. Their findings were published in the scientific journal Nature Structural & Molecular Biology.
No one gives volunteers billion-dollar bailouts, but their contributions number in the billions: 8.1 billion, to be exact. Thats the number of hours volunteered by people of generous spirit throughout the year, as they bail out those less fortunate.
Hope itself an antidote to depression
When it comes to fighting depression, hope itself may be the newest wellness discovery. In a 2008 study by researchers at Ohio State University, a small sample of people with symptoms of depression was observed. Half the group underwent hope therapy eight, two-hour group sessions in identifying goals and working on self-motivation. The other half did not. Those who went through the hope therapy reduced their symptoms of depression. 1-800-991-7116

Beating the winter blues

Seasonal Affective Disorder and B-12: The mood connection
by Dr. Scott Conard
or some people, the winter months bring mood changes that are seasonal but have little to do with the spirit of the holidays. These people may seem sad because they have SAD: seasonal affective disorder. Also called seasonal depression, this condition is often blamed on exposure to less sunlight during shorter days and colder winter temperatures.
While studies continue to find the causes and treatments for SAD, one thing is clear: People who have this mood disorder show symptoms that are very much like depression.
...studies indicate that people with a B-12 deficiency can experience symptoms including mood swings, mental confusion, forgetfulness and even psychotic behavior...
Extreme fatigue or inability to keep up a normal schedule Feelings of sadness, loss of feelings, apathy and irritability. That last item is especially interesting to medical professionals like me who pursue the connections between mood troubles and B vitamins. As you may know, studies indicate that people with a B-12 deficiency can experience symptoms including mood swings, mental confusion, forgetfulness and even psychotic behavior, like seeing and/or hearing things. For some time, evidence indicated that it was older adults who tended to have Vitamin B-12 deficiencies, but now we know more. As I wrote in the VitaJournal last month, one study showed that people as young as 26 may be just as lacking in B-12 as some people over 65! This study, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, went on to say that regardless of age, those who didnt supplement with Vitamin B-12 were twice as likely to be deficient as those who did.
A disorder that favors women and younger people
Does SAD affect someone you know?

Symptoms of SAD, according to the American Psychiatric Association, can include: Excessive sleeping, overeating and weight gain during the fall/winter months 6 l December 2008
Given the new evidence about young people and B-12 deficiency, its important to know one more thing about SAD: it tends to affect more women than men, more younger people than older ones. So if you or someone you know tends to experience depression-like symptoms in the winter months, check with trivita.com
SUCCESS STORIES
I can really tell a dierence when I dont take the B-12.
I have been a TriVita Member for many years. My husband and I started with the Sublingual B-12. It really seemed to help my husband, as he had been very moody, but the B-12 improved that. It gave us both a lot of energy and really helped me when I was caring for my dad. I have my own wedding business and have to have a lot of energy. I can really tell a dierence when I dont take the B-12. I honestly dont feel old I dont want to retire yet! But I do know that God has really, really blessed me! Im very blessed to have good health, but TriVita products have helped me age well. I truly believe in TriVita products and tell people about them.

Is it holiday blues or SAD?
Since many people experience stress and sadness during the holidays, its worth considering whether or not SAD might be a factor. Since SAD and the holiday season both occur during the shorter days of winter, the holiday blues might be undiagnosed SAD. Especially at this time of year, I urge you to consider whether or not youre getting enough Vitamin B-12. Since B-12 has such an impact on mental energy and mood, I often recommend B-12 supplementation with TriVitas quality products. My best wishes for a healthy holiday season filled with joy. 1-800-991-7116

How to be
money-smart in 2009
Simple ways to cut back and save now
With the economic turmoil swirling around us, its natural to worry about your personal finances. Many people are already on a limited or fixed income. But by taking steps to cut spending, and by following a sound budget and savings plan, youll be well-prepared to stand on solid financial ground in 2009.
A penny saved is a penny earned
First things first: create a budget
The first step to getting your finances in order is to create a budget; this will help you figure out how much you can reasonably spend, and how much you can save. (Of course, youll especially want to track and control your expenses during the holidays.) Here are the budgeting basics: 1. Total your monthly income. 2. Subtract your monthly expenses this should include house payments, car payments, utility bills, insurance, etc. 3. Allocate money for savings, groceries, fuel, entertainment, etc. 4. Keep track of your spending and review your budget every month to see where you can make any necessary modifications.
Financial experts recommend that you have enough savings to cover expenses for at least three months. But dont stop there if you can do more! Allocate a set amount of money to contribute to a retirement plan each month (10% of your income is recommended). If your employer doesnt offer a plan, consider Individual Retirement Accounts, which are offered by a variety of financial institutions including banks and credit unions. Have your employer direct-deposit a designated amount from each paycheck into a savings account. This will give you a nice buffer for those unexpected expenses like home and auto repairs. Create a special savings account for birthday and holiday gifts.
Easy ways to cut corners
By making some simple changes, you can easily cut corners just about every day. Here are some pointers for keeping more of your hard-earned money: Shop smart. Check grocery ads each week to find the best deals on food. Then, prepare a list and stick to it when youre in the store. Whatever you do, dont go to the store hungry! Also, clip coupons, buy store brand products, and avoid pre-packaged foods, which are often more expensive, not to mention unhealthy. Buy toiletries and cleaning supplies at discount stores, as they tend to cost more at grocery stores. Cut out the extras. Take a look at your monthly bills. Paying for cable TV that you seldom watch? Eating out too often? Not reading the magazines youre paying for? Cut out the things that you really dont need and youll find yourself with extra money each month. These can include cups of joe at the coffee shop or movie rentals. Brew coffee at home and check out movies for free at your local library. Fight impulse spending. Its easy to buy on a whim. Something catches your eye and suddenly youre spending your grocery money. If you think its something you absolutely cant live without, put it on an impulse list and wait 30 days. If you still want it after 30 days, shop around until you find the best deal. Ideally, wait until its on sale. You dont have to be a financial wizard to manage your money wisely. By sticking to your budget and making some simple changes in your lifestyle, you can rest a little easier about your financial future.

Perilla seed oil bursts with Omega-3 fatty acids

No wonder its such an important part of our OmegaPrime formulation
By Brazos Minshew, Chief Science Ocer
The Perilla plant o ers powerful anti-in ammatory bene ts.
hat would you think of a food that could help balance your immune system, help reduce your cholesterol and improve your ability to breathe? Perilla seed oil is just such a food! Perilla seeds have been used as a source of food and medicine for thousands of years. As interest in traditional remedies has grown in modern medicine, scientific studies have been carried out on perilla seeds as a possible remedy for allergies. This is notable because the number of people diagnosed with allergies (allergic rhinitis) has significantly increased in recent years. A person experiences an allergy attack when the tiny cells that line the sinuses burst. These are called mast cells and they are filled with histamines, the substances that cause allergy symptoms. Pollen and other allergens rupture these cells and release the histamines in large amounts. Anything that stabilizes these cells and keeps them from bursting gives welcome relief from allergy misery. What scientists are learning is that the oil from perilla seeds is a powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. It not only reduces inflammation in the sinuses, but in all areas where mast cells release inflammatory histamines: the sinuses, lungs, joints, intestines and skin. So, perilla
seed oil acts as an anti-inflammatory to relieve allergies, gastritis and even asthma. Thats why I put perilla seed oil in OmegaPrime: different oils reduce inammation in different tissues. Fish oil reduces inflammation in the arteries, flax oil in the reproductive tissues, evening primrose oil in the brain and bones and perilla seed oil in the sinuses, lungs and intestines. Is there any solid research on these applications for perilla seed oil? Absolutely! Studies conducted on people with asthma showed that perilla seed reduced the inflammation in the lungs, reduced the hyperactive immune system leukotrienes in the lungs and improved lung volume. At the same time, doctors measured cholesterol levels and found that perilla seed oil reduced total cholesterol, LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides. Also, perilla seed oil raised the levels of beneficial, protective HDL cholesterol. In the past, medications called bronchodilators were used to open the airways in asthma attacks. These medications worked pretty well in emergency situations; however, they did not stop the inflammation and they did not address the immune systems role in allergies and asthma. Newer, stronger drugs were
developed that both opened the airways and reduced airway inflammation. A milestone in medicine was achieved when a class of drugs was developed called leukotriene inhibitors. Leukotriene inhibitors were the missing link in allergy and asthma treatment, as well as with irritable bowel syndrome. They reduced the hyperactivity of the immune system and provided longer relief than anti-inflammatory drugs alone. Soon, however, the dark side of these medications emerged as many patients contracted serious infections from a suppressed immune system. Perilla seed oil was shown to be a remarkable leukotriene inhibitor that did not suppress the immune system! It is also a powerful antiinflammatory. Perilla stabilizes the mast cells so histamines are not released. What is more, perilla seed is showing positive results in studies against human cancer cells, irritable bowel disease and depression. All without any side effects. What a marvelous discovery! When you take TriVita OmegaPrime, youre getting so many benefits in this physicianapproved formula including the remarkable effectiveness of perilla seed oil.

Extra Sugar = Extra Trouble Seven ways to slice your sugar intake
his is the time of year when holiday parties and family gatherings multiply our opportunities for fun, and also for overindulging in one of the biggest threats to good health: refined sugar. Since 1983, the individual consumption of refined sugar in the United States has increased almost every year, to an astounding 160 pounds. As the no-nutrient additive thats hidden in many of our day-to-day foods, sugar is harming our health, and we need to do something about it.
As you may know, sucrose (the white stuff used in baked goods and candy bars) has no real nutritional value. It was created for our taste buds, and boy was it a huge hit! Unfortunately, we tend to consume entirely too much of it, and we pay a heavy price. In fact, overconsumption of sugar can lead to a number of serious health conditions, including obesity, osteoporosis, heart disease... even cancer all diseases directly affected by what we eat. So, how much is too much when it comes to sugar? Theres no established RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance) for sugar; however, according to the United States Department of Agriculture, no more than 10 grams should be consumed each day. Many popular kids cereals have between 12 to 14 grams of sugar in a single serving which exceeds the daily limit in just one sitting. Cutting back on sugar may not be easy, especially during the holidays, but it is a positive step towards your own wellness!
appealing, but fruit contains natural sugar that will satisfy your sugar craving. It also contains fiber, to help slow down the absorption of sugar in your body and stabilize your blood sugar.
3 Drink club soda.
Here are seven helpful tips to reduce your sugar intake:
1 Read the label. Look for sugars
Whether you call it soda pop, soda or something else, call these sugary soft drinks off limits. Just one can of cola has about 40 grams of sugar. The water in soda pop is so sugar-concentrated it doesnt do much for satisfying thirst. If you really like the bubbly aspect of soda pop, try switching to club soda, which has no added sugar. And, if its not sweet enough, mix in half a cup of freshly squeezed orange juice, or no-sugar-added apple juice.
Look for sugars to see the amount in grams per serving.
to see the amount in grams per serving. If you dont see it listed, look at the ingredients section. Can you find any of the following terms: Sugar, corn sweetener, dehydrated cane juice, dextrin, dextrose, glucose, high fructose corn syrup, fructose, lactose or sucrose? These are just a few synonyms for sugar. Avoid foods that place these names close to the top of the ingredients list. Choose foods that are low in sugar and high in fiber or protein, which will give you energy and keep you feeling full.
4 Brush your teeth and gargle.

Have you ever tried brushing your teeth when you are craving a late night sweet snack? Nutritionists tell us that sweets dont taste as good after youve brushed your teeth or cleaned your mouth with antiseptic mouthwash. This can be a good diversion for your craving.
2 Eat fruit. If you are craving something

Here are some of the most inspiring and enlightening Real Stories from the past year
SUPER SUBLINGUAL B-12
Im just like the Energizer Bunny when I take Super Sublingual B-12 I just keep going and going!
My mental clarity used to be good. Then I went through breast cancer and my son was paralyzed in a car accident. I was suering from extreme stress and depression and had a hard time focusing. Chemotherapy also makes you lose brain cells and totally saps your energy. Then I started taking Super Sublingual B-12. It dramatically improved my focus and helped me stay on task. Now I nish what I start I feel so much more ecient. Im just like the Energizer Bunny when I take Super Sublingual B-12 I just keep going and going! When I stopped taking Super B for a few days I immediately noticed the dierence. Now Im condent that when I take Super Sublingual B-12, it will be a super productive day.* WILMA F. FRUITLAND PARK, FL
2008s Best of Real Stories

I felt more energy, I was more alert and focused.
I loved the eect of your Super Sublingual B-12 on me. I feel more energy and it makes my mind so sharp. Im age 60, and when I started taking it, I was so down. I was dealing with the grief from a loss, and the stress was making me feel depressed, weak and worn down. At one point it even seemed like my mind had almost stopped working and I was losing my short-term memory. But then after taking your Super B-12 for just a little while, things really started to improve. It was like the B-12 softened my nerve endings, so even though the stress was still there, it didnt beat me down so much. Then, things started to get even better. I felt more energy, I was more alert and focused. I was curious about what if I stopped taking it, so I did. And, oh boy, could I tell the dierence. So now Im back on it and the best way I can say it, when Im taking Super B-12, everything is more sparkly. So Im going to stay on it because life always has plenty of stress, and Super B-12 really helps me deal with it. And thats why I can recommend it to anyone, at any age, because stress is stress, and this really helps. LYNDA D. EUGENE, OR So he recommended TriVita products, including Sublingual B-12, and Vitamins C and E. So I started using the products. Three months later I retested, and to my amazement, my blood platelets were free-owing like theyre supposed to. I have a video of that, too, and the dierence between them is astounding! HAZEL C. KINARD, FL
ENERGY NOW!
I can get more things accomplished and do more in the evenings...
I was feeling fatigued all the time and had no energy. I am 76 years young and still work and help people, but was feeling so tired and exhausted that I just didnt want to do anything anymore. By 4 or 5 in the afternoon I was zapped out. I wanted to try something natural with no side eects and thought TriVitas Energy Now! was a good place to start. I take two Energy Now! capsules a day and they have made a tremendous dierence in my daily routines. I can get more things accomplished and do more in the evenings than I was doing before. I feel better and not so tired. One thing I recently noticed is the Sublingual B-12, B-6 & Folic Acid works great with the Energy Now! A wonderful 2-Step System! Thank you, TriVita. EARLINE T. GERMANTON, NC
I can actually keep up better than some of the guys 10 years younger.
As a parent, Ive beneted from Super Sublingual B-12. Im the father of a very energetic 2-year-old boy and its important to have enough energy to keep up with him. Super Sublingual B-12 makes a big dierence in my energy level. On the weekends we do tots soccer and parents run and play with the kids. I notice that I can actually keep up better than some of the guys 10 years younger than me, which I think is wonderful. Thanks to Super Sublingual B-12 I enjoy a tremendous energy burst. MAX. S.

SUBLINGUAL B-12
... my blood platelets were free-owing like theyre supposed to.
Before I started taking TriVita products, I was going to a chiropractor. He told me about a gentleman that was coming in and would test our blood, so I had mine done. When I got the results, it showed that my blood platelets were clumped together like bunches of grapes, which made it hard for them to ow freely. I even have a video of them!
I am more satised with life and happier now.

I was feeling lazy and exhausted. I had things to do, but didnt feel like doing them. I decided to take TriVitas Energy Now! and after my very rst two pills, I noticed the dierence! I have a desire to do things now that werent there before. I feel a sense of good and enthusiasm. I even feel a little stronger. It wasnt a nervous or jittery change, just a nice smooth subtle change. I am more satised with life and happier now. Thanks, TriVita! PEGGY H. SANTA MONICA, CA trivita.com
OMEGAPRIME
...my triglycerides were cut in half. I was thrilled with the results, and so was my doctor.
When I saw my doctor he said my cholesterol was a little high and that he wanted me to take Lipitor. I did, and after 30-40 days I went in for a follow-up test. My total cholesterol did go down, but so did the good cholesterol, and my triglycerides didnt change at all. I did a little online research and decided that I wasnt comfortable taking any statins, so I asked my doctor if I could stop the Lipitor.* He then suggested I take sh oil to help control my cholesterol. So thats when I tried TriVitas OmegaPrime. I took OmegaPrime religiously for 30-40 days before my follow-up test. When I got my results back, I learned that my total cholesterol was under 200, my good cholesterol was over 80 and my triglycerides were cut in half. I was thrilled with the results, and so was my doctor. He hasnt mentioned Lipitor since! Its sad that so many people are taking statins and spending so much money, when there is a natural alternative that works. I tell everyone about OmegaPrime! ALICE H. DENTON, TX
led me to becoming an ocial Aliate Member. One of the great things about Leanology is the way it helped me lose weight and reshape my body. It has helped me lose inches everywhere Ive lost 25 inches total. But it has especially helped me lose those stubborn inches around the abdomen, which up until now, was impossible to do. ULONDA P. MARIANNA, FL

...I knew the Adaptogen was helping my body deal with physical stress and activity. Leanology is really an outstanding program.
I am a type I diabetic and a former college basketball and baseball player. I do a pretty good job of taking care of my diabetes. Recently, my weight slowly increased until I was at 240 pounds. I started the Leanology System seven days ago using four capsules a day and substituting one meal with a shake each day. I have already lost ve pounds and am very excited. Before starting the Leanology System, my average blood glucose for that period was 166 mg/dL and I used a total of 480.6 units of insulin. Since starting the Leanology System, my average blood glucose for the past seven days was 136 and I used 414 units of insulin! Thats a decrease in 30m g/dL on average and I used 66.6 fewer units of insulin! Leanology is really an outstanding system. By normalizing my blood sugar levels, using less insulin and getting back to my ideal weight, my overall health will be greatly improved and I will have a much improved chance of avoiding complications from type 1 diabetes.* TOMMY R. MAGNOLIA, TX Back in September 2006 a friend called to do the Grouse Grind. Thats a grueling, 1.8 mile hike up Grouse Mountain in Vancouver. Its extremely steep and mountainous. I had not been working out at the time, but I wasnt about to say NO to her (she golfs and runs all the time). Id been drinking the Adaptogen 10 Plus regularly, so away I went. The hike took about 2 1/2 hours, gaining 2,800 feet in altitude. I did stop along the way and do some deep breathing. And what was amazing was that I wasnt even sti the next day... I was so excited! So I went o the Adaptogen for a week or so and then went and did just a little weeding in my yard and I was so sti so I knew the Adaptogen was helping my body deal with physical stress and activity. Check out the Grouse Grind on the web and youll see how grueling it is... for this Grandma! CHERYL P. ABBOTSFORD, BC

Lynn is a flying, high-energy advertisement for TriVita products

Now her referral success is helping her reach new heights
ynn is a real go-getter. She has an effervescent, outgoing personality and an incredible zest for life that people immediately respond to. The alwaysvivacious Lynn recently celebrated her 60th birthday in high style with a Texas-themed birthday party that included friends, family and her boys (two Maine Coon cats).
Lynn became a flight attendant when she was 18 and now 42 years later is still flying the friendly skies. Her first job was with TWA Airlines and then she moved to Southwest Airlines in 1992. Currently based in Houston, Lynn is a whirlwind of energy who easily keeps up with much younger colleagues. Lynn has also recently developed a profitable sideline activity as an Affiliate Member. She has taken on this new challenge with the same boundless enthusiasm that she brings to everything in her life.
both Sublingual B-12 and Adaptogen 10 Plus for helping her stay focused and energetic as she races across time zones. Lynn always seems to be bubbly and upbeat even in the most difficult of circumstances. In fact, several of her passengers have commented that they want whatever shes had for breakfast.
Lynn tuned into TriVita at just the right time
She originally found out about TriVita products from an early-morning infomercial. Then, Lynn started taking Sublingual B-12 to stay focused and attentive. Her timing was perfect because she was helping implement a computerized system for Southwest Airlines. Other members of the team kept asking me how I stayed so focused and energetic during this stressful project, Lynn recalls. I told them what TriVita Sublingual B-12 was doing for me and many of them decided to try it themselves. This was long before TriVita had its own official referral program, so Lynn could be called a referring pioneer.
She keeps smiling while others start wilting
Lynn goes the extra mile to stay in shape and keep looking young. She gets plenty of sleep, doesnt drink alcohol and eats nutritiously. She and her husband, Ron, a retired TWA pilot, work out several times a week and play golf. They both use and love Sublingual B-12. Lynn was especially flattered when she attended a recent high school reunion and won the prize for the attendee who had changed the least in looks. So, where does she get her storehouse of energy? Naturally, genetics and a healthy lifestyle have a lot to do with it. Yet Lynn is quick to credit 16 l December 2008
Lynn celebrates her 60th birthday
trivita.com
I never miss taking Sublingual B-12, she says. Its a nice, easy way to get energy. I also take Adaptogen 10 Plus because it really helps with stress. Peaceful Sleep fits in perfectly with my jetlagged lifestyle when I need to get some sleep. Ive just ordered Vitamin C Crystals and Im also excited about trying NutraFruits for the first time. Lynn admits that she briefly stopped taking Sublingual B-12 because she wasnt sure how much good it was doing her. Like so many other people she quickly felt the difference and since then has made Sublingual B-12 an essential part of her daily supplement regimen.
Lynn has her own share of stress. Just recently Hurricane Ike swept through her home in the Clear Lakes area of Texas. Luckily her neighborhood was spared the worst of the damage. I think Sublingual B-12 and Adaptogen 10 Plus helped me keep my equilibrium during this difficult time, she says.
Lynns referral success takes off
She was really thrilled to find out about TriVitas Affiliate Member Program, because its something Lynn has been doing all along. Shes also a walking, talking example of healthy living. Both colleagues and passengers marvel at her energy and cool under pressure. She has already referred more than 16 of her co-workers and several passengers to TriVita. She always makes sure to have plenty of TriVita 10% discount coupons on hand which she can easily get online to hand out to potential referrals.
Lynn with her friend Jannette
I just love getting those referral checks!

I just love getting those referral checks, Lynn exclaims. I deposit them into a special vitamin fund which allows me to buy more of my favorite TriVita products and also try new products I might not have considered before. Its almost like getting TriVita products for free. One of Lynns referral successes has a special place in her heart. Her dearest friend, Jannette, was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia. She had several courses of treatment available, including chemotherapy, but decided to take a more holistic treatment approach. With Lynns encouragement, Jannette made Sublingual B-12 and Adaptogen 10 Plus part of her daily nutritional regimen. Now, nine years later she is doing much better and Jannettes doctor has encouraged her to continue doing what shes doing. Lynn definitely feels that TriVita products have contributed to Jannettes renewed good health. 1-800-991-7116
In spite of her frenetic life, Lynn finds time for one of her favorite hobbies working with anything electronic especially computers. She has incorporated this interest into the workplace by volunteering for several major technical projects for Southwest Airlines. Just recently she helped develop a cashless payment system that allows passengers to buy cocktails during a flight without using money. Once again she is quick to credit Sublingual B-12 for helping her maintain focus and concentration. Clearly, life is anything but dull for Lynn. She explains her vibrant attitude by saying that you have to hang around people who are young to stay young. No doubt her bubbly personality has helped people get through the most difficult flights. She was especially honored to be hand-picked to be a flight attendant for the papal entourage when Pope John Paul visited the United States and Canada in 1987. So, if youre ever flying with Lynn, she just might suggest that you skip the sugar-filled soda and try an ounce or two of Adaptogen 10 Plus instead. VITAJOURNAL l 17
Accepting does not necessarily mean liking, enjoying, or condoning. I can accept what is and be determined to evolve from there. It is not acceptance but denial that leaves me stuck. Nathaniel Branden
The Healing and Liberating Power of Acceptance

by Dr. Judy
n life, inevitably, we will face circumstances and events that will challenge our emotional health and well-being. Sometimes they are small frustrations and disappointments, such as struggling to lose weight only to regain it, or getting overlooked for a promotion at work that you felt you deserved. Other times the problems we face are deep, gut-wrenching traumas. Many people may be facing or have faced financial losses, a marriage breakup, debilitating disease or perhaps the untimely loss of a loved one. When these 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 of our energy regretting or longing for the past. Studies have shown that continually feeling angry, frustrated or depressed by events beyond your control is extremely unhealthy. If you have a hard time going with the flow or facing the facts, you might be putting yourself at risk for serious health problems. On the other hand, we can deal with our disappointments and circumstances by developing acceptance. The concept of acceptance is powerful. Its about coming 18 l December 2008
to terms with reality, no matter how unfair or unpleasant it may be. Practicing acceptance can help ease the tension and stress, while allowing us to see our situations more clearly.
deciding to change your feelings about it creates an atmosphere to help heal your pain.
Release the feeling of powerlessness

In life you will face circumstances that you cannot control. Feeling powerless is actually a control issue. You will need to recognize that there are people, problems and things that are uncontrollable and unchangeable and out of your power to completely affect or change.
In every problem that we face, no matter how dark it seems there is opportunity for something magnificent to appear.
Reclaim possibilities through acceptance
When you feel out of control and powerless, remember by accepting what IS at the moment, you can rely on God for strength and power. According to scripture, God is my strength and power: and He makes my way perfect, II Sam 22:33. It is not your strength alone, but also Gods, that enables you to accept what you cannot control or change.
Relinquish the pain of the past
Many times it is easy to blame our misfortune on someone else, saying, If my financial advisor had only warned me, I wouldnt be in this mess. Or, If Susie had only told me she was unhappy before it was too late, we might still be together. If onlys, dont change the circumstances. Only you can accept what IS. We cant cry about unpleasant circumstances and expect them to change. Accepting what IS and
Make this a season of healing and change as you develop the practice of acceptance. The healing and liberating power of acceptance comes when you choose to accept the experience you have had or are having at this moment, no matter what it is. That doesnt mean we have to be happy with our current circumstances, but acceptance means you acknowledge and accept where you are in life at this moment. In every problem that we face, no matter how dark it seems there is opportunity for something magnificent to appear.

Let God guide your 2009 life vision

Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it. Habakkuk 2:2
by Chaplain Gene Henderson
s we count down the days to end a tumultuous year, this joyful season of hope and love is especially precious. Its the time to celebrate a blessed birth that occurred in very humble surroundings, a birth that gives us cause for hope and love every day of every year. This is also the time to ask an important question: Will your new year of living be shaped by the vision you believe God has for your life? Specifically, will your days in the new year be purposeful, and centered on what is truly important? As the verse from Habakkuk (above) states, Write the vision and make it plain. Here, God was instructing the prophet Habakkuk to literally write down His words of revelation so that they would be clear to all. The phrase ...that he may run who reads it suggests a herald, going from place to place with a message so that others can see it.
God has a plan and a purpose for each and every one of us this coming year.
You might want to keep these special writings in a journal so you can turn to them when needed. Having this type of journal helps me return to the basics that guide us throughout the year: the love of God, our relationship with Him and our relationships with others. These steps will help put you in a spiritual, thankful frame of mind, and will prepare you to write down your own vision for 2009. embody Gods purpose for you in small, everyday ways. By developing your personal, spiritual vision for the new year, youre really stating your life purpose. Put another way, its your mission statement: for what purpose did God put you here? God has a plan and a purpose for each and every one of us this coming year. With faith, hope and love, we can look forward to the challenges of the future without fear. Whatever we take on, whatever 2009 may bring, we are not alone. God will be with us. May you share the joys of this season with a happy heart. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
A life of purpose, day after day
What are your goals for living out Gods purpose for you in the new year? These might involve short-term goals, such as acting on the Golden Rule with others. Or perhaps youre working towards a long-term goal, such as working through your church or civic group to improve the lives of those less fortunate. The important thing is that you reflect on how your life can
The power of a message, written down
What will be your message to yourself and to others to see you through 2009 with righteousness and faith? There is power in writing things down, and I encourage you to do so. If youre not certain how to begin, I have some ideas that may help. First, make an appointment with yourself: write a note on your calendar on a specific day and time. This appointment is special; its when you sit by yourself and focus on the happiest or most important aspect of what it means to you to have a relationship with God. The next step involves a bit more writing. Think about a time when someone in your life really made you feel loved, and gave you hope when you needed it most. Write this down. Then, think of a time that you were able to share hope and love with someone else. Write this down. 1-800-991-7116

Our research team discovered that it helps raise nitric oxide levels essential for good health

ADAPTOGEN 10 PLUS
Your Everyday Stress Solution
TriVitas powerful, stress relieving formula: Helps counteract damage caused by various types of stress: mental, physical, emotional, environmental Contains all 10 adaptogens that have been proven to help the body adapt to stress Fights free radical damage and helps boost your immune system. Adaptogen 10 Plus unique three-part formula includes: Adaptogens herbal extracts chosen specically for their natural ability to help the body cope with stress Antioxidants immune boosters that help ght the damage caused by stress Aloe Vera helps improve digestion and nutrient absorption.
itric oxide or NO is one of the most important molecules in our body. Like a policeman directing traffic in a busy intersection, nitric oxide directs the communication between the busiest cells in the body: brain cells, blood cells, immune system cells and cells from every body system where communication is critical. Nitric oxide is so important that no organ in your body could function without it. In fact, a Nobel Prize in Medicine was awarded to three scientists in 1998 responsible for discovering its actions. It keeps our blood pressure normal, helps us think clearly, helps our body fight off infections, and even prevents the development of blood clots and atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). Many of the diseases of aging are no more than a deficiency of nitric oxide. Recently, my team tested Adaptogen 10 Plus for nitric oxide activity. This study helps confirm the incredible value of Adaptogen 10 Plus. We discovered that it contains natural NO metabolites that help to restore normal nitric oxide biochemistry within our body. This important benefit is in addition to its high antioxidant capacity and adaptive stress molecules. As we age, our body gradually loses its ability to produce nitric oxide. Stress, pollution and a nutrient-deficient diet also reduce our nitric oxide reserves. A healthy diet, sleep, exercise and the rest of the 10 Essentials (see pg. 2) contribute to nitric oxide activity and to good health! As a professor of medicine, I supervise cardiovascular research in the heart health field. My field of specialty is nitric oxide: how to get it and how to keep it. The people in our research center suffer from a host of nitric oxide-related disorders including heart disease,
high blood pressure, stroke, diabetes, Alzheimers disease the list seems endless. In every case I see that the higher we can raise the nitric oxide levels, the better the patient responds. Restoring nitric oxide production has become one of the main strategies at treating and protecting against many diseases. It makes sense that Adaptogen 10 Plus would activate a high amount of nitric oxide because research has revealed that most high-antioxidant foods nourish NO. TriVitas Adaptogen 10 Plus helps us combat stress, a nitric oxide killer. The amount of NO in Adaptogen 10 Plus has been shown to help protect against vascular inflammation, reduce injury from a heart attack or stroke and restore NO homeostasis (a sense of balance) in animal models. This unique blend of antioxidants and nitric oxide metabolites is essential for brain and heart health. Combining a regimen of Adaptogen 10 Plus with the 10 Essentials will help ensure optimal health.

Research and focus

HAPPIER COULD MEAN HEALTHIER
Victoria, Australia Do happiness and good health go hand-in-hand? Thats what researchers at the Centre for Behavioural Research in Cancer set out to find. Their study, published in the September/October issue of the American Journal of Health Promotion, showed that happiness and life satisfaction can have a positive effect on good health. In 2001, 9,981 adults aged 18 years and older were asked to report on their health (self-rated as excellent, very good, good, fair or poor); if they had any health conditions that limited activity; and to assess their physical health. A follow-up survey was conducted two years later. Good health was reported 1.5 times more by adults who indicated they were happy most or all of the time than by those who reported being happy only part or none of the time. Life satisfaction was associated with better health in the initial survey as well as in the follow-up survey. Everything being equal regardless of your age, gender, whether you smoke, drink or exercise, if youre happy and satisfied with life now, youre more likely to be healthy in the future, said lead study author Mohammad Siahpush, Ph.D., University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Public Health.
CALM, ACTIVE PEOPLE LIVE LONGER, ACCORDING TO STUDY

Baltimore, Maryland Longevity is associated with being conscientious, emotionally stable, and active, according to the National Institute of Aging. A study published in the July/August issue of Psychosomatic Medicine researched this link between personality traits and lifespan. Data was taken from the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging (the longest running study on aging), to assess the personality traits and longevity of 2,359 people. Personality traits that were linked to a longer life included emotional stability, organization, discipline, conscientiousness and resourcefulness. Traits linked with a shorter life included depression, anxiety, anger and emotional instability.
WINTER BLUES LINKED TO BRAIN CHEMICAL LEVELS

Toronto, Canada Using positron emission tomography (PET) technology, researchers at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto found that levels of serotonin (a mood-altering brain chemical) may be lower in the fall and winter. Because serotonin helps regulate mood and energy levels, this may help researchers understand seasonal affective disorder and other seasonal mood changes. Study author Jeffrey Meyer said that this discovery is an important lead in understanding how season changes serotonin levels. This offers an explanation for why some healthy people experience low mood and energy in the winter, and why there is a regular reoccurrence of depressive episodes in fall and winter in some vulnerable individuals. The next steps will be to understand what causes this change and how to interfere with it.

GIFT SAFETY QUIZ TRUE OR FALSE...

1. 1 If a package says the toy is for a certain age group, you can always believe it. False. If you have any doubt, choose another item. Thoroughly inspect any items youre giving to children to make sure theyre appropriate for both age and development level. 2. 2 Many gifts of sports equipment need something extra for eye safety. True. If youre giving an item like a baseball glove, safety goggles are a great idea to go along with it. According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, there are about 40,000 eye injuries related to sports each year. 3. 3 Dont give a toy labeled supervision required unless youre sure that there will be an adult around every time the child plays with it. True. That label is there for a reason. 4. 4 When you want to give a child a toy, its ne not to check with the parents rst. False. Its smart, safe and courteous to ask about the childs wish list, and to ask in advance if the parents think a certain gift is appropriate and desired. 5. 5 You should include any toy warranties and directions with your gift. True. You dont want that assembly required playhouse to lie in pieces in a corner, or find out that the game device that never worked got thrown away. 6. 6 If a toy shoots, or has parts that y o, nd something else. True. Prevent Blindness America feels that air guns and BB guns shouldnt be viewed as toys at all. 7. 7 Toys wouldnt be on the market if they werent safe to use. False. The numerous toy recalls this year demonstrate that safety is up to the person who buys the toy, and to the person who inspects it before giving it to a child. Toys should be sturdy, with no sharp edges or points. 8. 8 The letters ASTM on a potential toy gift oer some measure of assurance. True. ASTM stands for American Society for Testing and Materials. A toy with the ASTM label meets this groups national safety standards. 9. 9 The toilet paper roll test should be used on all gifts for children under age three. True. If a toy has a small part that can fit inside a toilet paper roll, its too small for a toddler. Young children put things in their mouths, and can choke on anything that passes this test.
Give safe toys and gifts this season

Quick quiz helps keep danger o the holiday list
Every holiday season is a good time to play it safe when it comes to gifts for little ones. Especially this year, with toy recalls making headlines, we all want to be sure that the presents we present in love bring nothing but joy to children. Lead paint, choking hazards and dangers to vision are the top three villains in childrens gift safety, according to Prevent Blindness America, a national non-profit group. While some toys might immediately conjure up an image of accidents waiting to happen (think of dart guns), others arent so obvious: even art supplies, used improperly, can cause harm. For the sake of the children in your life, be sure the toys and gifts you choose are appropriate for their age and development level. Before plucking an item off a store shelf, take this quiz to see if it passes the safety test.
10 10. A gift for an older child can safely

be shared with a younger one. False. Choking and other safety hazards can seriously endanger a young child playing with something intended for older ones.
Heres to a happy, safe holiday for all the youngsters on your list this season.

Affiliate Member Spotlight
Peggy is hiking up the income trail

Sharing her wellness journey isnt about selling, its about helping others discover TriVitas amazing products
Peggy doesnt do things halfway. Not long after her very first hike along the Appalachian Trail in her 50s, she hit the adventure trail for a seven-day trek. She often hikes with a 40-pound pack on her back. To celebrate her 60th birthday, she jumped out of a plane at 10,500 feet to skydive. And when it comes to sharing the TriVita wellness story, it looks like the skys the limit.
Like many Affiliate Members, Peggys success is rooted in her own product experience. A TriVita infomercial prompted her to try TriVita Sublingual B-12, B-6 & Folic Acid a few years ago. I was truly amazed at the results, she recalls. The product does just what it says it will gives me energy and focus. And every product Ive tried since has exceeded expectations. Her personal product list soon expanded to Peaceful Sleep (It worked the very first night I took it), and most recently NutraFruits. I love it! I could feel the extra vitality within just a few hours.
It doesnt feel like selling; it feels like helping people.
Soon she started generating referral business, first to family, then to friends, then to others who wanted to know how she stayed so energetic and active. At 63, her activity schedule includes long daily walks in her South Carolina community, several gym workouts a week, and of course, extended hikes. Last spring, she covered 125 miles in eight and one-half days, carrying that 40-pound pack of basics.
The TriVita products Ive used have exceeded my expectations. That makes me trust all the rest of the products from TriVita. Peggy
If I could do it over, Id try more TriVita products sooner, and talk them up more to everyone I know.
People are always asking me where I get my stamina, and so TriVita just naturally comes up, she notes. I know the products help, so it doesnt feel like selling; it feels like helping people. With such a positive experience and attitude, what Peggy would change if she could go back in time isnt surprising: If I could do it over, Id try more TriVita products sooner, and talk them up more to everyone I know.
To celebrate her 60th birthday, Peggy jumped out of a plane at 10,500 feet to skydive.
From casual referrals, real income-generating potential

Since she first started generating referrals a few years ago Peggy has been earning rewards, But I didnt realize you could really make referrals a business until I read another Affiliate Members story in the VitaJournal. Now she has her sights on some serious goal-setting for TriVita income.
quality of life to do my share and let the Lord do the rest.
The TriVita products Ive used have exceeded my expectations. That makes me trust all the rest of the products from TriVita, Peggy says, and also makes it easy to recommend them to others.
Active in her church, and proudly married to her husband of 44 years, Marvin, Peggys life is clearly robust physically, emotionally and spiritually. At my age, if I stopped being active, it wouldnt take six months til I gained 20 pounds and had to grab onto something to stand up from a pew in church, she observes. What Im after is quality of life to do my share and let the Lord do the rest. With Peggys go-for-it! approach, that isnt a problem.

Stay Safe and Well this Winter
Top four tips to skate through the cold months ahead

Winter can be loads of fun the perfect time to bundle up and spend the holidays with family and friends. But the fun can quickly disappear if youre spending the days in bed with a head cold or worse. With a few sensible precautions, you can make the best of this winter without the headache. Here are four tips to keep you healthy: 1. Dress for the weather. Its important to dress warmly to 1 avoid serious health conditions such as frostbite and hypothermia (when the bodys temperature drops far below normal). Make sure to select the right garments to face your day: A hat. Since body heat is lost through the head, a hat that covers your ears is best for keeping warm. Mittens. Gloves are fine, but mittens provide even more heat for your hands. Boots. Waterproof, insulated boots can help maintain your footing in ice and snow, and keep your feet warm and dry.
It isnt the material gifts that give us our most precious memories; it is the gifts that were given from the happiness of the heart, in the words that were spoken the recognition of value and worth of the individual that we cherish. I am not suggesting there are not hardships that come in times like these, but I am reminding us that life is much more than the material things we chase. Even in the wealthiest of homes, if love, joy, forgiveness, peace, recognition, respect and laughter are not there, then it is really only a lifestyle measured by material things, not by quality of life. It is in the challenging times of our lives that we are most in touch with what is really meaningful and lasting. Whether that challenge is from a health, financial or personal crisis, it is then that we reach out for what is most important. Our world economic woes are not because of a few greedy men on Wall Street, it is because a world of people became greedy and lost connection with what is most meaningful in life. While we may be paying a horrible financial price, it may be one of the best things that could happen to us. It brings us back to focus on values, relationships, wellness and our relationship with God. I believe Christmas 2008 can be brighter than most as we focus on giving the gifts that last a lifetime.
2. Recognize the symptoms of hypothermia or frostbite. 2 Hypothermia. Confusion, dizziness, exhaustion and severe shivering are all symptoms of this condition. Seek medical attention immediately if you experience any of these symptoms. Frostbite. Gray, white or yellow skin discoloration, numbness or waxy-feeling skin are all signs you may have frostbite. Seek medical attention immediately.

TriVita is a company committed to wellness. While many pursue health to avoid disease, we encourage everyone to pursue wellness. Wellness is having the physical ability to do the things you love to do, to have positive daily emotions of faith, hope, forgiveness and love, and to have a relationship with God, knowing His purpose for your life. It is from wellness that you can give to others the gifts that last a lifetime not just at Christmas, but every day and to every person you come in contact with.
3 3. Be cautious when traveling. Winter weather and holiday

traveling can be a dangerous duo. Keep the following in mind: Try to allow extra time when traveling so you are not rushed on the road. Check weather conditions and heed travel advisories. Keep a survival kit in your car in case you run into a winter storm. This kit should include blankets, food, flares, gloves and a first aid kit.
4 4. Dont spread germs. Its important to take simple

measures to stay healthy and not get others sick: Cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze. Wash your hands often with anti-bacterial soap. Stay home from work when you are sick and see a healthcare provider if your condition worsens.
Make Christmas 2008 brighter by giving gifts that last a lifetime!

10 for Essentials holiday health

and wellness
Tidings of comfort and joy:
At this special time of year The 10 Essentials have special meaning: They come to you this month with a seasonal accent. Each one will improve your life and wellness in wonderful ways.
3. Sleep Peacefully
Holiday events can crowd even the healthiest sleep routines. To keep your sleep restful, stick to your regular bedtime habits. Youll sleep more soundly.
8. Practice Gratitude
4. Eat Nutritiously
The holidays remind us how blessed we are. Its easy to take for granted our health, our loved ones, our talents... our very lives. Be thankful for it all: gratitude reduces stress and builds happiness!
Its jolly to enjoy a few sweet treats, but be a Scrooge about Yuletide overeating. Stick to healthy, whole foods. Theyll help control swings in blood sugar, and help you fit into your party clothes.
9. Develop Acceptance
5. Enjoy Activity
Needless worry clouds our minds, blinds our eyes to the joy of life. When we accept the things we cant change, we give ourselves freedom. This holiday season, practice the gift of acceptance.
PHYSICAL
1. Breathe Deeply
When you savor the scents of this season, take a deep, invigorating breath. A fragrant balsam wreath... holiday cookies baking in the oven... the cold, clear air of a wintry morning. What a great time to be alive!
Keep your holiday spirits bright with energizing activities. Put up holiday decorations, build a snowman, volunteer for a church or other organizations event... bring the joy of activity to your world.
EMOTIONAL
6. Give and Receive Love
During this holiday time especially, donate time or money to your favorite charity, and spread loving generosity. What a bounty youll receive when you give of yourself so that others may be happier and healthier.
SPIRITUAL
10. Develop a Relationship with God
Have you found the comfort and joy of a spiritual life? You can receive all the blessings of unconditional love. Let the true meaning of the season bring you peace, for all the seasons to come.
2. Drink Water
Precious water helps us thrive. When shopping and Yuletide events crowd your schedule, drink up. Water boosts your energy while it quenches thirst. It may even dampen appetite at the holiday buffet table. 30 l December 2008
7. Be Forgiving
Are you holding on to resentment or anger? In this season of peace, give yourself the gift of blessed forgiveness. When you let go of negative feelings, you enrich your own spirit.
