Positive personality traits sometimes paired with ADD/ADHD
While many are quick to point out the "negative" personality traits often associated with ADD/ADHD such as impulsivity, high frustration levels, and indecisiveness, there are many positive traits that unfortunately may go unnoticed.
Some of these include compassion, playfulness, enthusiasm and creativity. While parents and employers alike applaud these characteristics in any child or employee, often these traits are not being taken full advantage of.

Toxic Dangers & How to Avoid Them
Unfortunately, quantity and convenience have replaced quality and safety in many areas of our lives -- including our foods, toiletries, cleaners and even our homes. That alone leaves us vulnerable and exposed to toxic materials at work, school, and at home.
News stories are teeming with reports of problematic additives in foods and chemicals in building supplies. Health problems are surfacing and while individual investigations are underway, it raises an important question: how healthy is my environment? Find Out...

How to Help Your Kids - or Yourself - Get Much Needed ZZZs
Is it ADHD or a sleep disorder? Which problem is contributing to your (or your child's) inattention, hyperactivity, behavioral problems, and ultimately, impaired academic/work performance?
The answer is likely both! Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and sleep disruptions such as insomnia, sleep terrors, bruxism and snoring can display symptoms which are often interrelated or mistakenly attributed to the other problem.
Research from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine shows that teens who received a childhood diagnosis of ADHD currently display sleep disturbances that can endure into adulthood, regardless of the severity of existing ADHD symptoms.

Advantages of Eating the Ayurvedic Way
If staying cool and getting healthy are your goals this summer, we've got you covered! According to Ayurvedic medicine, summer’s heat can be alleviated by consuming astringent vegetables combined with "cooling herbs".
The warmer months are the prime time to find healthy fruits, vegetables and herbs, especially of the kind Ayurvedic medicine calls “cooling”, such as collard greens, chard, spinach, salad greens, celery, summer squash, dill, mint, and cucumbers.
Even better, for once, you can stop calorie counting! Fruits and vegetables are low in calories and offer essential vitamins and minerals that your body needs in order to be in top shape. These foods also have a high water content, which our bodies need more of when temperatures start to soar.

How "Straightening Up" Can Help You Unwind
Many psychologists agree that disorganization can detract from focus, creating a longer amount of time to do the same amount of work—on top of creating feelings of frustration and despair over both little and big things, like not being able to find a sock’s match, or larger things, like paying a bill late because it got lost under a mound of paper on the desk.
In addition, with busy schedules, vacations, guests and family, our homes may or may not be in the best order possible.
Especially for people who struggle with lack of concentration and/or hyperactivity, having a sense of control over environment can greatly alleviate the pressures of daily stressors. While we’re powerless over things like traffic or the weather, taking charge over a manageable variable has the ability to pave the way for less stress and clearer thinking.

Taking Charge for Complete Wellness Now -- AND Later
No matter what your views on the new healthcare reform, it’s hard to argue that a theme is emerging: a focus on promoting wellness, rather then treating sickness. Considering medical bills are the leading cause of bankruptcy according to a Harvard study, your best bet is to get healthy and stay healthy.
This is of course easier said than done, and with the levels of stress many are under now, perhaps health and wellness are the last things on people’s minds. However, in order to live life to the fullest extent—which includes everything from enjoying family, friends, and hobbies to fulfilling duties and overcoming obstacles— we must pursue and maintain health and vitality. This is not an easy task, but taking baby steps can make it possible.
No matter what health level you're at currently, these simple tips can add up to make a huge difference in your overall well-being, as well as help you stay clear of costly health problems down the road.

How to Help Your Child (Or Yourself) Build Better Social Skills
School and work can be stressful enough… dealing with deadlines, assignments, and outside obligations. Throw in maintaining friendships- or dodging bullies- and you’ve got quite a full plate! Especially for children and adults suffering from ADD/ADHD or other learning and concentration difficulties, making friends or keeping the peace with others can be frustrating and difficult.
While popularity in youth does not always correlate to success as an adult, certain traits that popular kids often possess, such as an outgoing personality and good people skills, undoubtedly can give them an edge later in life. In addition, research has shown the health benefits of friendship, including relieving stress, overcoming bad habits like smoking. Friendships can also provide great emotional comfort, which in turn affects social, emotional, and physical health.

Teeth Clenching & Grinding, Migraines, Sleeplessness & More
With stress on the rise for both men and women, tension is taking it's toll on the body! What you may not know is that stress can be released in many unexpected ways!
Stress is a normal physical response to the perception of a threat or danger– a protection mechanism. It helps you stay focused, energetic, alert and even save your life in emergency situations.
But your body does not distinguish between your physical and physiological stress! It will react just as strongly to an argument with your boss or spouse, job instabilities, an overloaded schedule, or financial difficulties.

ADD/ADHD Can Make Kicking a Habit Even Harder
Do you ever wonder what comes first… the smoking (addiction) or the ADD/ADHD (disorder)? Statistics on smoking are not in favor for those with the disorder, as 40% of adults with ADHD smoke, compared to 26% of the general population, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Many smokers with ADD/ADHD claim that smoking is a “self-medicating” rationale for their addiction, as they say that nicotine helps them focus and improve performance.
While there is no hard evidence to support this, pre-clinical data does show that dopamine may be released while smoking, so it can affect mental processes and impulse control (but doesn't necessarily improve it).

A Healthy Liver Means a Healthier Life
Do you want to live a long and healthy life? If you do then it is vital that you start to take care of your body in ways you may not have thought of before.
We are constantly exposed to chemicals and toxins in our environment, from the food we eat and the products we use. Combined with environmental pollution, fast foods, drugs, alcohol, and a sedentary lifestyle, it’s no wonder our livers end up sluggish and diseased with the inevitable result for our bodies:

The Battle Against Everyday Attention Zappers
When did life get so complicated? We may not be able to pin-point the exact moment, but often as we grow up the struggle with balance between our home-life and work-life grows along with us.
As responsibilities start to expand and we become parents or homeowners, higher level employees, or take on other personal obligations, we require amplified multi-tasking capabilities.
For some, the skill grows along with the need and transition occurs gradually; for others, they begin to suddenly question their ability to focus and struggle just to keep up.
There are a many reasons why people may feel overwhelmed and struggle with focus. For some it's adult ADD/ADHD and for others it may just be life... in its highest concentration.
