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 />
