Food and Brain Connection in Childhood
Author: Angelica Marquass  | Posted: 17-01-2008 | Comments: 0 | Views: 39 | Rating: (65)  (?) 
 What is the difference between the learning and behavior of kids who eat junk food or high GL food with abandon and those who are following a potentially well-balanced diet? If there is a difference between these children, then why is there a difference? What should you as a parent be feeding your child?
One of the most limiting concepts of modern science is the idea that our mind and body are separate entities. Unfortunately, it's not just scientists who live by this false notion. We all, in a manner, subscribe to this myth.? For instance, when you observe your child facing trouble in concentrating on his/her studies, behaving badly or struggling to read, does the thought ever cross your mind that he might be poorly nourished??? If it does not, it is time to wake up. All these characteristics and behavior traits are governed by a network of complex, interconnecting brain cells, shaped by none other than what your child eats on a daily basis.
Fact is that most of our children are struggling to keep up. They're living with perpetual tiredness; are difficulty in concentrating on their studies, behaving erratically or feeling anxious, stressful, irritable or depressed all the time. At such a tender age, they are experiencing sleeping problems. There is sufficient scientific evidence to prove that too many of our children are suffering from mental health problems, ranging from attention deficit disorder to autism, hyperactivity and dyslexia. Some of these kids are simply not able to achieve their full potential in school and at home, solely because of the way they feel inside.
Fortunately, study after study shows that what you feed your child can and will increase intelligence, attention span, concentration, and problem-solving ability, as well as improve emotional response, mood and physical coordination.
If only you'd attempt to understand how your child's brain works, you can eradicate some of these problems and help him/her navigate these crucial development years with considerable ease. Certain nutrients ?are absolutely essential for your child's growth and nourishment. Ideally he? or she should have been raised on these nutrients right from conception, but ?it's still not late.
You, as a parent can make up for the loss, merely ?by changing the child's food habits. By doing all that is suggested in the book "How to Increase Child's IQ' you will be able to fundamentally impact the way your child thinks,? feels and behaves not just in the present, but also in the future as he/she? grows up into a mature adult.????
The time is ripe for change and you can help make it happen! ?

Lice
By: nagalie | 22-07-2008
I am so grossed out, tired, and aggrivated. I need help. I need some feedback. To begin with, I'm an ultra clean person but I think I have lice. I am not sure. for a week now I have been itching like crazy but didn't find anything until today. I can never find anything at will. Nothing in the seems of my clothes. I only feel them. anyway, today I found on my arm ( think it fell from my head) what I now know looks like lice according to pictures i've seen. It had 6 legs was a transparent brown exept for the dark insides of its body. It was about the size of the period at the end of this sentence but a bit larger including it's legs...(Sooo sorry that you are getting this gross info but it's quite necessary for the process of identifying my problem.) Anyway, I am pretty sure it is lice but the question i want to ask now is what kind? If it is body lice it should be treated different from head lice I think. I know you can get rid of head lice with olive oil but body lice? Here are my symptoms... I am 90% sure I got this from my dog who was in some tall grass the other day. I saw her itching intensely but shes never had any bites before so I didnt think about it. I thought it was allergies and gave her a benedryl. THEN I started itching along with her. I know its not fleas. I don't think its scabies because my bites dont run in lines or around the webbing of my fingers. Not only that but scabies dont look like lice from what I know. Now, I can't tell if it is head or body lice because of this, they are both on my head and on my body. I even feel them in my eyelashes. I have them in my nether regions...and I've never had sex.lol I have bites that look like pimples all spread out on my legs...nether region...round my belly button, on my behind, back and neck. None on my chest or face thank God for that. But head lice are supposed to remain on the head for all I know and body lice on the body. I even feel itchy in my ears. I can barely sleep. Someone help me so I can search for a remedy pleeease. If you have a remedy for either please share it with me . Thanks
