    July is a month of celebrations!b m r. e, ceo & f Tvt, i.

    Happy anniversary to our TriVita family in North America!

    July is the month we celebrate reedom both in the U.S. andCanada: Independence Day on July 4 and Canada Day on July 1.I consider reedom to be one o the greatest privileges we have ashuman beings. Many people have paid the ultimate sacriice inorder to protect our reedoms and the opportunities we have as reepeople to live out our potential. I am extremely grateul or thosewho have given so much that we may be ree.

    President Franklin D. Roosevelt said: In the truest sense, freedom cannot be bestowed, it must beachieved. Another great quote rom Thomas Paine says: Those who expect to reap the blessings

    of freedom must like men undergo the fatigue of supporting it.

    It is the same with our health and wellness. It is reedom o choice that allows us to pursueand achieve greater wellness. We can choose the things that support wellness or we can chooseto indulge in activities with short-term, unhealthy payos. We can live in the moment, reerom the past, by simply choosing to orgive. We can embrace all the blessings o lie by simplychoosing to practice gratitude. All o these things are achieved through our reedom o choice.

    You may not realize this, but there are countries all over the world today that have proposedlaws that would take away peoples right to choose healthy living. At TriVita, we celebrate ourreedom to market nutritional wellness products.

    This July, we are also celebrating our 10-year anniversary it is a estive time here at TriVita!We are thrilled that we now have so many abulous product choices to help people withtheir wellness. The new Nopalea product is delivering incredible experiences o better healthby lowering inlammation and helping detoxiy the body. On our North American Nopaleatour, hundreds o people shared with me their personal stories o near miraculous relie romuncomortable symptoms. What an exciting way to celebrate our 10-year anniversary: bytaking such a wonderul product to the world. Learn more about Nopalea on pages 6-9.

    I would encourage each o you to consider becoming an Ailiate Member; help us shareNopalea with your riends and amily members. We pay our Ailiates the same way we pay

    radio, television and print advertising vendors to help us get the word out about the wonderulbeneits o our products. By joining the Ailiate program, you could be earning enough topay or all your avorite TriVita products with just a ew reerrals.

    I hope you enjoy this 10-year anniversary edition.

    25 Hello Nopalea, GoodByeMuscle SorenessSues unbelievableexperience with thisamazing wellness drink.

    29 Superior IngredientsMake Better ProductsTriVitas unwaveringcommitment to quality.

    It seems like not so long ago that I sat inthe oce o our CEO, Michael Ellison, ashe shared his dream o starting TriVita.

    You see, while TriVita marks its 10th anniversarythis month, I began my association withMichael almost 13 years ago at Ellison Media TriVitas sister company. Many o you haveheard Michael share his story, but I think its

    important to hear it rom someone who wasthere rom the beginning.

    When I came on board as Michaels assistant in1996, he was traveling every week, and most oour contact was by phone while he was betweenmedia clients. Oten, when he was on the road,he would call to check in and would tell me howhe sat in the parking lot o a hospital emergencyroom the night beore contemplating whetherhe should go in or not. He wasnt sure what

    was happening to his body, but we all knew itwasnt good. It wasnt long ater a ew o theseincidences that Mayo Clinic told him that i hedidnt change his health patterns, he would diea young man.

    I hadnt been there long enough to gure himout, but I did know this much he was a veryintense man, and when he made a decision to dosomething, he did it! The news rom Mayo hit

    home. Michael soon began a wellness journey todiscover the essentials or wellness (now TriVitas10 Essentials or Health & Wellness see page 2).He began to apply these principles in his lieand discovered that these simple, yet prooundessentials were a revelation to help him nd hisown wellness.

    A couple o years later, I ound mysel sittingin his oce listening to him pour his heart outwith such passion about starting a company thatwould make an impact on changing the waypeople thought about their health. He dreamedo a company that would share these 10 Essentialsand have great nutritional products that wouldproduce wellness experiences so powerul thatpeople would want to share them with others. Itwas three years into Michaels wellness journeythat he then ormed TriVita.

    The rest is history, and I moved rom Ellison

    Media to join the Marketing Department oTriVita in 2000. When I think about how

    Walking the talk:

    TrVta empoyee ad eeWe asked TriVita employees how theirperception o health and wellness has changedsince they started working here...

    Ive always been conscientious about

    my health, but ater coming to TriVita

    I learned it really is a liestyle. CEO

    Michael Ellison challenges us to reach

    higher i we want to obtain success.

    It requires saying no to things that arent goodor me. I run on the treadmill every morning and I

    know with every step Im leading my body to a lie

    o health and wellness. I am healthy and I thank

    God or it. In a race, all the runners run, but only

    one gets the prize. I am running this race in such a

    way to win the prize.

    Sheryl W. legaland ComplianCe

    I remember how small the company

    was when I rst started. It has grown

    so much and so ast. I always tell

    riends and amily about our products.

    I am a breast cancer survivor and

    TriVita Nerve Formula really helped me ater

    chemotherapy. I enjoy reading all the Wellness

    Reports and the health articles in the VitaJournal.

    linda B. memBer ordering

    Ive been with TriVita or nine years,

    and I have to say that my perspective

    on health is notably dierent. I dontthink you can work here very long

    without talking to someone whose

    lie has been impacted by our products. Even with

    all o the exposure Ive had in other jobs regarding

    health, I assumed health would be something Idhave to do without, eventually. TriVita has gone

    a long way in changing and even reversing that

    thought or me.

    JeSS h. reSolution management

    When I rst started working at TriVita

    10 years ago, I had just overcome heart

    surgery. This was my rst job ater my

    procedure, and TriVita helped make

    me aware o taking better care omysel. Every day, I take VitaDaily AM/PM, CoQ-10,

    OmegaPrime and drink a Leanology Shake.

    marty g. FinanCe

    Since working with TriVita, my

    perception o health and wellness has

    changed quite dramatically. Back in

    2005, I was rushed to the emergency

    room. Ater various lung tests, CT

    scans, chest x-rays, lung biopsy and plenty o blood

    work, they discovered I had valley ever. This was

    a dicult time or me but with prayer, support

    rom my TriVita amily and with proper nutrition

    and supplements, I overcame it. I will never orget

    how my TriVita amily was there or me and has

    let an impression on my heart. I am thankul that

    I work in a company that embraces God. I have

    watched TriVita grow in the last ew years, and my

    perception o health and wellness has grown more

    within mysel because o being here.

    Melody was sick and tired

    o being sick and tired.She had numerous

    health problems and surgery, andmedications and other therapies justwerent helping. Ater over ve yearso excruciating pain, she was at theend o her rope and praying or help.Then, along came a new product

    which has been nothing less than agodsend... Sonoran Bloom Nopalea.

    I was walking with pain eight months agoand now, thanks to Nopalea and reducedinfammation, Ive been pain-ree or the rsttime in a long time, Melody exclaims. Nopaleahelped my body with the debilitating pain in myjoints, and now I eel just wonderul!

    Melodys health problems began back in 2002when she had to have surgery or three vertebrae

    in her neck that suddenly collapsed. Surgeonsneeded to take bone out o her hips, whichcaused arthritis in her hip, knees and ankles.They also put a plate and six screws in her neck.Over a year later the plate shited and twoscrews broke, resulting in severe infammationthat caused headaches and migraines.

    she coudt ak or day aterhoreback rdg thout evere pa

    I was in complete agony, Melody recalls.I was taking all sorts o prescription medicinesto ease the pain, but nothing seemed to work.In 2008 her son started taking barrel

    racing lessons. Melody wanted to ride

    with him, but denitely suered theconsequences... she couldnt walk ortwo to three days ater horseback ridingwithout severe pain. Now she and herson are taking barrel racing lessonstogether weekly and having a great time.

    When Melody rst heard about Nopalea, shewas a little skeptical. But the alternative beingin constant pain was even worse. So shedecided to try Nopalea and the results were

    dramatic. Im no longer in pain, she says. Youwont see me walking with a limp and I haventhad a headache in weeks. There have beenmany other pleasant post-Nopalea surprises,including being able to run up the stairs or therst time in a long time. She also remembersthe time at her sons school when she had to runuphill to get to the car. When Melody got home,there were messages on her cell phone rompeople who saw her running and wanted to nd

    out more about her miraculous recovery.

    Most importantly, she can now enjoy pain-reehorseback riding with her son. Since takingNopalea, Melody has eased o the manymedications that were helping with pain. Herblood sugar levels are also ar better. She lovesthe taste o Nopalea and nds it hard not totake a little extra nip.

    sharg the goode th otherNow other amily members are getting in ona good thing. Her husband has osteoarthritisand is already seeing results ater three weekso Nopalea. Ater her riend saw Melodysastonishing recovery, she has started takingit hersel and began seeing a dierence inone week.

    Melody has also gotten tremendous results romother TriVita products, including Sublingual

    B-12. At age 39 I was already orgetting thingsand not as sharp as I should be, she remembers.I noticed a big improvement in my clarity onceI started taking Sublingual B-12 and an even

    bigger dierence when I moved up to SuperSublingual B-12. She decided to try out otherbrands o B-12 products, but soon discoveredthat there is a big dierence. TriVitas brandis so much better.

    news and advice to help everyoneexperience wellness.

    I theres a child in your lie who weighs toomuch, dont just write it o as baby at.Growing numbers o children are being puton drugs or diabetes and high blood pressure,

    and the culprit is usually excess weight.

    You probably know that healthy eatingand physical activity are important orchildrens health but do you know howto encourage positive habits? Try these tipsor living healthier.

    Be a heathy eatg eaberEncourage better eating habits by adoptingthese expert suggestions:

    Buy ad erve more rut advegetabe. Whether resh, rozen,canned or dried, let your child choosehis or her own.

    steer cear o ot drk ad hgh-at/hgh-caore ack ood. Chips,cookies and candy are strictly sometimesmunchies not everyday ood.

    Beg th breakat. Skipping it canleave a child tired, hungry and lling uplater on unhealthy oods.

    so do o at ood. When you dochoose ast ood, urge youngsters to enjoysalads with low-at dressing, or sandwichesminus cheese or mayo.

    Dot pour o the juce. One hundredpercent ruit juice, though healthy, is highin calories. Water, low-at milk and milkproducts are important or growth.

    Focu o at. Instead o saturated and

    trans ats in the amilys ood, try to getmost ats rom sh, vegetable oils,nuts (beware o ood allergies) and seeds.

    Beare o ood reard. I eatingvegetables earns a child dessert, helearns that vegetables are less desirable,and sweets are a prize.

    Be your o heathy ood marketer.

    When did you last see a noisy, happy TVcommercial or carrots or whole wheatbread? Kids are bombarded with marketingmessages about unhealthy oods, otenlinked with cartoon characters and toys.Its up to you to talk up yummy ruits,crunchy vegetables and their importanceto growing bodies.

    Movg u!You can encourage a child to be physically activein these commonsense ways:

    set a exampe. To make a child want tomove around and have un with it, walkthe walk yoursel. A child seeing you enjoyphysical activity is more likely to be activethroughout lie.

    Go, team! Encourage your child tojoin a sports team or group activity like

    dancing or gymnastics at school or a localcommunity center.

    le beyod port. I your child isembarrassed by taking part in sports,encourage less organized activities: playingtag with riends, dancing to music orriding a bicycle.

    A general exercise guideline or pre-adolescentchildren is 60 minutes per day, but it doesnthave to be concentrated time. Periods o just10 minutes activity throughout the day workjust as well.

    There are lots o commonly-available oodsthat are great or kids o all sizes and ages.

    Here are 10 that should be more than just

    ood or thought:

    Beets. Loaded with minerals and

    antioxidants.

    Cabbage. May help ght cancer.

    Cinnamon. Sprinkle it on to help controlblood sugar.

    Prunes. A tasty, portable snack packed

    with antioxidants.

    Pumpkin seeds. High in magnesium,

    theyre super-nutritious.

    Swiss chard. Vision may be aided by this

    leay green vegetable.

    Sardines. Sometimes called health ood

    in a can, they oer good ats, calcium

    and more.

    Turmeric. This spice superstar may

    reduce infammation.

    Blueberries. Some studies indicate that

    rozen or resh, they boost memory.

    the most out o lie? Have you (orothers) noticed that youre moodyor orgetul? Frequently, patients whocome to me with these symptomsdont need a medicine, a certainkind o ood or some elaborate test.

    What so many need is simply apowerul vitamin: B-12.

    Unortunately, many people dont get enoughVitamin B-12 in their daily diets. Or theycant absorb the Vitamin B-12 in ood due todigestive issues like gastric relux or colitis. Andsometimes, its just a matter o time: The bodysability to absorb B vitamins starts to declinearound age 40, and continues to decline witheach passing year.

    SUCCESS STORIES

    I knew it was the Super B12that made the difference.

    I was diagnosed with

    multiple sclerosis about

    17 years ago. Over the

    past couple o years, myneurologist had me take

    a cognitive test which

    measures my ability to ocus

    and have clarity o mind. I did well on the rst

    ew tests. I only lost my ocus a couple times

    and got about 3-4 questions wrong. A ew

    months ago, I ound out about TriVitas new

    Super Sublingual B-12 and began taking it to

    see how it would work or me. I was hopeul I

    would see positive results. Well, I went to my

    neurologist yesterday and, as usual, he had

    me take the cognitive test again. This time I

    did great... I had a PERFECT score and never

    lost my ocus.

    The woman who administered the test was

    amazed and very impressed; she said they

    dont normally see a perect score, especially

    with someone in my condition. Also, beore

    I started on Super B -12, I went on a minor

    detox diet and cut out caeine. I ound myselextremely tired all the time and wanting my

    caeine. Ater a ew weeks, I started drinking

    caeine again. I also started taking Super

    B-12. Recently I decided to do another minor

    detox diet and went o caeine again. Never

    once did I lack any energy rom not having

    caeine; I knew it was the Super B-12 that

    made the dierence. Thanks so much!

    or about 19 years. I am not

    one o those people that drink cofee in the

    morning or a boost, so super subgua

    B-12 was appealing to me. My days are verylong, which tend to leave me eeling lethargic

    and bottomed out. I needed

    something other than an energy

    drink and the Super Sublingual

    B-12 proved to be a great choice!

    I noticed the increased energy

    the rst day. When I run

    super subgua B-12 and told him I really

    was not sure i I elt much o a diference. Then

    I ran out and stopped taking Super B-12. Rightaway, I noticed my memory was less sharp and

    out during the summer. I have to clean them

    every week. Its a lot o scrubbing when I have

    all seven to do! I wont go anywhere without

    around and went back to get it! He also takes

    the B-12 and never leaves home without it in

    the morning. I now have energy to ride my

    immediately. My husband has beendiagnosed with Alzheimers and sufers

    rom dementia. We had several lab tests

    done and one measured his

    B-12 level he was severely anemic. We showed

    our doctor inormation on the Sublingual B-12

    and asked i we could try this because in

    the past it has made a big diference in my

    husbands mood swing, energy and cognitive

    unction. He said we could try it or one month

    and then retest my husband. Well, the nextblood test showed a B-12 level o almost 700!

    With this improvement he decided not to

    take the B-12 shots, which are painul and

    In act, Gillian is so committed to wellnessthat she studied or two years at the AliveAcademy o Natural Health and earneddiplomas in both advanced nutrition

    reedom can some-times be painul anddicult, but therewards are well worththe eort. When you

    can master your emotions, the worldbecomes a much riendlier place.Imagine what lie would be like i you werestuck in trac and you were utterly calm, orwhen your boss loses his temper, you arerelaxed and unmoved by his emotionaloutburst. This is what it eels like when youhave achieved emotional reedom. You choosehow to respond to lies circumstances.

    Emotional reedom is your ability to cultivatepositive emotions and transorm negative ones.By liberating yoursel rom the destructive

    energy o unmanaged anger and ear, you willnd more happiness and serenity. But i wereuse to ace the ear and anger in ourselves,it is very likely to be projected onto others.

    lvg authetcayMany times the root cause o uncontrolled earand anger develops out o the loss o authen-ticity. This can lead to rustration, depression,anxiety and worry.

    We are born with a reedom o expression.Children rom ages two to ve live authenti-cally, seldom araid to speak their minds,or seek out what they want. They have an

    optimism that i something doesnt work outor them something else will. They are alwayson an adventure o discovery and delight.

    Unortunately, children learn very early inlie that expressing their personal opinionsand eelings has consequences. As childrengrow older, adults tend to instruct children toadapt to what is considered acceptable andnormal. It is emphasized that to get along inthe world, sometimes we need to withhold ouropinions, listen to our elders and deny whatwe think or eel.

    When children lose their authentic selves,they begin to lose their inner control. Insteado the spirit o adventure they were born with,over time they begin to live lives o rustration,anger and ear araid to speak their mindand do what they want to do.

    One o the most important and meaningulaspects in lie is to honor your authentic sel your true nature and express it in the world.

    lvg your truthHow would it eel to be completely trueto yoursel to eel completely aliveand empowered?

    Living authentically is living your truth.Personal truth is an inner knowing; itresonates deep within and brings a eeling o

    being ully alive. When you know the truth,the truth will set you ree (John 8:32).

    Knowing your true and authentic sel requiresa time o deep introspection, a willingness tobe still and listen within. You have to have thecourage to get to know your true sel and alignyour important inner world with what you aredoing in the outer world.

    When you are guided each and every day bythe still, small voice to be your true sel andulll your authentic work in the world you

    will live joyully, ullling your highest purpose.

    No matter how stressed out, discouraged oroverwhelmed you currently eel, you can turnaway rom negativity, react constructively andtake command o any situation. Completeemotional mastery is within your grasp. Itsinside o you. The time or positive changeis now.

    Now the Lordis the Spirit, andwhere the Spiritof the Lord is,there is freedom.

    2 Cor. 3:17

    Millions o North Americans markJuly as a special time o unity andreedom. In the U.S., we observeIndependence Day; in Canada, theoccasion is the day on which Canadabecame a single, united country.While political reedoms come andgo, the spiritual reedom we enjoyhas never wavered: God gives us thereedom to choose.

    Will we choose the right path or the wrong?Will we promote good or evil? Will we use ourreedom to gloriy Him and His love or give in

    to base impulses? In my view, this reedom tochoose, to exercise our ree will in belies andactions, is both a blessing and a curse.

    Because were ree to choose, were ree to trulylove God or to reject Him. In sharing thebounty o the Lords love, we receive a blessingo surpassing joy. I we choose to reject His love,we ultimately curse our own lives with sorrowand pain.

    Fath thout opto:o ath at aSo why, in the Creators innite wisdom, didnthe just make sure that we all would love andobey Him, all the time? Because He is innitelywise. O course, we could have been spirituallyprogrammed to choose only the way ogoodness, all the time. But i you believe becauseyou have no other option, where is the aith?And where is the genuine love or the Creator?

    By giving us a blank check o choice, Godensured that His love would be returned only bythose who truly wanted ellowship with Him.

    your body, His Temple 1 Cor. 6:19-20

    Spiritual independence,

    spiritual choiceby Chaplain Gene Henderson

    Free to choose good or evil, when we chooseGods love and to love him wholly, we lovevoluntarily and truly.

    Over the years, Ive encountered many peoplewho look at this choice rom a very strict,hellre and damnation perspective. I I maygeneralize, I see this attitude as very negative.This view holds that God is punitive and harsh,and woe unto the sinul humans who dontmeasure up at every turn.

    I take a dierent approach. Instead o simpli-ying our choices as good or bad ones, why notview our spiritual reedom as the choice o ourown experiences and infuences every day? Wemight choose to embrace Gods spiritual reedomby taking the time to have lunch with someonein need o company, or visiting someone in thehospital, or just phoning a riend to see howthey are.

    Heres another example o choice. Say yourchild has a fair or both art and science, andyou want her to go to medical school. However,she dreams o being an artist. Because God hasgiven her gits and talents that can be expressed

    in many ways, she might become a medicalillustrator and that way, help teach peopleto help others heal.

    Freedom to embraceour gt ad hareI preach about spiritual reedom that springsrom Gods true spiritual reedom: the desire orus to embrace our gits and talents and sharethem with others. God desires us to be healthy,to be productive, to enjoy abundance and thewonders o His world.

    What a glorious thing it is to have the reedomto make the choices to be healthy, happy andgrateul or all the gits and blessings we have.It puts me in mind o my granddaughter, age 6,when my son and his wie ound a wrappedChristmas git in July that had been misplacedduring the holidays. Grandpa! she exclaimedexcitedly. Is it Christmas?! Its hot outside!

    Her eyes sparkled; joy shone rom her ace.

    Every day is that surprise box that you open.It really can be Christmas in July! Can weembrace that as Gods child? What has Hegot in the box today or you?

    ... if you believe because you have no other option, where is the faith?

    The bottom line is with Leanology being animportant part o my diet my hunger is satised

    I started Leanology because Iwas about 25 pounds over myideal body weight. I couldnt

    wear the clothes that I wantedto wear, which was becomingdiscouraging. So ar Ive lost 15pounds in about three months.

    I take the capsules in the morning and at night.I drink the shake or lunch. I like the act thatI can get through an aternoon on the shake it keeps me ull or three hours and also helpsme rom overeating at dinner. I like how theresno crash and burn sensation like youd get

    rom other shakes.

    Ive always been a walker and try to go 30minutes a day, three to our times a week.Also, since I started Leanology, Ive noticedthat I actually crave more ruits and vege-tables, especially or snacks. It also made mewant to drink more water. Seeing my bodychange, noticing a diference in my shape,really kept me motivated. My advice to othersis: ollow the program, but make it work or

    you, in your schedule. Drink the shakes whenyou need them. Also, eat healthy snacks anddrink lots o water!liSa g. leXington, Ky

    we started with a handul o employees, one WellnessConsultant, and an empty building with olding tablesinstead o desks, I am amazed at where we are today.

    Being a part o the TriVita amily or these 10 years has taughtme so much about health and wellness. I nd mysel oeringwellness solutions to not only riends and amily, but also tostrangers when the topic o health comes up (which it almostalways does).

    Every time my daughters hear me in conversations and someonebrings up a health issue, theyll laughingly say, Oh, boy, hereit comes Im sure TriVita has a solution for that, right Mom?They told me recently that when I die, theyre going to have

    my headstone say, She was the biggest advocate for TriVita!My daughters may tease me about it, but all three o themtake many o our products daily. The reality is, when you areequipped with wellness inormation and you experience greatproducts, it becomes second nature to tell others about it.

    I am honored to see Michaels dream come to ruition andwith the launch o Nopalea, his passion or wellness has onlyincreased! I see an even brighter uture than ever or TriVitaas we are hearing countless stories o how Nopalea is changingthe lives o our Members. It gives me great pride to be

    summer ever!

    1. Cherre:Cherries arebursting withVitamins A, Cand E, as well asphytochemicalsthat help your bodyblock the ormation o breast, lung, liver,

    stomach and skin cancers. Tart cherriesincrease production o melatonin to assistdeeper sleep; whats more, they have medicinalproperties that help ght gout. A bagul ocherries belongs in every picnic basket!

    2. Cataoupe:Full o potassium,Vitamin C and betacarotene. This deliciousmelon has

    illness-ghtingproperties thathelp your bodynormalize blood

    pressure, protect against cancer and loweryour cholesterol. Hal a cantaloupe lledwith low-at plain yogurt or cottage cheeseand cinnamon is a great way to get your daystarted or a terric mid-day snack.

    3. watermeo:

    Summers renownedsweet treat, packedwith favor andlots o water tokeep you hydrated.Watermelon is anincredibly alkalizingood to keep your pH incheck or the summertime.

    4. Peache:Great source o carotenes,potassium and favonoids. Peaches also providelutein and lycopene, which have benecialproperties against heart disease, maculardegeneration and cancer.

    5. Gred vegge: Cooking outdoors isone o the greatest pleasures o the season.Zucchini, squash and red peppers are antasticon the grill when drizzled with a little oliveoil, salt and pepper. Always make double the

    amount so you can make sandwiches or lunchat the beach or in the park the next day!

    6. Ched oup: Chilled soups likegazpacho or cucumber-dill that contain lots ochunky vegetables are a great, nutrient-denseway to cool o and start a meal.

    7. Beet: Theyre at their peak in summermonths and both the greens and the bulbcan be eaten. Beets clean up our blood andcan help your body stave o cancer. They arerich in olate, an essential nutrient or ghtingbirth deects. Grate the purplish part into yoursalad and chop the tops, saut in olive oil or

    coconut oil and garlic or a satisying side dish.Or roast the beets, then drizzle with balsamicvinegar and add some goat cheese and mintor a nice summer side dish.

    8. Ba: In addition to being a abuloussummer favor, basil also helps your body

    combat cancerous changes in cells. Add tothat the digestive benet o helping to quellgaseous spasms, and you have one o naturesmost powerul herbs.

    9. Avocado:The monounsaturated atsin avocados help improve triglyceride levelsand bring down cholesterol. I make my ownguacamole with minced red onion, choppedcilantro, lime juice, a pinch o sea salt and aclove o garlic. Tip: To keep it resher longer,

    leave the pit in the guacamole to slow downthe oxidation process.

    10. Tomatoe:Fresh tomatoesalways make thesummertimelist. This is thebest time o yearto get homegrown

    tomatoes o all varieties,including cherry and grape.Tomatoes are known or helping your bodyreduce the risk o cancer and protecting againstcataracts. The Vitamin A and C content,potassium and iron, make it one big nutritionalmega ood that should not be missed, especiallyin the summer when they are in their prime.Pair them with avocados and basil with a lightdrizzle o olive oil or a taste o pure reshness.

    Ann Arbor, MichiganBlueberries are already known as natures health ood, and recent research points to even more benets. A studyat the University o Michigan Cardiovascular Center showed that blueberries helped reduce abdominal at and

    reduced risk actors or cardiovascular disease and metabolic syndrome. (Metabolic syndrome is a group o riskactors which together increase the risk o heart disease and type 2 diabetes.)

    The study involved three groups o laboratory rats: two groups had powdered blueberries added to either a low-or high-at diet and one group received a regular diet. Ater 90 days, rats that had received the powder had lessabdominal at, lower triglycerides and cholesterol, and had improved asting glucose and insulin sensitivity.

    Those that were given a low-at/blueberry powder diet exhibited even greater health benets than those on thehigh-at/blueberry diet, including lower body weight, lower total at mass and reduced liver mass.

    Researchers believe the benecial eects o blueberries are due to their high levels o antioxidants. Their ndingswere presented at the Experimental Biology 2009 convention in New Orleans.

    anTicipaTing a good laugh may reduce sTress hormones

    San Diego, CaliforniaJust looking orward to a good laugh can reduce three stress hormones, researchers rom Loma Linda Universityreported at the 2008 Annual Meeting o the American Physiological Society.

    Earlier studies by the same researchers showed that anticipating laughter increased health-protective hormones:beta-endorphins by 27 percent and human growth hormone by 87 percent.

    In the current study, 16 males were divided into two groups: a control group and a group that was anticipating ahumorous event such as watching a comedy. Blood was taken rom participants beore the event, our times duringthe event and three times ater the event. Results showed a reduction in three stress hormones cortisol, epinephrineand dopac or those in the anticipation group. Stress hormone levels progressively decreased through the event.

    According to lead researcher, Dr. Lee Berk, Our ndings lead us to believe that by seeking out positive experiencesthat make us laugh, we can do a lot with our physiology to stay well.
