What is BMI?
Body Mass Index (BMI) most people have heard about it, but very
few people know what it really means. BMI is a number calculated from
a persons weight and height. It is considered by many healthcare profes-
sionals to be a reliable indicator of body fat for people. And, its also an
inexpensive and easy-to-perform screening tool that may help indicate
possible weight-related health problems.
How BMI is used
BMI is a measurement tool, not a diagnostic one. Just because you have a
high BMI doesnt necessarily mean you should be alarmed. To determine
if excess weight is a health risk, a healthcare professional may use other
assessments, including:
Skinfold thickness
Diet
Level of physical activity
Family history and other appropriate health screenings.
Calculating BMI is easy
With BMI, you dont need to be a math genius to quickly assess weight
and obesity. You only need to calculate height and weight. This makes
it an inexpensive and easy tool for clinicians and the general public.
Use the following chart to fnd your BMI:
BMI reliability as an indicator of body fat
The relationship between the BMI number and body fat is fairly
strong; however the correlation varies by sex, race and age. Look for
these variations:
At the same BMI, women tend to have more body fat then men
At the same BMI, older people on average have more body fat than
younger adults
Highly trained athletes have a high BMI because of increased
muscularity, instead of increased body fat.
Higher BMI = higher disease risk
Statistics clearly indicate that higher BMI reading often means obesity.
Obesity also increases your risk of getting a disease. So, by lowering your
BMI readings you will improve your chances for good health.
If your BMI is between 25 and 30, you should seek ways to lower BMI using
diet and exercise.
A BMI reading over 30 indicates an unhealthy condition. You may be
at risk for serious medical problems. A change in your diet and exercise
program is strongly encouraged.
* Ideal Body Weight is based on mathematics and may vary for individuals based on
muscle mass and/or other factors.

Heres another good reason to pay attention to your BMI
A comprehensive study indicates that abdominal fat boosts dementia risk
According to a large study, a potbelly in middle age more than triples the risk
of senility decades later. The connection between obesity and cognitive decline
has been studied for years. Researchers with the Kaiser Permanente Division
of Research in Oakland, CA recently reported that people who were fatter in
middle age were as much as 74% more likely to develop dementia when they
became senior citizens.
This study looked specifcally at belly fat, to see if it was a risk factor for people
who were not otherwise considered overweight. The study examined 6,583
Kaiser Permanente healthcare plan members between the ages of 40 and 45
who had their abdominal fat measured in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The
researchers recently followed up to see what happened when these same people
reached their 70s and beyond.
Approximately 16% of those studied developed dementia. Researchers found
that obese people in their 40s with the most abdominal fat were 3.6 times more
likely to develop dementia than those with the least amount of abdominal fat.
Researchers also noted that the roots of dementia develop years before it
becomes obvious, so a positive change in belly fat now could create a big
beneft late in life.

Simple wayS
that can add years to
your life
Add One yeAr
Get a pet or if you have one, play with it
So many positive things happen when you
interact with your pet. Your blood pressure and
stress levels drop while your mood-boosting
hormone oxytocin rises.
A less stressed out heart is a healthy one. And
dog owners have an added advantage: they walk
more often and cover more distance. One study
found that heart attack victims who own dogs are
eight times more likely to survive an attack than
people without pet dogs.
Add TWO yeArS
Exercise
According to the Framingham Heart Study,
walking just 30 minutes a day can lengthen your
life. Regular exercise helps you burn calories and
maintain a healthy weight. It also helps protect
against everything from type 2 diabetes and heart
disease to high blood pressure and stroke.
Weight training two to three times a week
can also be an important part of your exercise
regimen. Your muscles and bones weaken with
age; weight lifting can help reverse this and keep
you strong well into your 80s and 90s.
Add THree yeArS
Lose weight
Your body mass index (BMI) measures body
fat based on height and weight. It may also
affect how long you live. Being overweight
(a BMI of 25 to 29.9) can take three years off your
life. Being obese (a BMI of 30 or higher) may cost
you seven years. Those extra pounds
could raise your risk of heart disease, diabetes,
high blood pressure and other life-shortening
diseases. A BMI range of 18.5 to 24.9 is con-
sidered healthiest. See our chart on page 12
to calculate your healthy weight.
Add SIx yeArS
Floss regularly
The very same bacteria that cause periodontal
diseases such as gingivitis also trigger an immune
response that can cause arteries to swell, which
constricts blood fow and increases plaque depos-
its. It also may increase your risk of cardiovascular
disease. Routine daily fossing combined with
regular brushing after meals, will help protect
against these problems.
Add SeVen yeArS
Positive outlook
According to Yale University researchers, an
optimistic attitude increases life span by at least
7.5 years. Thats because a positive outlook boosts
your bodys immune system, which allows it to
better handle the destructive effects of stress. So,
it makes sense to keep looking on the brighter
side of life.
Add eIgHT yeArS
Stop smoking
Research shows that smokers who quit by age 35
live about six to eight years longer than people
who continue smoking. Kicking the smoking
habit lowers your risk of developing many deadly
conditions, including lung cancer, heart disease,
stroke, chronic bronchitis and emphysema.
Remember, while you may have limited control
over your genetics, you have lots of control over
different lifestyle choices that can add years to
your life and life to your years.
There are 108 boys born in the USA for every 100
girls. Yet, by age 5 the numbers are about even for
boys and girls. By age 65 the numbers are signif-
cantly different: 235 women for every 100 men.
There are several causes of this disparity. The frst
is genetic.
That pesky y chromosome!
Genetically, men have one X chromosome and
one Y chromosome. Women, meanwhile, have
just two X chromosomes. These chromosomes
are literally shaped like Xs and Ys. If you look at
the X and Y shapes, you can see the Y is missing a
leg when compared to the X. As a result, women
have eight regions of genetic material to rely on,
but men have only seven. The gene pool that helps
a body resist disease is smaller for men than for
women. And the smaller size also means that men
have a lower number of disease-protecting genes
in total.
So, men need to take better care of themselves,
and not neglect the gifts of life and health.
Beyond genetics other risks for men
Risky lifestyle
When we look at health risks, men tend to engage
in more risky, dangerous behaviors and generally
live more hazardous lives than women. Men tend
to smoke more, drink more and dont wear their
seatbelts as often.
Poor diet
Men also eat fewer vegetables. Yet, men need the
nutrients and antioxidants from fruits and vegeta-
bles even more than women. Why? Because men
tend to be bigger. The average man needs nine
servings of vegetables and fruit every day to pro-
vide the antioxidants necessary to reduce disease.
If you are bigger than average, you need even more
fruits and vegetables.
Lung cancer
The most prevalent form of lethal cancer in men
and women is lung cancer, which is primarily
caused by smoking. To help prevent this type of
cancer, stop smoking.
Colon and prostate cancer
These two cancers are the second and third
leading causes of death by cancer in men. They
kill roughly 40,000 men in the U.S. every year.
Leading physicians and health policy experts tell
us that these deaths are mostly preventable. Thats
because the incidence of colon cancer is reduced
in those who routinely eat a high fber diet or take
a fber supplement daily. This is another reason to
eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. Besides all the
antioxidants, they are also very high in fber.
Obstructive sleep apnea
Another killer of men is sleep apnea. Obstructive
sleep apnea (OSA) kills nearly as many men as
does colon cancer and prostate cancer just under
40,000 per year.
Obstructive sleep apnea often occurs in conjunc-
tion with obesity. The more obese a person is, the
more likely they are to have OSA. You can tell
if a person is at risk for OSA because they snore
loudly. Many heart attacks and strokes that occur
during sleep are caused by OSA. It is also the most
common trigger in congestive heart failure.
Over 60 years of accumulated data clearly indicates
that proper lifestyle choices are the best remedy
against early death and disability in men.
Genetics are a two-way street. Men defnitely
have a genetic disadvantage compared to women.
But, this doesnt have to mean an early death
sentence. Knowledge is very empowering. By
making proper lifestyle choices and following
TriVitas 10 Essentials for Health and Wellness,
men can live longer, healthier lives, too.

Everyone has experienced loneliness at one time or another; whether it
was loss of a loved one through death or divorce or simply a feeling of
loss when the kids move away. Loneliness is a state of mind and a part of
everyday living, times when you may feel abandoned, dejected or simply
lost. Being alone on the other hand is a state of being of being solitary
or independent on your own. Its important to realize that just because
you are alone, it doesnt mean you must be lonely or lonesome.
Just as a wound takes time to heal, the emotional pain felt by someone
who has experienced a loss may be felt for a long time. While it is true
that you may always miss the person or the thing that was lost, it doesnt
mean that you must suffer permanent loneliness. Many times, older men
who are retired are less likely to have close friends and are thrown into
despair after losing their spouse. It may be harder for them to connect
with the outside world when their whole life has been wrapped around
that person. The same could go for many older women who find them-
selves alone and feeling lonely because they have spent much of their
adult lives caring for others. If you are in one of these positions, being
patient with your emotional healing and remaining hopeful enables you
to learn to move ahead.
Build a timetable
Learning to schedule your time is crucial when it comes to being alone.
Buy a journal and make lots of notes in it. Write down your feelings, your
dreams and desires. Give yourself some short and long-term goals. This
helps you put a method to the madness.
You may go through a transition stage before youre ready to adapt to
the new you, but there is support out there. In time, you will evolve,
and youll find you can be very comfortable in your own skin with or
without anyone around.
dont worry about the what ifs
Interestingly enough, there is an increasing trend toward single living
in adults of all ages. Whether youre widowed, divorced, or single, there is
available support for you. Youll need to keep reminding yourself that you
have the energy, enthusiasm and interest to give and to receive. While it
may not be easy, you will go on to thrive once again. Keep in mind that
God is with you all the time. You may ask yourself, What if Im alone
the rest of my life? What if this pain Im feeling never goes away?
What if, what if, what if?... You may not ever be able to answer all the
what ifs in life, but knowing that God is with you all the time assures
you that He has all the answers youll ever need.

Although Fathers Day
was June 15th this
year, and most likely
passed by the time you
received this months
VitaJournal, I couldnt
let the month go by
without acknowledging
fathers across North
America. Father,
Dad, Daddy, Pop
these are words many of us may have used at one
time or another regarding our fathers. I know in
my own life, I called mine Daddy up until he
passed away. Even as an adult, I was always
Daddys little girl.
Growing up in a home with loving parents is
something I am very thankful for, and yet I
realize thats not always the case for many. There
are many people who never knew their father or
if they did, they might prefer they never knew
him. Ive heard horror stories about men and
women who were physically, emotionally or
sexually abused by their fathers. My heart goes
out to them, as I couldnt imagine my own father
doing anything that would be hurtful to me or
my siblings.
With all the broken homes that exist in our day
and time, there are many offspring, especially
girls, who wind up seeking out male approval
their entire lives, simply because they didnt
receive it from their own father. This is very sad,
and you often see these women migrating from
relationship to relationship simply to fnd that
one man who approves of them and makes them
feel special. The really sad part is that approval
from another human being is never going to be
suffcient. People are just that human and
they will always let you down.
The only approval that matters is
gods approval
Yes, its awesome to have a loving earthly father,
but for those who dont, I offer hope in sharing
with you the love of the Heavenly Father. I am
reminded of the scripture in Matthew 7:11
If you then, being evil, know how to give good
gifts to your children, how much more will
your Father who is in heaven give good things
to those who ask Him! So many people picture
God sitting in heaven distant, angry and ready

to smote them with a big lightning rod. This
perception has been misrepresented over the
centuries, distorting Gods true image. The Bible
says that God is love pure love. He wants to
lavish His love on you, not because you deserve
it, but just because He made you.
Connect with your Heavenly Father
You may have had or currently have a
wonderful relationship with your father, and
if he is still alive, this is wonderful news! Along
with a relationship with God, nurturing family
relationships is important to your health
physically, emotionally and spiritually. If youve
either lost a father or never knew yours, I
encourage you to reach out to your Heavenly
Father and establish or re-establish a relationship
with Him. There is nothing except a personal
relationship with God that can fill the void of
love and acceptance that we are all born with.
This month, we honor fathers across North
America, but in doing so, I also ask
that you seek your Heavenly Father, for
He is standing there with open arms ready
to receive you just the way you are. His
unconditional love is yours for the asking.

Broccoli: The king of vegetables! This member of the cabbage family is
bursting with healthful nutrients that have been shown to help protect
against everything from cancer to heart disease. A recent study even
suggested that broccoli may help boost aging immune systems. And,
broccoli may help lower the possibility of prostate cancer, especially
when eaten with tomatoes.
Broccoli is a rich source of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and fber. But,
if you overcook it, you wont get the health benefts; overcooking can
leach the nutrients right out of it. A study in the Journal of the Science
of Food and Agriculture found that steaming broccoli is the best way to
preserve its nutrients; microwaving is the worst way to prepare it.
Broccoli was developed from wild cabbage in ancient Roman times.
it made its way to the u.s. in colonial times, brought over by italian
immigrants. However, its popularity didnt really start to grow until
the 1970s. By 2005, Americans were eating 5.6 pounds of broccoli per
capita every year!
when choosing broccoli at the store or farmers market, look for frm
stalks and forets that are tightly closed and green.
Probably the only bad thing youll hear about broccoli is that it can be
odiferous when cooked. But dont let that deter you from enjoying this
health-enhancing, delicious treat!

Our environment means everything to us its
the land we live on, the air we breathe and the
water we drink. Think of it this way the earth is
like a spaceship, traveling through the universe,
with its own self-contained environment. Now, if
we ruin that environment, were stuck with the
damage weve done. Thats why we must all take
personal responsibility for the environment.
The good news is that all of us can do
something to improve it. Many waste materials
are renewable, which means they can be used
again. For example, we can recycle bottles, cans
and other items. Cardboard and paper are also
recyclable. This means that fewer trees are
needed to make paper products.
Plant waste in gardens can be saved in a wood
or wire frame or a plastic bin. It eventually will
decompose and then be used as compost to help
fertilize new plants.
Here are other ways to help create a
cleaner environment:
In THe HOMe
Clean or replace air flters in your
home monthly
Lower the thermostat on your water
heater to 120 degrees
Turn off lights even when leaving a
room for a short time
Set your refrigerator temperature at 36

Clean the lint flter in your dryer after every
load so it uses less energy
Use a microwave whenever you can instead
of a conventional oven or stove
Wash clothes with warm or cold water
instead of hot
Use compact fuorescent light bulbs to save
money and energy
In THe yArd
Use an electric lawn mower instead of a
gas-powered one
Leave grass clippings on the yard they
decompose and return nutrients to the soil
Minimize pesticide use and use a minimal
amount of fertilizer
Water grass early in the morning instead of
later in the day
prOTeCT THe AIr
Lower your freplaces air pollution by using
seasoned wood (it burns cleaner than
green wood)
Dont use your wood stove or freplace
when air quality is poor
Use less gasoline by purchasing radial tires
and keeping them properly infated
Also, join a carpool or vanpool to get
to work

my energy level increased, my sharp
memory returned and the dizziness
went away.
I was diagnosed with severe anemia and my
hemoglobin count was very low at 9.0. I felt dizzy,
foggy and did not have the energy to make it
through the day. I was wondering, Where has my
elephant memory gone? Whats happening to me?
One day, I did an online search for new solutions and
I found TriVitas website. I was impressed by what I
saw. I ordered two boxes of TriVita Sublingual
B-12 immediately. The product arrived just three
days after I placed the order. It was well packed and
I was impressed with the customer service and the
fast shipping. After I started taking the product back
in October 2007, I noticed my energy level increased,
my sharp memory returned and the dizziness went
away. My hemoglobin count is up to 11.6 and I
expect that count will soon rise to the normal fgure
of 12 as long as I keep taking TriVita Sublingual B-12.
Thanks TriVita, I love your product, and I strongly
recommend that everyone should add Sublingual
B-12 to his or her daily vitamin intake.

energy now! is the reason i can do what
i can do.
Ive had chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) for over
twenty years. I went to every doctor and tried every
medication in the world trying to fnd relief, and
nothing worked. I kept trying to fnd something to
help me through the day.
Then I saw one of your TV programs and got
TriVitas Two-Step Energy System, including
Sublingual B-12 and Energy Now!. Im 62 years
old and care for my mother. With CFS, I have weak-
ness, pain in all of my joints and very little stamina.
On bad days I also have blurred vision, mental fog,
and Im so weak I cant hold up a paperback book.
Energy Now! is the reason I can do what I can do. It
gives me energy and stamina. I just thank God for
it. I take two in the morning and another one a little
after lunch. But Id tell anyone to play it by ear and
adjust individually-sometimes Id need just one in
the morning or Id have to take two in the afternoon.
But I want everyone with chronic fatigue to know
that Energy Now! really helps me.

now that i take trivita sublingual B-12 the
trembling has left me, and i get up bouncing!
For years I had sufered with a weak trembling plus
soreness in my back each morning. Now that I take
TriVita Sublingual B-12 the trembling has left me,
and I get up bouncing! I am alert and ready to take
on any chores. Im the oldest person in my apart-
ment complex, and I fnd myself helping the other
residents. I am 89 years old, live on my own and do
all of my own cleaning. My friends and neighbors
are amazed that I never have colds and other health
problems. I have the energy to write history books
by hand. I wrote my frst book in 1982; it was on my
family history. Im working on my ffth book now. I
havent slowed down! My 72 year old daughter has
begun taking Sublingual B-12, too. I have noticed
that both her strength and attitude have changed
for the better.

i have lost a lot of body fat and feel
more energetic.
I decided to try Leanology after attempting other
diets which didnt work for me. I wasnt focused
enough to follow any one diet.
I found that Leanology shakes keep me fully satisfed
for 3 to 4 hours. I also like the taste of the Leanology
shakes and spice them up with frozen strawberries and other fruits. I take
the Leanology capsules along with my meal or snack. My body shape is more
defned and my clothes ft better.
I have lost a lot of body fat and feel more energetic. My wife has also had a lot
of success with Leanology.

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
cholesterol did go down, but so did the good choles-
terol, and my triglycerides didnt change at all. I did a
little online research and decided that I wasnt comfort-
able taking any statins, so I asked my doctor if I could stop the Lipitor. He then
suggested I take fsh oil to help control my cholesterol. So thats when I tried
TriVita 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 choles-
terol 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

Jeff and Joan reside in Long Island, New York. He
is 81 years old, shes 75, and theyve been married for
57 years. Back in the late 1940s, the couple was into
competitive roller skating, which is more accurately
described as skate dancing. As a result, they perform
many of the same moves that are commonly seen in
ballroom dancing but theyre doing so on skates.
After getting married and taking over forty years off
to raise a family, the couple started talking one day and
began wondering if they could still skate as a couple.
It wasnt long before they walked into a rink and were
shocked to fnd that people were still skate dancing.
So they strapped up their skates, hit the foor, and were
pleased to fnd they could basically still perform a lot
of their old moves. But we were out of style, older and
didnt have any stamina. At frst I just attributed it to
the fact that we were out of practice and much older,
but it wasnt long until we realized we were really lacking
energy, explained Joan. Jeff and Joan were also pleased to
fnd some of the same skaters they had competed with as
kids. And it wasnt long until they were happily reunited
with their original coach, Millie, who is now 93.
Joan discovered TriVita about four years ago when
watching TV. She says they werent feeling that well at
the time and were struggling with getting all the way
through their workouts. So she placed an order for
Sublingual B-12 and began experiencing a noticeable
boost of energy and stamina in the frst few days. I have
to tell you that within one week of being on Sublingual
B-12, I felt as if I had never taken my skates off. It was the
most fantastic feeling, but it wasnt like speed. It was a
lasting feeling of stamina and being strong again, she
proclaimed. So then we decided that we would try and
compete again in the seniors division. The other couples
had surprising amounts of stamina, so it was real work,
like a job, to get back to
that level. It took us
about a year, but we
qualifed and were able to
compete again. And we ended
up making it to the nationals a
couple of times and winning some contests!
The couple usually attends skating practice
three days per week. When asked about their
practice sessions, Joan explains that their
practice sessions typically last about three
hours. The instruction portion with their
coach lasts for about 90 minutes. Then they
go directly into a free-skate session, which
typically lasts for another 90 minutes.
Thats three hours of non-stop physical
activity and exercise!
Now I dont go anywhere without Sublingual
B-12, Joan said. And the addition of Adaptogen
10 Plus has been a tremendous gift. I have pretty
bad knees, but once I get going on my skates, I
loosen up and feel just fne. This powerful combina-
tion of products has absolutely helped me to keep
going strong all the way through the end of our routines.
For Jeff and Joan, skate dancing is much more than
just a fun way to socialize with like-minded people
their own age. Nowadays, its actually more about
staying active and getting the type of exercise that
makes them feel energetic and young again. For
example, they lost a combined 84 pounds after adding
Sublingual B-12 to their regimen. TriVita is honored
to know that we have helped this couple continue
with a sport theyve loved for a lifetime.
