1) Why I Know Trivita is The Best At Providing Good Health

Chronic inflammation is now known to be the culprit for almost every disease state that afflicts humans. Even a short list of these diseases – lupus, diabetes, hepatitis, allergies, asthma and arthritis – can be traced to chronic inflammation, and they’re all difficult to get under control. Most of these diseases are treated by allopathic (conventional medicine) physicians with traditional pharmaceuticals such as steroids, anti-inflammatory pills, or even injectable immune-modulating agents. Unfortunately, these traditional treatments are toxic to many organ systems and if taken incorrectly can cause serious adverse effects.

Fortunately, there is now a better understanding of chronic inflammation and its causes. A simple explanation of how inflammation occurs will help explain.
First, when an insult occurs to your body, whether it be trauma, infection or other, your immune system sends messengers to the site of the insult to scope out the injury. These messengers cause the initial response of inflammation that almost always occurs with insult or injury: redness, heat, pain and swelling. Next, your immune system will send a series of messages back to the organs that are responsible for producing the immune cells to further fight off infection. These immune cells, known as B and T cells, secrete additional bio-chemicals which instruct the organs of immunity to secrete and produce many other immune-fighting proteins. (See the illustration on this page). These proteins are like an army of soldiers and are sent to the front line of the infection or injury and go to battle, fighting any foreign invaders and/or cleaning up the infection or injury. All of this leads to an inflammatory state.

In the short term, inflammation is necessary to fight off infection and help in the healing process. However, if inflammation continues unchecked and does not settle down (e.g., becomes chronic), then serious consequences will occur. Most people suffer from pain and other negative responses when their bodies are undergoing chronic inflammation. Here are four examples:
The damage from chronic inflammation
Fighting the #1 enemy of our lives
Chronic inflammation is the #1 enemy of our lives! How do we slow it down, stop it, or even reverse it? The answer is so simple, it can be summarized in two words: BETTER NUTRITION!
I have been teaching nutrition to both fledgling medical students and full-fledged physicians for the past decade and have noted that most medical trainees anticipate a complex treatment plan for curing underlying disease states. I regularly dispel this notion by having my students and colleagues recognize that the saying “You are what you eat” is actually true. Eating healthier and taking multivitamins and mineral supplements will benefit you in so many ways, including reducing chronic inflammation.
Science has confirmed that the health and integrity of your immune system is largely dependent on your nutrient intake. Nutrients that will help your immune system and minimize chronic inflammation include: zinc, copper, and vitamins A, C, E, B-6 and folic acid. The best sources of zinc and copper are oysters and other shellfish, whole grains, beans, nuts, potatoes and organ meats. Vitamin A is found in orange vegetables such as carrots, sweet potatoes and pumpkins and in seeds and fresh fruits. Vitamin C is found in citrus fruits, bell peppers, potatoes and broccoli. Vitamin E is found in seeds, oils and the like. B-6 is everywhere in foods of both plant and animal origin, whereas folate is found only in foods of plant origin.
A balanced diet will help you achieve adequate intake of most of the above vitamins, but supplementing with a good multivitamin every day is key to maximizing your supply of these crucial micronutrients and fending off chronic inflammation. Keep in mind that adults over the age of 50 will also be at much higher risk for reduced absorption of calcium, Vitamin D and Vitamin B-12.
Antioxidants are another category of micronutrients found almost exclusively in foods of plant origin. These antioxidants scavenge your body for any inflammation and work to reduce the burden of inflammation throughout your blood vessels and organs. The key to obtaining adequate antioxidants in your body is to supply it with ample fruits and vegetables every day. Consider, too, supplementing with Fruits ‘n VegEZ to provide the necessary nutrients. In the area of antioxidants, I highly recommend adding supplements to achieve this goal, such as Nopalea™.
Wishing you the best of health this upcoming holiday season!

Most people suffer from pain and other negative responses when their bodies are undergoing chronic inflammation. Here are four examples:
The damage from chronic inflammation
- In hypertensive (high blood pressure) heart failure, where there is a chronic inflammation of the blood vessels and the heart pump has become weaker over time, the body holds onto fluid excessively to help the heart pump more blood volume to each and every part of the body. This actually weakens the heart further, strains the kidneys and worsens the underlying high blood pressure.
- With allergy sufferers, the immune system over-reacts to pollen, cat dander, ragweed or some other environmental or food product by producing excessive immune responses and resulting in chronic inflammation. The symptoms of allergies we all know include watery, itchy eyes, runny nose and nasal congestion, wheezing, hives and more. Some allergies are life-threatening.
- The latest science has confirmed that even brain diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease and multiple sclerosis, are inflammatory in nature.
- Finally, America’s growing epidemic of obesity and insulin resistance is a direct result of chronic inflammation, caused mainly by excessive fat in the internal organs sending out inflammatory bio-chemicals throughout the body.
