The rat race to the top of the corporate ladder has taken its toll by affecting our lifestyles drastically and bringing about a significant change in our eating habits. Gone are the days when people took home cooked food along to work. Office canteens that earlier supplied simple and healthy lunches have been replaced by fast food counters round the corner. To add to the mess, we not only indulge in fast foods but also eat fast.

It is only a healthy body that houses a healthy mind. Unhealthy diets like junk foods lead to lethargy and low levels of energy. Constant lowering of energy makes it harder to get up and get going and ailments like depression can set in. With the passage of time, cause and effect cease to be distinguishable from each other. This unhealthy connection is specifically evident in depression related eating.

Synthetic products and convention medicine can prove to be very harmful in many cases as they have side effects that can prove to be as dangerous. Sometimes the threat that is posed for the patient by the side effects is actually more than the complications that the disease itself can cause. Conventional medicine often treats hyperthyroidism with the aid of radiation and radioactive iodine therapies. The side effects of radiation therapy are well known but what is not often advertised is that excess iodine too can cause abnormal growth of the thyroid gland. This can lead to disorders in functioning and growth of the body as a whole. Elemental iodine, 12, is a veritable poison if taken in large quantities since iodides are similar to bromides in toxicity.

WASHINGTON (AP) — In a child’s buffet of food commercials, more than 40 percent of the dishes are candy, snacks and fast food. Nowhere to be found: fresh fruit, vegetables, poultry or seafood.
For years, health officials have warned that kids were being inundated with commercials about not-so-healthy foods. Now, researchers have put numbers to those warnings in the largest-ever study of commercials aimed at children.

New research has apparently added to the growing belief that early dietary interventions can improve cholesterol levels in children.
To add to this, the study also demonstrates that blood-vessel function is also enhanced, at least in boys, by the change in diet.
The findings are apparently based on a study of 1062 healthy 11-year-old children who were either put on a low saturated fat diet or an unrestricted diet starting in infancy.

It is believed that there are many possible causes for ADHD. Hence, ADHD treatment should be based on a multifaceted approach that should encompass medication, behavioral therapy, dietary intervention and exercise. A combined approach has been shown to have imparted the maximum benefit to the children diagnosed with ADHD. Of the various causes for ADHD, some important factors that are related to the diet are nutritional deficiencies, food allergies, food additives and heavy metal toxicity. Though there is no conclusive evidence to prove that a particular type of a diet will offer a positive benefit, experts agree that a well balanced diet and exercise can go a long way to help in managing this condition effectively.
