Trivita Sonoran Bloom

Inflammation appropriately called “The Silent Killer” lurks in many of us, and the sad thing is, we aren’t even aware of it! Inflammation is the body’s immediate first-aid reaction to heal itself from some type of damage caused by a virus, bacteria, fungus, environmental toxin, or an injury. Without the crucial process of inflammation, the body cannot restore itself in the face of damage. The bodies normal reaction. Once the threat is gone, the body is able to go back to a non-emergency state—and the inflammation process turns off.

Unfortunately, sometimes inflammation never gets the message to shut down, thus chronic inflammation becomes a very serious issue within the body. Dishing out some chronic diseases as Type 2 diabetes, obesity, heart disease and even cancer.

Frustration personified often describes the relationship between doctor and patient as chronic inflammation often is just under radar. As doctors struggle to find the root cause of symptoms, patients try to hang on to hope for a diagnosis and cure. Chronic inflammation silently works within, ultimately over time compromising the immune system eventually resulting in various diseases.

There is a simple blood test available to detect chronic inflammation. C-reactive protein is a solid indicator for disease potential. In fact, research reveals that chronic inflammation increases the level of C-reactive protein (CRP) in the blood. According to a study from Copenhagen, Denmark people with high levels of C-reactive protein (CRP)have a 30 percent greater risk of developing cancer than those with low CRP levels; this study was found in the March 2009 Journal of Clinical Oncology.

The researchers analyzed the CRP levels in 10,408 people who were part of the Copenhagen City Heart Study; high CRP levels were associated with a 30 percent increase in cancer risk. Among participants who developed cancer, those with high CRP levels were 80 percent more likely to die sooner than those with lower levels. Lead author of this study Kristine Allin, M.D. a physician at Copenhagen University Hospital stated this, “While future research will need to confirm our findings, our study suggest that testing patients’ C-reactive protein levels provides a more comprehensive picture of a patient’s health than we previously thought. In addition to predicting heart disease risk, this simple test could help us assess a patient’s future cancer risk and eventual cancer prognosis,”

There are natural pro-active solutions to try and help prevent chronic inflammation, and if you do have this “silent killer” lurking within there is no better time than now to try and stop it! As always consult with your doctor, inquire about this simple blood test to know for sure. However, you can drink in the wellness of an all natural defender of inflammation and it is found in Nopalea Sonoran Bloom. Sonoran Bloom Nopalea contains a vital nutrient called betalin which has been clinically proven to aid in reducing inflammation.

The healing begins with you, by taking the first step in prevention!

In many of the articles I’ve written about TriVita’s Sonoran Bloom Nopalea™, I talk about toxins and how they attack your body. Fighting toxins from the water we drink to the food we eat is a constant battle.

So, how to we fight these toxins? Brazos Minshew, Chief Science Officer of TriVita, explains it best in his Weekly wellness Report. I’ve included that report in its entirety. Continue reading to see how toxins in our air, water, and food affect the human body.

Toxins in Our Air, Water and Food
by Brazos Minshew

We have one of the safest food and water supply chains in the world here in North America. That is, our supply chain is “safe” when we compare it to others that are worse. It is “safe” when we compare it to how it used to be here in North America. Our food and water supplies are “safe” when we think of how toxic they could be if we didn’t have the legislation in place that governs pollution in our food and water.

And yet, every expert recognizes two truths about the safety of our food and water: They are far, far away from how safe they could be, and the toxins in our food and water are getting worse every year.

Bad water, bad food
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 1.4 million children die each year from diseases related to polluted water. Tragedy for these families could quickly be eliminated if there were only minimum standards of hygiene applied to their drinking water. We enjoy this protection in “developed” lands. Yet, our drinking water is so polluted that water wells are frequently closed due to contamination.

Do you drink bottled water? Many of us do; and yet, specific toxins called phthalates and parabens contaminate water bottled in plastic containers. Many of these toxins accumulate in our body. The chemicals are so new that science has no idea what the consequences are to human health as time progresses. We are learning that reproductive cancer rates increase when animals and people are exposed to parabens and phthalates over time.

Our food supply is contaminated with these chemicals as well as from pollution in our air and specific toxins used in agriculture. Certain fruits and vegetables are singled out as the most contaminated foods we eat:

• Strawberries
• Spinach
• Bell peppers
• U.S. cherries
• Peaches
• Mexican cantaloupe
• Celery
• Apples
• Apricots
• Green beans
• Chilean grapes
• Cucumbers

While we enjoy protection from acute bacterial infections that cause diarrheal diseases, we ultimately pay a price for this protection: a shift toward chronic disease from accumulated toxins.

Isolation and insulation
To improve our health we should limit our toxic exposure. Obviously, many people do not have the financial resources to implement all of the possible changes we need for truly “safe” air, water and food. Still, any improvement we make as individuals will benefit our health over time. And, as the old saying goes, we make ourselves either part of the problem or part of the solution by our everyday choices.

Water - We can begin insulating ourselves against toxic water through filtration. Loose-granular carbon filters will remove parabens and phthalates from drinking water. We also need these same interventions for bathing water, as our skin (our largest organ) absorbs chemicals in water. These are often low-cost solutions to water toxicity.
Food - Food, especially the fruits and vegetables listed above, should be grown organically and purchased locally. Try growing your own garden as a source of wholesome, nutritious, pesticide-free food.
Air - Green cleaning supplies can help immensely in cleaning up the air inside your home. More help for keeping your personal space toxin-clean can be found in libraries and on Internet sites - especially ones that end with .org and .gov.

Insulation from toxins is found by keeping our nutrient reserves high and taking nutrients with known anti-toxin benefits. Many toxins are fat soluble, so keeping our “good fats” high may allow us to pass bad (toxic) fats out of our system. Other toxins can be detoxified by internal body processes with common nutrients like Vitamin B-12, Vitamin C and green tea.

An excellent anti-toxin effect is seen in Betalains - a group of bioflavonoids in the Quercetin family. Betalains help protect healthy cells from certain poisons, help distressed cells return to normal when possible, and drain away toxic waste-water from around healthy tissues.

Conclusion
Health only comes from healthy habits practiced every single day of our life. To achieve the lofty goal of clean air, water and food we must begin with our own home and our own food and water supply. To insulate our fragile internal environment we must keep all of the nutrients “on board” that detoxify or displace toxic waste. In the end, we must not slip into complacency about the safety of our environment. Instead, we must be vigilant in order to be part of the solution!

Many people have never thought about this, my self included. Do you feel you’re safe from toxins? Have you ever thought about where sickness and diseases come from? Food toxins are as commonplace as the food itself. I believe that you could take any fruit or vegetable, not just the ones listed above, and find a disease that is associated with them.

Whether these diseases are natural, and/or man induced, they are still harmful to your body, and we need a way to fight against their destructive qualities. Sonoran Bloom Nopalea is, in my opinion, one of the best ways to fight these toxins that invade our bodies on a daily basis. Betalains, a key ingredient of Nopalea, are the pigments that give the Nopal cactus fruit its vibrant pink color, which are natural antioxidants. The Nopal fruit contains one of the highest amounts of betalains in all of nature.

Sonoran Bloom wellness products are made from premium botanicals carefully harvested from the Sonoran Desert. And with their scientifically validated health benefits, they’ll help you fight the toxins in your body.

Inflammation is a process by which the body’s white blood cells and chemicals protect us from infection and foreign substances such as bacteria and viruses.

In some diseases, however, the body’s defense system (immune system) inappropriately triggers an inflammatory response when there are no foreign substances to fight off. In these diseases, called auto immune diseases, the body’s normally protective immune system causes damage to its own tissues. The body responds as if normal tissues are infected or somehow abnormal. What diseases are associated with inflammation?

Some, but not all, types of arthritis are the result of misdirected inflammation. Arthritis is a general term that describes inflammation in joints. Some types of arthritis associated with inflammation include:

Rheumatoid arthritis
Shoulder tendinitis or bursitis
Gouty arthritis
Polymyalgia rheumatica

Other painful conditions of the joints and musculoskeletal system that are not associated with inflammation include osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, muscular low back pain and muscular neck pain. What are the symptoms of inflammation?

Inflammation is characterized by:

Redness Swollen joint that is warm to touch
Joint pain
Joint stiffness
Loss of joint function

Often, only a few of these symptoms are present.

Inflammation may also be associated with general “flu-like” symptoms including:

Fever
Chills
Fatigue/loss of energy
Headaches
Loss of appetite
Muscle stiffness

So what can you do about inflammation appropriately called “The Silent Killer” and for good reason as mentioned above. One thing you can do as a proactive approach to reducing inflammation is to try the juice of the Nopal cactus fruit which contains Betalains. Betalaines are a rare and potent class of antioxidants that flourish in the Nopal cactus fruit. Nopalea harnesses the power of this desert superfruit and its betalains to bring you scientifically proven health benefits.

Betalains are the pigments that give the Nopal cactus fruit its vibrant pink color. But that’s just the beginning. They’re also natural antioxidants—and they’re only found in a few of the world’s plants.

The Nopal fruit isn’t just included in this small group of special plants, it actually leads the group by containing one of the highest amounts of betalains in all of nature.

So how can you harness the power of this desert superfruit?

When you drink Sonoran Bloom Nopalea, you take these betalains into your system, where they begin to restore your vitality on a cellular level. By helping the body reduce the toxins surrounding your cells and enabling essential nutrients to reach each cell, the betalains in Sonoran Bloom Nopalea can reduce the inflammation in your body that leads to disease.

Happy Holidays!

NOPAL - An Abundant Nutritional Reservoir! And boy is that an understatement. Nopal cactus fruit defends your body against dangerous toxins that threaten cellular health, lead to inflammation and trigger a whole host of diseases.

So how did this new super fruit get it’s start?

History:

Nopal is a large cactus with a woody trunk and large top, many oblong joints, small, yellow barbed spines, bright yellow flowers and red fruit with a juicy, white, sweet flesh and numerous black seeds. It is said to be a native of Mexico, where it is considered the symbol of identity of the Mexican people and is even included on the Mexican flag, depicting a Mexican golden eagle perched upon the Opuntia cactus, devouring a snake.

About twenty thousand years ago, Opuntia (or Nopal) began to develop as a food, and the plant’s development was said to enable human settlement and cultural development in many parts of the arid lands, where it was considered the lifeblood of those ancient cultures, particularly in times of drought.

Approximately 5000 to 7000 B. C., prehistoric indigenous groups began the cultivation of a series of native plants, including beans, opuntia, peppers and agave, etc., and in Pre-Columbian times, Nopal was considered an important staple food (for both humans and livestock), a beverage, a medicine, a source of dye and was included in religious and magical rites. During the Spanish Colonial Period, Nopal gained further importance as forage when cattle was introduced to the semiarid areas and there was a consequent depletion of grasslands. Its beneficial uses as a medicine and beverage were also gaining in reputation.

In the De la Cruz-Badiano Codex of 1552, it was noted that Nopal treated several ailments and was used to cure burns and soothe wounds, and Friar Motolinia said, “these Indians, from a land so sterile that they lack water, drink the juice of these leaves of nopal.” Nopal received its botanical genus name, Opuntia, from Tournefot, who thought the plant was similar to a thorny plant that grew in the town of Opus, in Greece.

After the Spanish conquest, Nopal spread from Mexico to practically all the Americas (from Canada to Patagonia, in Argentina) and may now be found in tropical and arid regions throughout the world, including the southwestern United States. It grows in Israel, where the Prickly Pear is called tzabar (Hebrew:) and it is the origin of the slang term, Sabra, meaning a native-born Israeli Jew.

Some of the constituents in Nopal include water, fat, mucopolysaccharide soluble fibers, carbohydrate, protein, saponins, glycosides, a flavonoid (quercetin), minerals and large amounts of B1, B6, niacin, riboflavin and pantothenic acid.

So there you go…a bit of history behind the Nopal cactus and it’s wonderous super fruit the basis of TriVit’s Sonoran Bloom Nopalea.

If you too wish to experience the Nopal Super Fruit and it’s wondrous health benefits, you don’t have to go out to the desert and find a Nopal cactus, all you need to do is visit this site for more information on TriVit’s Sonoran Bloom Nopalea!

According to a recent article in Time magazine there is a potential killer that lies within, and its called inflammation. Inflammation is a condition that occurs when the body’s natural immune response goes awry. It can go undetected for years, continually assaulting the brain, heart and immune system.

Inflammation is a process by which the body’s white blood cells and chemicals protect us from infection and foreign substances such as bacteria and viruses. When inflammation occurs normally, chemicals from the body’s white blood cells are released to protect us from foreign substances. Sometimes, however, the white blood cells and their inflammatory chemicals cause damage to the body’s tissues.

In some diseases, however, the body’s defense system (immune system) inappropriately triggers an inflammatory response when there are no foreign substances to fight off. In these diseases, called auto immune diseases, the body’s normally protective immune system causes damage to its own tissues. The body responds as if normal tissues are infected or somehow abnormal.

What can YOU do to slow down this “Silent Killer”

Betalains are a rare and potent class of antioxidants that flourish in the Nopal cactus fruit. Nopalea harnesses the power of this desert superfruit and its betalains to bring you scientifically proven health benefits.

Betalains are the pigments that give the Nopal cactus fruit its vibrant pink color. But that’s just the beginning. They’re also natural antioxidants—and they’re only found in a few of the world’s plants.

The main ingredient of TriVita’s Sonoran Bloom Nopalea™ is the nopal cactus. Why? Because studies show that the nopal (the prickly pear cactus) is a valuable health supporting nutrient. The nopal helps support immune, glandular, nervous, circulatory, respiratory and digestive systems.

Below is additional information on the real value of the nopal, and why it has been chosen to be the main ingredient in Nopalea™. Even though this information has not been verified by the FDA, many independent scientific studies have compiled the follow information.

The nopal’s 18 amino acids, provide you with more energy & reduce fatigue by helping the body to lower blood sugar. The nopal strengthens the liver & pancreas thereby increasing sensitivity to insulin which stimulates the movement of glucose from the blood into body cells where it is used as energy. It also slows the digestion of carbohydrates which in turn slows insulin production.

The nopal is high in nutrients that help to strengthen the liver and the pancreas. The health of these two organs is vitally important for the proper conversion of carbohydrate sugars into stored glycogen, which is then useable as energy by the body. The production of insulin and the sensitivity of body cells to insulin is necessary to move glucose from the blood stream into body cells where it is used as energy. The nopal helps to detoxify and support the functions of the liver and pancreas, while improving body cell response to insulin stimulation.

The active ingredients found in Nopal aid in preventing the digestive system from absorbing excess dietary fat and carbohydrate sugars, thereby maintaining proper blood sugar balance and helping to control obesity. Nopal contains high levels of both soluble and insoluble dietary fibers. Soluble fibers present in Nopal include mucilages, pectin, gums and some hemicellulose. Insoluble fibers include cellulose, lignan and remaining hemicellulose. Nopal is a gentle alternative to psyllium 9a well-known fiber supplement taken for colon cleansing) for those with a sensitivity or allergy to psyllium.

Phytochemicals are powerful allies for the body’s immune system, by allowing the body defend itself against pathogens. Recent studies have found that among the phytochemicals found in the nopal are the types that inhibit cancerous cell growth and may even help prevent cancer from developing. Animal studies confirm this, showing that dosages of juice from the nopal increase immune system efficiency in controlling tumor growth, Epstein-Barr virus and suppressed immune response.

The nopal acts in several ways that have been found to reduce the risk of heart disease. First, the fiber found in the nopal acts to absorb and excrete cholesterol in the digestive system. Second, the amino acids, fiber and B3 (niacin) found in the nopal prevents excess sugar conversions into fats, while reducing triglyceride and LDL cholesterol levels, by metabolizing fat and fatty acids and eliminating excess bile acids which eventually convert into cholesterol. Third, the B3 (niacin) in the nopal acts to convert LDL(bad) cholesterol to HDL (good) forms of cholesterol.

Further studies suggest that the amino acids and fiber, together with the anti-oxidant effect of the vitamin C and vitamin A (B-carotene) found in the nopal, aid in preventing blood vessel wall damage and the formation of fatty plaques in the arteries (arteriosclerosis).

The nopal helps prevent diabetic Neuropathy (nerve damage) and aids in the balancing and calming of the nervous system, which creates a sense of well being and benefits the body’s overall function.

The nopal is a natural source of 18 Amino acids, 8 of which must be ingested as food. Vitamins A, E, and C act as antioxidants. Vitamin B (niacin) lowers cholesterol. Vitamin B12 protect against atherosclerosis. Vitamin E helps prevent blood clots and the formation of fatty plaques on the walls of the arteries and helps counteract nerve damage associated with adult-onset diabetes. Folic acid reduces risk the of stroke and together with B12 help prevent cells from becoming malignant. The nopal is an excellent source of these important vitamins in a natural form.

I know your probably thinking that all these fantastic attributes surrounding the nopal cactus seem to good to be true. I’d be skeptical also if I read this. That’s why I suggest you go to Google and do a search for the nopal cactus, and/or Sonoran Bloom Nopalea™. I’m sure you will find that the nopal cactus is one true natural fruit that delivers results. However, it’s not a fruit that is typically sold in stores.

Sonoran Bloom Nopalea™ delivers results, just like the nopal cactus. To learn more about TriVita and Sonoran Bloom Nopalea™, click on the previous links.

In an article called, Inflammation: The New Medical “Bad Guy”, by Bruce Bailey, Ph.D., “according to the latest medical theory, chronic inflammation is the root cause of almost every disease suffered by human beings.” This should NOT be new news to anyone, as Hippocrates had this same theory hundreds of years ago when he said, that “all disease is one.”

What is inflammation?

According to Dr. Bailey, “as a part of our immune response system, inflammation occurs when the body is fighting germs that enter the body through a variety of ways, e.g. injury or inhalation. When you experience redness, swelling, heat, infection, and pain from a variety of ailments, it’s a sign of inflammation“.

So what happens if we fail to effectively fight and/or stop the inflammation? Dr. Bailey says”normally, the inflammation goes away when the body has conquered the infection or injury, but if the body fails to shut off the inflammation process, a more serious condition can occur.”

What types of serious conditions is Dr. Bailey talking about? The most serious condition is a heart attack. If you have never considered inflammation and a heart attack related, look at Dr. Bailey’s response to how inflammation can cause a heart attack.

“It is generally recognized that heart attacks occur when the blood vessels become clogged with ‘plaque’ (what we usually refer to as the bad LDL cholesterol) that is deposited on the vessel walls. This bad cholesterol also gets embedded inside arteries and our immune system ‘attacks’ it. Persistent inflammation in the arteries can eventually cause plaque to burst. Now many doctors use a simple blood test for inflammation called CRP (short for C-reactive Protein) to help assess a person’s cardiac risk. CRP is an index of inflammation in the arteries and the CRP increases as inflammation increases. For example, test have shown that middle aged men with high CRP levels in their blood were three times more likely to suffer a heart attack in the next 6 years than men with normal levels. Medical experts say that a CRP of 3.0 mg/L or higher triples your heart attack risk. People with CRP less than 0.5 mg/L rarely have heart attacks.”

How can we prevent heart attacks, fight inflammation, and lower our cholesterol all at the same time?

Most doctors will tell you diet and exercise are the best ways to lower cholesterol. However, does diet and exercise help fight inflammation? “According to the Center for Human Nutrition at Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, some foods can cause inflammation while others can decrease it. Diets that are rich in fruits and vegetables, and foods that offer lots of Omega-3 fatty acids (such as salmon, tuna, mackerel, and walnuts) are best. Further, a diet of such foods has been shown to be instrumental in weight reduction, and lowering CRP and insulin resistance.”

Since “chronic inflammation is the root cause of almost every disease” including heart attacks, we should take every measure possible to keep our bodies healthy and operating at peak performance. One way to keep your body operating efficiently and to also combat any germs and/or toxins that may exist inside your body is to drink TriVita’s Sonoran Bloom Nopalea on a daily basis.

Why? Because Sonoran Bloom Nopalea™ helps to fight inflammation naturally, through betalains, a very effective anti-inflammatory fighter which is found in the Nopal cactus, the key ingredient of Nopalea.

If it’s true what Hippocrates said many years ago, that “all disease is one”, and what doctors agree upon today, “chronic inflammation is the root cause of almost every disease”, and if the majority of diseases are in some way related to inflammation, germs and toxins, doesn’t it make sense to try TriVita’s Sonoran Bloom Nopalea™,

Do you suffer from an autoimmune disease, if you do, you are not alone. According to the US Department of Health and Human Services, there are over 80 autoimmune diseases, affecting millions of people, dishing out such mayhem as rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, lupus, type 1 diabetes and many more.

Let’s start with understanding autoimmune dysfunction

Our immune system, is intended to protect us from illness and harmful substances called antigens. Normally, the immune system in response to antigens such as bacteria, viruses and toxins, produces antibodies that affix themselves to the antigens, ultimately destroying them and removing them from the body. Characteristics of a autoimmune disorder is when the immune system cannot differentiate antigens from normal cells. As a result, turns on itself trying to annihilate normal healthy tissue.

In alliance with our immune system is inflammation.

Inflammation fights side by side in defense by warding off such bad guys as germs and toxins. When the enemy shows up such as viruses or parasites inflammation attacks the trespassers and surrounds tissue that may have been debilitated or infected. It then subsides so the healing can begin. As defiant a soldier inflammation can be, it too can also spin out of balance by not getting the proper message from the commanding officer to stop the fight; not shutting off!

Such an aggressive defense team interwoven so carefully together for our good, can and does sometimes lead to the declaration of war as the body turns on itself assaulting normal healthy muscles and tissue. This in turn continually sounds the alarm for inflammation to continue the attack becoming ongoing and excessive!
