FOCUS ON HEALTH<br />
1 in 2 people<br />
deficient in B12<br />
Emerging research has shown as many as 50% of older adults and<br />
as many as 25% of younger adults are deficient in vitamin B12.<br />
Scientists at Rush University Medical Center found those most<br />
deficient in vitamin B12 to have the smallest brain mass and the<br />
lowest scores on tests measuring short-term memory, concentration<br />
and brain performance. Another study showed that older people<br />
with higher levels of B12 in their blood have bigger, healthier brains<br />
and score higher on cognitive tests than those with lower levels. Yet<br />
another recent landmark study showed that B12 supplementation<br />
slows the accelerated rate of brain shrinkage and declining cognitive<br />
function. B12 is essential for energy production, cell health,<br />
regulation of mood and sleep cycles, nerve health and repair, and<br />
prevention of homocysteine a serious cardiovascular risk factor that<br />
is known to cause damage and plaque in the blood vessels. It can<br />
also increase the chances of a stroke. Harvard researchers found a<br />
34% decrease risk of vision loss in a study of participants aged 40+<br />
who supplemented with B12. Another study linked a higher risk of<br />
hearing loss in subjects in their 60’s who were low in B12.<br />
The reason so many people lack B12 appears to be our body’s<br />
ability to absorb it declining with age as the digestive system<br />
becomes less efficient. Anti-reflux medication and other drugs<br />
further reduce B12 absorption. The good news is B12 in the form of<br />
Methylcobalamin sublingual tablets that are dissolved in the mouth<br />
and thru bypassing the digestive tract have been shown to effectively<br />
raise B12 levels in the body.<br />

Up to 1 in 2 people may have a shrinking brain due to a lack of vitamin B12.<br />
Supplementation of methylcobalamin B12 has been shown to reduce the rate of brain<br />
shrinkage & support memory & brain function. B12 is also known to protect against<br />
homocysteine a serious cardiovascular risk factor that can also damage the hearing,<br />
eyesight & affect the mood. B12 is essential for energy, cell health & nerve function.<br />

Grape seeds shown<br />
to have remarkable<br />
health benefits!<br />
According to researchers grape seeds may<br />
hold the potential to treat and prevent many<br />
devastating disorders. The seeds have been<br />
found to contain many powerful antioxidant<br />
that have been shown to support the natural<br />
healing process and even slow the aging process.<br />
Grape Seed Extract (GSE) has been shown to<br />
reduce inflammation, pain, increase cell energy,<br />
protect protein structures and increase collagen<br />
production. The powerful antioxidants can<br />
tone and strengthen the blood vessels, improve<br />
blood flow, making it valuable for circulatory<br />
disorders of all kinds, including varicose veins,<br />
haemorrhoids, hardening of the arteries and impaired blood flow<br />
to the brain. It is excellent for most skin conditions with many<br />
noticing the skin becomes smoother.<br />
GSE offers a natural alternative for many people with<br />
hypertension. (High Blood Pressure) Higher B/P puts more<br />
stress on organs and can lead to atherosclerosis (hardening of the<br />
arteries) and increased risk of heart disease and strokes.<br />
Recent studies on people with elevated B/P found GSE to<br />
significantly lower B/P but with no effect on people with normal<br />
B/P. Animal studies have shown GSE to improve heart function,<br />
reduce damage caused by heart attacks and prevent arterial plaque.<br />
A growing number of studies show that GSE has powerful<br />
anticancer properties, can help balance blood sugar, improve<br />
arthritis and protect brain cells. It may prove vital in the treatment<br />
of brain disorders like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.<br />
Numerous studies on GSE show it can help support<br />
our good health and prevent many degenerative<br />
diseases. Further detailed information is available<br />

Ear Health Canterbury has been<br />
providing a microscopic ear cleaning<br />
service in Canterbury for 19 years<br />
From small beginnings in 1999<br />
where monthly clinics were held in the<br />
Christchurch Hearing Association in<br />
Beveridge Street the service expanded<br />
rapidly as clients discovered and appreciated<br />
the benefits of micro suction technology.<br />
Twelve months later clinics had increased<br />
to 5 days a week and with the help of more<br />
trained Registered nurses and Reception<br />
staff clinics opened in Rangiora, Ashburton<br />
Timaru Temuka and Waimate.<br />
In 2004 the clinic moved with the<br />
Hearing Association to larger premises at<br />
275 Riccarton Road. They remain there<br />
today offering a Monday to Saturday service<br />
and a popular and busy mobile service to<br />
Retirement Villages, Rest Home residents<br />
and to people with mobility difficulties in<br />
their private homes.<br />
While a weekly clinic is still held in<br />
Ashburton, the South Canterbury clinics<br />
are now under new Management.<br />
Many conditions affecting the outer<br />
ear canal can be treated and monitored at<br />
Ear Health including infections, relieving<br />
impacted wax and removal of foreign<br />
bodies. Preventative education is also<br />
offered and for those with hearing aids due<br />
to sensorineural hearing loss Ear Health has<br />
accredited ACC and War Pension funding<br />
This safe, accessible, affordable ear care is<br />
provided to all age groups in a client focused<br />
environment with the nurses working<br />
collaboratively with General Practitioners,<br />
Audiologists, Hearing Therapists and<br />
Secondary Care Consultants.<br />
Maintaining good ear hygiene has<br />
many benefits. It can improve hearing and<br />
balance, reduce the symptoms of tinnitus,<br />
improve the effectiveness of hearing<br />
aids and reduce the incidence of aural<br />
infections. Most importantly, this then<br />
enhances quality of life.<br />
