7 Ways to Boost Your Energy

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

Fatigue is one of the biggest problems of modern life, but we’re trying to fix that problem in all the wrong ways.

Trying to “get” or “find” energy is like trying to grab a fistful of water. If you want water (energy) to sit in your hand, you have to first create the conditions under which it’s possible — in the case of water, keeping your fingers tightly together and your hand cupped while open will do the trick — but trying to grab the water will not. It’s the same thing with energy.

Energy isn’t something you get or grab, but rather the by-product of certain conditions that allow it to show up in your life. If your health and attitude and body and mind are all aligned in the right way, there’s nothing else for you to do but to feel energized. It’s the natural “side-effect” of a healthy life — it just comes with the territory.Let’s say you were a swimmer wearing a weight belt and you wanted to increase your time in the 50-yard freestyle. You could spend a lot of effort researching the latest titanium high-tech bathing suit — which might add a second or two to your time — but wouldn’t it be a lot more effective to simply drop the weight belt?

Most of us are carrying around weight belts and looking to increase our energy with coffee and stimulants when in fact if we just dropped the weight belt we’d automatically go faster.

Some of the items on our weight belt are: too little sleep, disorganization, toxic relationships, high-carb diets, undetected food sensitivities, and all sorts of other facts of modern life that I discuss in detail in my book, The 150 Most Effective Ways to Boost Your Energy. In this article I’m going to suggest seven ways to help drop the weight belt from your energy tank. Do them and you may be surprised at what a boost in energy they give you.

1. Support your liver. You can help your liver do its job more effectively — and boost your energy in the bargain — by taking a daily dose of an herb called milk thistle. I consider the liver to be the most misunderstood and under-appreciated organ in the human body, because when it’s not working right, the first thing to suffer is your energy. Giving the liver all the nutrients it needs to perform its daily tasks is one of the most important things you can do to boost your energy.
2. Get ten minutes of sun every day. “The sun gives you strength, lifts your spirits and is a source of energy”, says my friend Al Sears, MD, author of Your Best Health Under the Sun. Like a growing body of health experts, Sears thinks we’ve become so sun phobic that we’re missing out on the myriad mood-boosting and energy-enhancing benefits that vitamin D, the sunshine vitamin has to offer.
3. Disconnect for a day. One of the great energy drainers of the 21st century is information overload. We’re deluged with stuff coming at us from emails, RSS feeds, blogs, social networking sites, TV, magazines, radio, fax machines, Blackberries… you get the picture. Knowledge may be power, but information overload is just… well, noise. Try a media-free day and feel your own energy accumulate — rather than dissipate as you attend to millions of distractions. Most of the chatter, when you think about it, won’t make much difference in the long run anyway. (If you find the idea of disconnecting for a day a frightening thought, you are exactly the person who needs to do it the most!)
4. Try the “No-Frills, No-Excuses, Anytime-Anywhere” workout. We all know that exercise helps with energy — at least I hope we do — but when it comes to working out, time remains a big obstacle for many people. Here’s my own “no excuses” lo-tech workout that you can do just about anywhere in as little as 15 or 20 minutes for an amazing boost in energy: 1) run a mile, 2) do some squats, 3) do some push-ups, 4) do some crunches. Stretch and go about your business refreshed and energized. And if you can’t go out and run the mile, do some jumping jacks in your office, or run the stairs.
5. Revive your “qi”. Acupuncture is based on the precepts of traditional Chinese Medicine that says the body and mind are inextricably linked; that vital energy, or qi, regulates a person’s spiritual, mental and physical health; that each of us is a delicate balance of opposing and inseparable forces called yin and yang — and when that balance is disrupted, vital energy becomes blocked or weakened. When our qi (energy) is at optimal levels and flowing smoothly, we’re ready to take on the world. Spiritually, emotionally, mentally and physically we’re strong, healthy and energized. One terrific way to balance that energy is through acupuncture.
6. De-clutter and deep-six the energy drain. Here’s a rule I’ve found to be a universal truth: your energy has a perfect inverse relationship to the accumulation of stuff you don’t need. The more unwanted, unused, unneeded stuff you have cluttering up your life, the less energy you have. Believe it or not, the condition of your desk (and desktop) and office and living space actually reflects a lot of what’s going on in your head. If you take time to organize and de-clutter, you’ll actually be freeing up a lot of psychic space, and that can really turbo-charge your energy.
7. Take the right supplements. While supplements don’t really “give” you energy, they can correct metabolic issues that are draining it. They can also speed along certain pathways that are nutrient-dependent and that get sluggish (and energy draining) when those nutrients are in short supply. One terrific energizing nutrient is coenzyme Q10. It helps transform fats and sugars into energy and is a potent antioxidant.

Hemorrhoids are a terrible thing to have and after you understand that they are a disease of civilization and that an effective hemorrhoid home treatment is readily available you will wonder why you hadn’t heard about all of this before.

Unfortunately money drives our health care system and these simple home treatments don’t produce income. The common treatments also don’t produce a permanent cure, the hemorrhoids keep coming back. No one has told you that the best treatment is prevention, and, they haven’t told you how to prevent hemorrhoids or that home treatment is simple and effective.

But now home treatments are gaining favor as people are hearing about them. Since there is no quick cure in most common treatments, people are willing to take a shot at it at home. Here are three treatments that you should try.

Simple Hemorrhoid Home Treatment

1. Sitz Bath, you sit in a tub of warm water with a cup or two of Epsom Salts mixed in (keep the water as shallow as you can so the salts are not diluted). Sit knees to chest to avoid pressure on the anal area and to allow your cheeks to open and allow the cleansing and treatment to reach the area. Stay for 15 to 20 minutes and repeat 2 to 3 times per day. Sitz Bath will relax your muscles and improve the cirulation around the anus. This increased circulation is key in healing and preventing future hemorrhoids.
2. Witch Hazel has been used through the past several centuries to heal various ailments including hemorrhoids. Witch Hazel is an astringent, meaning it will shrink the hemorrhoids. You can use it as often as you like. One way to apply it is to pour it on your toilet paper and help clean yourself with it. It should also be applied again after you are clean.
3. Chinese remedies, whereas Sitz Bath and Witch Hazel are easily available in any drug store, Chinese remedies are a little harder to find, you also need to find the recipes. If your hemorrhoids resist some of the easier remedies then Chinese remedies will probably hold your answer as they are some of the most potent of remedies.

A hemorrhoid home treatment is inexpensive and effective, you do it all at home. You also quickly come to a treatment that works best for you without spending hundreds or thousands of dollars at the drug store and perhaps on surgical procedures.

Hemorrhoids Home Treatment: Find alternative hemorrhoid cures all the way from Sitz Bath and Witch Hazel, to the onion and garlic cure, to centuries old Chinese herbal treatments. You will also learn how Holly Hayden cured her hemorrhoids with natural means and now has helped thousands with her information.

Ovarian cysts hurt, they can ruin your life. Because of this, going to the doctor doesn’t put you in the most objective frame of mind — you just want an answer. The trouble is many treatments just cover up the symptoms. This only leaves you a little better off. Ovarian cysts are something every woman faces at some point in her life so women need to understand what works and what the options are.

If you go to the doctor with the symptoms he will run tests and perhaps look at your ovaries with ultrasound to find out if you have cysts or not. If you have them it is time to choose whether to surgically remove them or do nothing and wait to see what happens. Often cysts will go away on their own, the bodies natural mechanisms will remove them with no medical interference.

On the other hand your doctor may describe birth control pills, in other words a hormone dose to try to clear up the cysts. The other method is surgery. These methods do not get to the underlying causes, they only mask them. Many times after these approaches are tried, the cysts come back. This is why many women look to natural treatments to clear their ovarian cysts.

Natural treatments and methods are real and have long been used to treat ovarian cysts and keep them from returning. These methods work best because you are different from other women, and the natural methods gives your body what it needs to handle your cysts. These natural methods are done at home and instead of masking the underlying causes of the cysts they actually eliminate the causes and truly end the problem.

As a woman one of the best things to do is learn something about the natural treatment of ovarian cysts. What we are looking at here could be a simple change in diet. If you don’t have the cysts now, then these diet changes may prevent you from ever having them. Other natural treatment methods are long warm baths and stress reduction techniques. Yoga can help as well. There are many useful techniques that can help you.

If you are a woman in her child bearing years and are concerned about ovarian cysts and fertility, if you are trying to get pregnant, set your mind at ease. Begin to improve your diet, begin to reduce stress in your life, and do the things that prevent ovarian cysts. These same things will improve your overall health and help create a happier life all around.

Make the positive choices for a health lifestyle and enhanced happiness. I invite you to visit our website to learn more about natural treatment of ovarian cysts.

By changing lifestyle habits you can remove the need for repeated surgeries or hormone treatments by eliminating the causes of the cysts. http://ovariancystsignssymptoms.com/.

The writer and social critic, H.L. Mencken once wrote, “For every complicated problem there is a solution that is simple, direct, understandable and wrong.” 

Our ancestors believed that the stars rotated around the Earth. From our perspective, it made perfect sense. Of course, the idea was completely wrong. In fact, throughout history, people have believed ridiculous things. And we believed them so strongly you would have been persecuted for suggesting otherwise. 

So little has changed… 

Today’s gospel truth is that excess saturated fat in the diet clogs the arteries and causes heart disease. The only problem with this medical “fact” is that it isn’t a fact at all. It is a fraudulent and faulty hypothesis from the 1950s that has never been proven. 

I didn’t plan to write about this topic today. But I had to speak up when I saw the same article in four major publications this week. The headline: “Leading Surgeon Wants to Ban Butter.” 

Dr. Shyam Kolvekar, a heart surgeon at University College London Hospital, says that by the time he sees many of his patients, it is too late. Their hearts and cardiovascular system are too damaged for repair. He wants to stop heart disease before it starts by getting people to limit saturated fat in the diet. And to get the ball rolling, he suggests “banning butter.” 

Kolvekar is particularly worried that heart disease is growing rapidly in the younger population. “It’s because most kids start the day with some toast and butter,” he says. “Porridge is a much better alternative.” 

Why the butter and not the toast? Two slices of bread contain the equivalent carbohydrates of five teaspoons of sugar. And elevated blood sugar has been directly associated with heart disease. But more on that later… 

Dr. Kolvekar also suggests replacing natural butter with the industrially-processed, chemically-modified yellow-colored substance known as margarine. Great idea, doc! In the interest of disclosure, the Daily Mail notes that, “Dr. Kolvekar’s comments were issued by KTB, a public relations company that works for Unilever, the maker of Flora margarine.” 

Well, that might explain his motivations. But what about the veracity of his argument? And what can explain the last fifty years of propaganda against saturated fat? Is it really the villain it has been made out to be? 

I asked our own heart-health expert, Dr. Dwight Lundell, for his thoughts. Dr. Lundell knows the heart and cardiovascular system as well as anyone on the planet. During his 25-year career in medicine, he performed more than 5,000 open heart surgeries. And for much of that time, he toed the party line on saturated fat and cholesterol. But his own experience – and a closer review of the literature – caused him to reject the premise. He later wrote a book on the REAL causes of heart disease, which you can learn more about here. 

Dr. Lundell writes, “One wants their heart surgeon to be exacting. But, in the case of Dr. Shyam Kolvekar, who called for the banning of butter to prevent the epidemic of heart disease, he is exactly wrong!” 

According to Dr. Lundell, “The theory that saturated fat causes heart disease fails on many accounts.”  First, it is said that saturated fats raise cholesterol levels in the blood, and elevated cholesterol levels cause heart disease. 

Lundell points out that an article published in the American Heart Journal last year, showed that in an examination of 137,000 people admitted to the hospital with heart attack, 70% of them had normal blood cholesterol levels! 

It should also be noted that the long-running Framingham Heart Study showed that after the age of 50 (when 90% of all heart attacks occur), lower cholesterol levels are clearly associated with a shorter life expectancy. 

But let’s put cholesterol aside for a moment and discuss the purported mass killer, saturated fat. Certainly there must have been conclusive studies and solid evidence that kicked off the campaign against animal fat. Not quite. 

Ditch those tiresome aerobic workouts! They’re actually making your heart and lungs smaller – and increasing your risk of disease. And jumping around for 45 minutes to an hour or more is not helping you lose weight, either! 

PACE® proves once-and-for-all that a great body and vibrant health does NOT have to be difficult, time consuming or boring. You’re just seconds away from unleashing the killer body and disease-free life that only Dr. Sears’ PACE® program can give you… Click HERE. 

One of the first studies to implicate animal fat in heart disease came in the early 1900s. See if you can spot the flaws in this one. In 1908, Russian scientist, M.A. Ignatovsky fed protein-rich animal foods to a group of rabbits. He soon discovered that the rabbits developed arterial plaques and cardiovascular disease.  Researchers discovered that the same thing happens when chickens, guinea pigs and goats eat a high-fat diet. 

Later these studies were cited as evidence of a high-fat diet causing heart disease in humans. Hmm… let’s see. All of these animals are obligate herbivores. They evolved eating nothing but plants. They are clearly not designed to eat meat. When we feed them meat and fat it makes them sick. That makes perfect sense. What doesn’t make sense is why researchers extrapolated these results to omnivorous humans. 

The Fraud of Ancel Keys Kicks off the Lipid Hypothesis 

But the “lipid hypothesis” really gained traction in the 1950s, when physiologist Ancel Keys, Ph.D., published what became known as the Seven Countries Study. 

Keys presented a comparison of heart disease mortality and fat intake across seven different countries. His comparison showed a “remarkable relationship.” The countries with the highest fat intake had the highest levels of heart disease. The countries with the lowest fat intake had the lowest levels of heart disease. Those in the middle fell conveniently in between. 

At the time, Jacob Yerushalmy, a PhD statistician, at the University of California at Berkeley pointed out that we had data on the amount of fat consumed in 22 countries. So why wasn’t it called the 22 Country Study? 

It wasn’t called that, because Ancel Keys started with the conclusion. Then he cherry-picked the countries that matched his pre-conceived notion and threw out the ones that contradicted it. And most of them did! When all 22 countries were analyzed, the “remarkable relationship” remarkably disappeared. 

Furthermore, Keys established no causative basis. And he based his conclusions on only two phenomena – dietary fat and heart disease. This did not account for the possibility that something else could have caused the heart disease. 

It might seem hard to believe that this flawed and fraudulent study was the genesis of the entire animal-fat-causes-heart-disease movement. Certainly, in the last sixty years, there must be hundreds of controlled studies that prove the link, right? 

Not quite… there are NONE! 

What about the societies that consume a very high percentage of saturated fat in the diet – groups like the Maasai in Africa or the Inuits in the Arctic North? Do they show signs of heart disease? No, and in fact, quite the opposite is true. 

In the 1960s, Vanderbilt University scientist, George Mann, MD, studied the nomadic Maasai in Kenya and Tanzania. These populations consumed a very high saturated fat diet, including drinking the blood of their cattle. Yet they were not only lean and virtually free of heart disease, they also had some of the lowest cholesterol levels ever measured! 

Skeptical scientists argued that they must have some sort of hereditary protection. However, British researchers found that when Maasai men moved to the city and began to consume a modern diet, their cholesterol levels skyrocketed! 

In an editorial published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1977, Dr. Mann called the cholesterol theory of heart disease “the greatest scam in the history of medicine.” 

But let’s get back to those studies… or, more accurately, the lack of studies proving a link between saturated fat and heart disease. 

There have been about 30 long-term population studies that have attempted to link saturated fat to heart disease. Of those, only four have shown even the weakest association. And all four had major disqualifications: they were either too small to be significant, they did not isolate the variables properly, or they showed a slight decrease in heart deaths but an increase in death due to cancer. 

But population studies are notoriously unreliable anyway. The gold standard among health studies are controlled, randomized trials. And not a single study of this nature has ever shown definitive evidence that saturated-fat consumption leads to heart disease. In fact, many have shown the exact opposite! 

Authors of the MR-FIT trial were determined to prove the case. They enrolled 350,000 men, all of whom were considered at high risk of heart disease. In one set of participants, cholesterol consumption was reduced by 42%, saturated fat by 28%, and total calories by 21%. 

What happened? Nothing. The authors referred to the results as “disappointing,” stating that “The overall results do not show a beneficial effect on Coronary Heart Disease or total mortality from this multifactor intervention.” 

The Women’s Health Initiative was a huge government study, costing almost three quarters of a billion dollars. Among 20,000 women in the study who adhered to a diet low saturated fat diet for eight years, there was no reduction in the rates of heart-disease or stroke. 

Then there was the Cochrane Collaboration, in 2000. This group rigorously selected 27 low-fat and cholesterol-lowering trials to review (more than 200 trials were rejected). Their conclusion was that diets low in saturated fat have “no significant effect” on heart attack mortality. Lead researcher Lee Hooper, PhD, said “I was disappointed that we didn’t find something more definitive.” 

Or how about something more recent? 

This month, the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition published a review of 21 studies. The studies ranged from 5 to 23 years in length and encompassed 347,747 subjects. In the authors’ own words: “Intake of saturated fat was not associated with an increased risk of CHD, stroke, or CVD.” 

I could go on… and on… and on… but I’ll conclude with this. 

In 1988, U.S. Surgeon General’s office decided to end the confusion. They set out to finally prove the causal link between saturated fat and heart disease. After 11 years, the project was abandoned. The Surgeon General’s office stated that they, “did not anticipate fully the magnitude of the additional external expertise and staff resources that would be needed.” Sure! After more than a decade of trying, the government just “just didn’t have the resources.” 

Scientists and researchers are supposed to have an open mind. They are not supposed to be dogmatic and swayed by politics and peer pressure. But that is exactly what the majority of scientists and doctors have proven of themselves. It is not terribly surprising. Massive industries and shining scientific careers have been built on this faulty theory. 

If it were not so tragic, it would be funny to listen to them explain away contradictory findings and make excuses for why their studies don’t match their hoped-for conclusions. The most common excuses are that the “trial didn’t last long enough” or they “didn’t lower the saturated-fat intake enough.” It seems that option number three never crosses their mind… perhaps the entire hypothesis is wrong! 

Uffe Ravnskov, MD, PhD has called the saturated fat theory of heart disease “one of the greatest and most harmful misconceptions in the history of medicine.” Dr. George Mann called it the “public health diversion of the century.” 

And the problem is not just the wasted time and billions of dollars dedicated to an unscientific myth. The bigger problem is that undue focus on the saturated fat bugaboo has stolen attention from the REAL causes of heart disease. And perhaps even worse, is that many of the dietary recommendations to reduce heart disease have actually been shown to CAUSE heart disease (not to mention cancer, diabetes and obesity). 

If you truly want to protect yourself from the nation’s number one killer, don’t smoke and reduce your stress levels. At least the medical authorities have gotten those two right. And when it comes to your diet, forget about saturated fat and cholesterol. Here is what you should do instead: 

• Consume more monounsaturated fats from sources like olive oil, nuts, avocados and avocado oil
• Cut out the sugar and refined carbohydrates
• Consume more omega-3 fatty acids, from wild game, grass-fed beef and bison, sardines and wild (not farm-raised) salmon. And take an omega-3 fish oil supplement.
• And reduce as much as possible omega-6 fatty acids in your diet. These come primarily from conventionally raised meats, processed foods, fried foods and vegetable and seed oils (corn, soybean, sunflower, cottonseed, etc.)

Anxiety attacks or panic attacks are some of the most misunderstood conditions. Often people shut themselves away because they also develop a social phobia. Sufferers are often accused of faking the condition because it makes no sense to many around them. This is especially true if the condition has lasted over months or years.

If you suffer anxiety attacks or you are close to someone who does then perhaps you are confused about all of the treatment options. Maybe you have tried various things and yet the problem persists and you don’t know where to turn. With therapy, drugs, and medication behind you perhaps it’s time to turn to a natural cure.

Anxiety attacks can ruin your life, it is an emotional roller coaster. The attacks can cause physical symptoms, physical pain, high blood pressure, tingling sensations, pounding heart, and even heart palpitations. The longer the problem persists the worse it may get you may even fear dying.

The natural approach to anxiety attacks asks you to look at where your fears are coming from, finding what causes panic. What do you think about, what are you doing when they come. Can you find common triggers for the attacks, can you notice when the attacks begin and what is going through your mind as they begin? It also involves learning not to fear the attacks. Regardless of what your mind is telling you, you are perfectly safe and you need to program yourself to remember that in the midst of your attack.

There may be several triggers for your attacks – have problems backed up at work, is something causing you to feel overwhelmed? Are their people you don’t want to face? These things can lead to worry and trigger an anxiety attack.

Worry solves nothing and most of the time the thing you worry about never happens anyway. Worry usually shuts people down and shutting down means any potential problems are not being addressed. Sitting idly by and torturing yourself with your mind will not change anything. To change anything you have to take action. Take note of what’s going on and how it makes you feel but realize that if there is a real issue behind things you will need to do something to fix it.

Finding an anxiety cure that is right for you possibly means trying different methods until you find one that works. That said, you can save a lot of time by doing research and see what effective treatments are working for others, what different methods work to cure panic anxiety attacks.

I invite you to learn more about an anxiety cure and how to stop anxiety panic attacks (it is not always the logical process that we expect).

Hemorrhoids are simply bulging blood vessels around the anus sounds simple but with the work that part of the body does in eliminating waste it is a terrible place to have to treat something.

>> A Natural Hemorrhoid Cure

The best way to deal with hemorrhoids long term is to change your life style a bit.  Most people with hemorrhoids have some sort of constipation problem that causes them to strain when using the toilet.  Adding fiber to the diet is the best way to deal with that.

Still you must deal with what you are facing now with the disease and so we present this article with some information to help you get started dealing with your hemorrhoids.

Hemorrhoids Home Treatment – 3 Ways to Prevent and Cure Hemorrhoids

By Renee Pullman

There are few diseases that are more embarrassing than hemorrhoids. The pain, the smell, and the ick: but it doesn’t have to be that way.

Hemorrhoids come because of strain on the blood vessels around the anus. This can happen during pregnancy, heavy lifting, during a time of constipation, or it can be a chronic condition.

For most sufferers, and we are told that nearly 50% of the adult population will get hemorrhoids at some time, hemorrhoids will come and go without major symptoms. For others it is not so easy – perhaps they will not treat the hemorrhoids soon enough and they will become serious – pain, bleeding, and anal leakage. Embarrassment enters in and the suffering becomes not only physical but emotional. The sufferer may feel he cannot properly clean himself and avoid company.

Always seek medical advice, but here are some tips for you. Practice these early and nip hemorrhoids in the bud.

1. If you are having trouble cleaning yourself, use Witch Hazel and pour a little on your toilet paper. This will not only help clean but Witch Hazel is an astringent which means it will help shrink the hemorrhoids. Witch Hazel is available for a couple of bucks at almost all pharmacy’s.
2. Sitz Baths – get some Epsom Salts and dissolve 2 cups in a shallow bath of warm water (there are also attachments for your toilet). Sit in the water with your knees up to your chest so that your buttocks open and allow the water to soothe the hemorrhoids. Soak 10 to 20 minutes several times a day.
3. Increase fiber in your diet. This means vegetables and fruits – there is no better source. Begin by adding a red apple a day. There is not a truer saying than “an apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Apples are a great source not only of fiber but also of the kinds of nutrients that will reinforce the blood vessels all over your body. The fiber will soften the stools, the nutrition will strengthen the vessels around the anus.

Remember to keep the area dry and clean and get that fiber up. Civilization has brought on many medical conditions in our lives and hemorrhoids is just one. Adding fiber and nutrients back into your diet goes a long way toward prevention of this painful, depressing condition. Seek your doctor’s advice but effective home treatment of hemorrhoids is possible and is done all the time.

Get hemorrhoids out of your life with effective hemorrhoids home treatment. Take action at the earliest symptoms and avoid the pain and embarrassment that hemorrhoid sufferers endure. Visit http://www.NaturalHemorrhoidTreatment.org for more tips and information to cure your hemorrhoids.

B12 is well known for boosting energy.  In fact, B12 works quickly and usually provides a rapid increase in energy.   Stories abound of the rich and famous getting injections from their favorite doctors.   These injections are expensive and unneeded for most people. Today there are excellent supplements available over the counter that can be dissolved under the tongue (sublingual) that can provide the supplementation and energy boost that you need.

Vitamin B12 has a solid reputation for boosting energy levels. It is responsible for building up red blood cells, it’s used in making DNA, and for releasing the energy contained in food.  Most people take in the B12 they need in animal protean, fish, eggs, and milk – the body also manufactures it.  But some have issues in achieving proper levels of B12 and a supplement can be a God-send.

Many give good reports to B12 including some chronic fatigue sufferers.   Teamed up with melatonin vitamin B12 may also benefit you If you have trouble sleeping – and B12 is a co-factor in melatonin production.

The Mayo Clinic says, “Inability to absorb vitamin B12 from the intestinal tract can be caused by a disease known as pernicious anemia.”  Pernicious anemia is most likely to develop over the age of 40. They go on to say that people on a vegetarian diet may also have B12 deficiency.

A B12 deficiency can affect both men and women and is more pronounced above the age of 40.  Deficiency can cause fatigue, apathy, weight loss, balance problems, bone loss, back pain, tingling extremities, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), eye problems, headaches, and general low energy.

So How Much B12 Should I Take?

The U.S RDA for B12 is 2.5mcg but many investigators say you must take at least 200 times that amount to gain the benefit, that’s 500mcg.  Happily that dosage and higher doses of vitamin B12 are available in the vitamin sections of most pharmacies.

No adverse effects from high doses of B12 have been seen and even doses of 2500mcg (as of this writing $5.00 for a bottle of 60 at Walmart) are apparently safe.  Check with your doctor and enjoy the many benefits of vitamin B12.
