Secrets to Health and Happiness

In 2004 National Geographic, the National

Institutes on Aging, and AARP came together

to identify places around the globe where peo-

ple live longer and report better health. There

were five places world-wide where people

reach age 100 at rates 10 times greater than in

the United States. These places are Sardinia,

Italy; Okinawa, Japan; Loma Linda, California;

Nicola, Costa Rica; and Ikaria, Greece. The

people of these areas were studied to

determine why they live longer and healthier

than people from other areas of the world. The

secrets revealed were not so much about

genetics or diet but instead related to the

lifestyle of these healthy people. The following

nine lifestyle characteristics were found in all

five locations:

Just move - walk everywhere possible

Purpose – have a reason to wake up in the

morning

Down shift – find ways to eliminate stress

80% rule – stop eating before you are full

Plant slant – eat more fruits and vegetables

and limit meat

A glass of wine – wine in moderation can

be good

Belong to a faith-based community –

Any will do

Put loved ones first – Invest in positive

relationships with family

Right tribe – Surround yourself with

supportive people

Take a look at www.BlueZones.com for more

information on this study and for more tips on

tools for improving your health and happiness.

What is Vitamin B12 and what does it do?

Vitamin B12 is a nutrient that helps keepthe body's nerve and blood cells healthy andhelps make DNA, the genetic material in all cells.Vitamin B12 also helps prevent a type of anemiacalled megaloblastic anemia that makes peopletired and weak.

Vitamin B12 is found naturally in a widevariety of animal foods and is added to somefortified foods. Plant foods have no vitamin B12unless they are fortified. You can get recom-mended amounts of vitamin B12 by eating avariety of foods including the following:Beef liver and clams, which are the best sourcesof vitamin B12. Fish, meat, poultry, eggs, milk,and other dairy products, also contain vitaminB12. Some breakfast cereals, nutritional yeastsand other food products that are fortified withvitamin B12. To find out if vitamin B12 has beenadded to a food product, check the productlabels.

Vitamin B12 deficiency causes tiredness,weakness, constipation, loss of appetite, weightloss, and megaloblastic anemia. Nerve problems,such as numbness and tingling in the hands andfeet, can also occur. Other symptoms of vitaminB12 deficiency include problems with balance,depression, confusion, dementia, poor memory,and soreness of the mouth or tongue. VitaminB12 deficiency can damage the nervous systemeven in people who don't have anemia, so it isimportant to treat a deficiency as soon aspossible.

Vitamin B12 can interact or interfere withmedicines that you take, and in some cases,medicines can lower vitamin B12 levels in thebody. Tell your doctor, pharmacist, and otherhealth care providers about any dietarysupplements and medicines you take. They cantell you if those dietary supplements mightinteract or interfere with your prescription or over-the-counter medicines or if the medicines mightinterfere with how your body absorbs, uses, orbreaks down nutrients*Information provided by the Office of Dietary Supplements National
