<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Many Sierra Sun readers may be interested to know that vitamin B12 injections can help to revitalize those suffering from fatigue. B12 is a water-soluble <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin">vitamin</a> that plays a key role in the normal functioning of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain">brain</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nervous_system">nervous system</a> and the formation of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood">blood</a>. B12 is bound to proteins in foods like meat, fish, eggs, dairy products and fortified cereals and is released when being digested in the stomach. Vitamin B12 is essential for healthy skin, hair, nails, cell reproduction, a healthy digestive system, and also protects against cancers including breast, colon, lung and prostate cancer. Vitamin B12 is also needed to convert carbohydrates into glucose in the body, leading to more efficient energy production which decreases fatigue.</span></div>

<div style="font: 12.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Many people have difficulty absorbing B12 into their systems, due to high levels of stress that their bodies are enduring or while experiencing certain medical conditions. Vitamin B12 is also lost when alcohol is consumed. Inadequate intake or absorption of B12 can cause fatigue, and severe deficiencies can cause neurological problems or anemia. Vitamin B12 can be taken orally or as drops under the tongue, but taking a supplement by mouth may not provide sufficient amounts of this needed energy booster due to poor absorption. Strict vegetarians, heavy drinkers and smokers, pregnant or breast-feeding women, and the elderly are suggested to take vitamin B12 supplements or injections to receive their adequate daily intake.</span></div>

At Sierra Cosmetic Laser, B12 injections are offered at an affordable cost of $15 per injection. I recommend that patients start with one injection per week for four weeks and then one per month after, until energy levels are back to normal and they are feeling better. Once a patient has gone through the treatments and their body returns to a normal healthy state, they can stop in for a vitamin B12 injection whenever they feel the need for it. Vitamin B12 injections are extremely safe as whatever your body does not absorb, will be filtered out of the body by the kidneys.</span></div>

Body cleansing is a popular
strategy for improving one's general health and to address a number of common
symptoms and health concerns. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
People may undertake a cleanse to
lose weight, decrease fatigue, improve acne, or when starting a new exercise
program. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
Cleansing has been around for eons
and every culture or religion in the world engages in some sort of a
"cleanse" or purification ritual. Many feel that since a
cleanse is targeted at behaviors that we should be doing all the time, a
cleanse is a false pretense of a healthy lifestyle. However, most people
do get into a rut as far as diet and lifestyles are concerned. A cleanse
is meant to re-focus the individual to assist in finding the patience and
clarity necessary to make better day-to-day health choices.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
Unfortunately, there are dangerous
cleansing regimens that are promoted on the internet. Many involve
fasting for prolonged periods of time with very low calorie intake and water.
These regimens can lead to electrolyte imbalances that can have adverse
effects on the kidneys, liver, heart, brain and muscles. Many people,
especially women, have experienced heart arrhythmias, loss of consciousness,
nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and dehydration from these austere regimens.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
A safe cleanse is meant to
"clean up" one's diet, habits and even the products that you use on
your body and in your household. The best dietary cleanse would be to
follow a low calorie, high fiber diet free of processed foods, smoking and
alcohol with plenty of water, exercise, sleep, and daily meditation for 10 to
14 days. A cleanse should be a strict commitment during the time period
you have chosen. If you feel that you can only cleanse one area of your
lifestyle at a time, such as abstaining from alcohol or getting enough sleep,
then do so. It is better to focus on only one area than to not cleanse at
all.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
When a cleanse is undertaken to
address skin issues such as dryness or acne, attention should be paid to getting
enough of vitamins A, C and E and Omega-3 fatty acids in the diet. These
are important for skin and hair texture and health. Also take a look at
what you are using on your body. Using toiletries that are filled with
preservatives and chemicals are harmful to the body. There are natural
and organic products available that are free of harsh chemicals.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
When done properly, a good cleanse
can lead to better health, weight loss and even better skin. A cleanse
can be a springboard to better habits and health choices. Poor and even
dangerous cleanses involving Spartan diets or prolonged fasting can actually
lead to worsened health and do not promote better habits. If you have
decreased energy, need to lose weight, or just want to look better and feel healthier,
then the right cleanse may be the kick start that you need to get into the
groove of making better health choices.</div>
