It is well-known that those with ADHD often have difficulty paying attention and may be easily distracted. What is less well-known is that ADHD can be linked to digestive issues. The brain plays an important role in regulating the digestive system, and research has demonstrated that people with ADHD often have trouble with brain-gut communication.

There are plenty of fish in the sea, and there is also plenty of fish oil supplements on the market! It seems that the choices are endless when it comes to a fish oil supplement. Most of the time, there is some kind of "cardiovascular" protection idea, along with some reference to arteries, brain health and even sometimes pregnant women? Really, it almost seems vague why someone would spend the money on a fish oil supplement. After all, there is no specific immediate effect for you to gauge if the fish oil supplement is actually working. Or is there?

People often think of vanilla as the flavouring for ice cream, but most vanilla flavouring is synthetic. On the other hand, real vanilla has many traditional medicinal uses and has been demonstrated to have a positive effect on several chronic diseases (long-term illnesses).

Did you know that depression is considered an inflammatory disease? Recent studies have linked good mental health to an anti-inflammatory diet that is low in junk food and rich in whole foods.

Headaches are one of the most common medical complaints, with most people experiencing at least one headache in their lifetime. There are a variety of different types of headaches, and they can be classified based on their frequency and symptoms.

Supplementing with pigments like lutins, zeaxanthin and astaxanthin can significantly delay the progression of macular degeneration. Studies also show an improvement of visual acuity upon a simple increase in the intake of dark leafy greens.

Ginkgo biloba, commonly known as the “Silver Apricot” or “Maidenhair” tree is a living fossil that remains a botanical scientific anomaly. With genes that help it stand out as one of the few trees that live well above 1000 years, ginkgo is the botanical symbol of longevity. Perhaps what is, even more, shocking about ginkgo is that it demonstrates resilience to maintain its exact same genetic blueprint from 300 million years ago.
