ADHD

The rate of children being diagnosed with ADHD has been rising at an alarming rate over the last decade. To a certain extent I believe that the disorder is overly diagnosed, but there is no arguing that some children do have behavior issues. A recent article pointed to pesticides found in our food as a likely cause of many children's behavioral problems. Please read the article below and follow the steps pointed out to minimize your risk of exposure to harmful chemicals found in our foods. Even with a proper diet it is important to detoxify our systems on a regular basis. There are many cleansing products on the market to accomplish detoxifying our liver, I recommend doing this once every 6 months or so, to rid the body of all of the harmful chemicals. Something we can do daily to help detox the system is drink enough water. You should be consuming half of your body weight in ounces of water each day. Try it, I promise you your body will thank you.

Vitamin D

I have read a lot lately about the great health benefits we can all enjoy from getting the proper amount of Vitamin D in our diets, decreased incidence of influenza, treatment of influenza once if you do acquire the disease, bone health the list goes on and on. This article by Dr. Mercola outlines the difference between getting nutrients in whole food form vs. in fortified foods and which is the better way to go.
