But "non-essential" in this context simply means that it is not essential to ensure a daily intake from diet, because the compound can be manufactured by the body, albeit in fairly small quantities. It should not be taken as lessening the importance of taurine or the other non-essential amino acids in any way.

Much publicity has recently been given to taurine as a way of preventing hangovers and slowing or even reversing the liver damage caused by long term excess alcohol consumption. So taurine is commonly added with caffeine to the energy drinks increasingly sold as mixers to take with alcoholic drinks. Whilst it has to be said that the "jury's still out" on some of the wilder claims made in this regard, there is evidence that taurine may be beneficial not just for the liver but for the heart, kidneys and other organs which may become subject to inflammation or the accumulation of fluid or fat.

Complementary medical practitioners are particularly enthusiastic in using taurine supplements as therapy for conditions including hypertension, macular degeneration of the eyes, congestive heart failure, fluid retention and asthma. Although these conditions may appear diverse, if there is a common factor it is probably an imbalance in body chemistry, particularly perhaps the relative concentrations of potassium, magnesium and sodium within the cells. And there is some good research evidence to suggest that taurine's effect in restoring proper fluid balance may be very effective in reducing blood pressure and tackling congestive heart failure.

When taken in conjunction with magnesium, taurine may help maintain good heart rhythm, and it is also an anti-oxidant which helps protect against atherosclerosis and the formation of potentially dangerous blood clots.

As a fat soluble anti-oxidant, taurine is also invaluable in protecting the light sensitive cells of the retina, which contain a very high concentration of fats, from the free radical damage which can lead to loss of vision through macular degeneration. Taurine's role as an anti-oxidant has also been highlighted as a possible protector of the lungs against free radical attack, with potentially particularly valuable implications for sufferers from asthma.

Finally, although it remains a matter of some controversy, taurine's role in balancing cell chemistry is also believed by some nutritionists to protect against epileptic and other types of brain seizure. It is also found in very high concentrations in the white blood cells which are the key to a healthy immune system, and is believed to help stabilise blood sugar levels.

To manufacture sufficient taurine within the body a good supply of the essential amino acids is required, particularly methionine. By far the best sources of these are the so-called "first-class" protein foods, called first-class precisely because they contain all of the essential amino acids. Meat, poultry, fish and dairy products are all within this group, and for the purposes of taurine, shellfish are a particularly rich source.

A diet providing normal quantities of these food groups will usually be adequate to prevent taurine deficiency, but not necessarily to secure the maximum benefits for sufferers from the conditions mentioned above. Those following a vegetarian diet will also have to take particular care to combine foods correctly in order to obtain an adequate supply of the essential amino acids; methionine especially.

Fortunately, however, there appear to be no toxicity issues with taurine supplementation, except for sufferers from excess stomach acidity or ulcers. So some nutritional therapists commonly recommend therapeutic doses of up to 4,000 mg a day, particularly when treating the heart and cardiovascular conditions detailed above, with no reports of ill-effects. It's worth noting, however, that some minor gastro-intestinal disturbances have been observed when even higher doses have been applied.

But as always, when considering any program of supplementation, it needs to be remembered that the body is a holistically functioning organism, and that no one nutrient can function 100% effectively in the absence of an adequate supply of all the others. Taking individual supplements of amino acids can create an imbalance, and is not therefore recommended except in the short term, and is in any case best accompanied by a comprehensive multi-vitamin and multi=96mineral regime. In the case of taurine, however, it is also worth pointing out that its action seems to be particularly dependent on good supplies of vitamin B6 and the essential mineral, zinc.

Used for muscle building, increasing strength and improving muscle recovery times between workouts. The Supplement contains 5 proven ingredients backed by scientific research.

SAN V12 Tubro contains 4 grams of Tri Creatine Malate, which is made from 3 creatine molecules attached to 1 molecule of malic acid. Tri Creatine malate is more water soluble than standard creatine monohydrate. It may therefore offer greater bioavailability than regular creatine. Creatine is useful to the bodybuilder as it it increases the short bursts of power needed to lift weights. It assists with muscle building as it aids recovery between sets by replenishing ATP stores (muscle energy) quicker.

The second active ingredient in SAN V12 Turbo is 2 grams of Betaine-Glycocyamine, This ingredient is a blend of betaine anhydrous and glycocyamine. Betaine Anhydrous is a vitamin derived from choline. Betaine is essential for the maintenance of intestinal function and cell production. It may also promote lean mass and increase appetite. Glycocyamine is a precursor to creatine, essentially Glycocyamine converts to creatine in the body, the benefit of this is glycocyamine has a high oral bioavailability and is efficiently converted into creatine. This would then offer the same benefits of creatine but benefit "non responders" of traditional creatine. Taking Glycocyamine with Betaine is considered to be safer than taking Glycocyamine alone.

SAN V12 also contains 2 grams of Micronised Taurine, Taurine is an organic acid and a potent antioxidant found in tissues of animals and in plants. Taurine can expand your muscle cells by helping the cell hold water, this is positive for the bodybuilder as the muscles will look fuller and increased hydration can aid protein synthesis. The fact the taurine is micronised means that the actual taurine particles are smaller, meaning a greater surface area, as such the body will absorb the taurine faster, more efficently and the taurine will mixes more easily in water.

The fourth active ingredient is 1.5 grams of Arginine Alpha-Ketoglutarate. This ingredient is formed by combining 2 arginine (an amino acid) molecules with 1 molecule of Alpha-Ketoglutarate. Arginine is important in cell division, wound healing, removing ammonia from the body, immune function and the release of hormones. Arginine is the immediate pre cursor of Nitric Oxide and is necessary for the synthesis of creatine. As a precursor of Nitric Oxide it is used to increase blood flow to the muscle. Arginine also increases the production of growth hormone. Alpha-Ketoglutarate is an important biological compound , one of its functions is to combine with ammonia to form glutamine, useful for muscle recovery.

The Final Active ingredient in SAN V12 Turbo is NAG (N-Acetyl-L-Glutamine) which is an acetylated version of glutamine, NAG is more stable in water than normal glutamine and therefore may offer better absorption. Glutamine plays a role muscle cell volume, glycogen storage, growth hormone and supports the body's immune system.

SAN V12 is a useful supplement, and is generally well tolerated but based on the ingredients users should be aware of the potential side effects. These are (please note there may be others not listed) Diarrhea, Stomach Upset, nausea, bloating, headaches, water retention, body odour. This article is written on behalf of The Supplement Site.

While it's a serious problem that needs to be immediately attacked, it is important to know that there are alternative high blood pressure treatments that don't necessarily include prescription medications.

If you're seeking a healthy, wholesome high blood pressure treatment, look no further than the following three naturally occurring ingredients that have been shown to address high blood pressure symptoms in a number of cases.

Taurine High Blood Pressure Treatment

You probably aren't familiar with this acid, as it's not well advertised by food and drink companies, but it's all around and in us. In fact, many foods have been infused with this product that can be an effective high blood pressure treatment (and may also assist with some forms of depression too.)

For instance, some animal products contain taurine, as do a few "energy" drinks (popular among recreational and professional athletes.) However, you can also find taurine in supplement form if you are avoiding sugars or are a practicing vegan or vegetarian but want to reduce high blood pressure symptoms.

CoEnzyme Q10 High Blood Pressure Treatment

This vitamin, commonly called CoQ10, is a natural antioxidant. Thus, it has been useful as a high blood pressure treatment for many patients to add CoQ10 to their diets as a means of tackling high blood pressure symptoms naturally and without medications.

Chances are you'll wind up taking CoQ10 as a high blood pressure treatment in pill or tablet form. If you're unsure of the amount you should take, ask your pharmacist or family doctor for more information regarding this healthy-heart ingredient. He or she will be able to give you a definitive suggestion based on your history and high blood pressure symptoms and numbers.

Vitamin C High Blood Pressure Treatment

Unlike taurine and CoQ10, you've no doubt heard of Vitamin C, as it's marketed heavily, especially in the United States. This cure-all has been known to ward off colds as well as keep the internal system running smoothly. Hence, it's often used as a kind of "detoxification" method for high blood pressure treatment.

Essentially, Vitamin C enters the bloodstream and cleanses the arteries and veins, allowing blood to flow more freely throughout the body. Like a mild astringent, it sweeps away blockages and thereby treats high blood pressure symptoms.

Though most people can tolerate higher doses of Vitamin C, it can cause some discomfort in patients with high blood pressure and must be used watchfully. Side effects of Vitamin C over-doses include diarrhea, ulcers, and abdominal cramping or pains. If you experience these side effects when self-medicating with Vitamin C, scale back on your daily intake of the vitamin so your high blood pressure treatment doesn't cause other health worries.

Be aware, too, that Vitamin C is naturally occurring in many foods that you are probably already eating; thus, taking too much is easy to do. Chart your Vitamin C daily intake for the most reliable method of ingesting the proper amount for sufficient (but not toxic) treatment of your high blood pressure symptoms.

Many users of standard creatine (creatine monohydrate) reported stomach cramps and/or bloating. This was due to poor absorption of creatine in to the muscles and the creatine product would end up just lining the stomach drawing water into it - leading to the bloating.

However several andquot;next generationandquot; creatine supplements are available on the market now including Kre Aklyn, CEE, Di Creatine Malate, and micronised. All of these contain creatine but have been designed to increase creatine absorption, get more creatine to the bodys muscle and reduce bloating; resulting in a need to take in less creatine, this makes creatine supplementation more convenient to take in capsule or tablet form.

Many Supplement manafacturers have combined next generation creatine supplements with other nutritional supplements such as l-glutamine, caffeine, nitric oxide (arginine), taurine or whey protein. Although more costly it is more convenient for the consumer and can assist with better results. These supplements are availble in tablet form or a powdered drink mix. Dependant on your precise goals choose; Glutamine andamp; Creatine for better post workout recovery (BSN CellMass, Xyience NOX-CG3) for increase strength choose taurine and creatine (SAN V12 Turbo)for better recovery between sets and muscle pumps choose nitric oxide and creatine (Controlled Labs White Blood, BSN Nitrix) or for increased energy and drive choose caffeine and creatine (BSN NO-Xplode) http://www.thesupplementsite.co.uk/SAN/v12_turbo.htm ]]> http://www.artwoo.com/article/monstrous-content-of-monster-energy-drink http://www.artwoo.com/article/monstrous-content-of-monster-energy-drink#comments Wed, 20 Sep 2006 04:27:02 +0000 monster energy drinkcanadian territoriesenergy drinksbody energyregular exercise routineouncelost http://www.artwoo.com/article/monstrous-content-of-monster-energy-drink lost all your body energy.

Just remember that in the wild your dog would catch small prey and eat the whole thing. This consisted of the meat, bones, organs, even the heart, brain and eyes (which are high in taurine). The vegetables they would get were in the stomach and digestive tract of the animals already partially digested. If you make your all natural dog foods to imitate your dogs prey hey will enjoy optimum health and love you for it.

Meats need to be fed one animal at a time. In the wild your dog would not eat more than one kind of meat at once. The meat should be ground or served in chunks which are easier to eat. Larger pieces will cause your dog to hold them with their feet to rip the meat apart, which can get messy.

Do not feed any fat that has been cooked which can lead to problems with your dog's pancreas. Remember in the wild your dog would only get the fat that was on the animal and eaten raw. Use the skin that comes on the meat of in the case of beef the fat riddled throughout the meat.

Meats that cause trichinosis should never be fed like pork, bear, seal, ground squirrels, etc. However specialty meats like moose, ox, venison or bison are very pure and nutrient dense and can be fed in smaller quantities occasionally. Soft boiled eggs are also a good protein source, feed shells and all.

Organ meats are also very nutrient dense so use organ meat sparingly in your homemade dog food recipe. Either feed organ meats a couple of times a week for the meat portion or feed small amounts daily. Brains, heart and eyes are very high in taurine which is an essential amino acid for a healthy dog.

Vegetables are also essential in the best all natural dog foods. Remember to shred vegetables in a blender or food processor, your dog was used to getting them predigested in the wild. Use 3 or four different kinds of vegetables, preferably different colors to receive a wide variety of nutrients. The darker the vegetable, the more nutritious it will be in your all natural dog foods homemade dog food recipe.

It is best to avoid vegetables from the nightshade family like eggplants, green peppers, potatoes, onions, chives, garlic and tomatoes. These vegetables are associated with arthritis problems. Spinach also has a high oxalic content which can lead to kidney stones.

The best ingredients for the best all natural dog foods in your homemade dog food recipe are free range or organic meat because of the amount of toxins in meat and organic vegetables or peel the skin or wash with a spray to remove pesticides. Organic is always the best choice for all natural dog foods. Warm purified water is also an essential element in the best homemade dog food recipe. If these ingredients are not available use what you have, because it will make better all natural dog foods than you can purchase. Do not make your homemade dog food recipe because you cannot get all organic, what you make will be much more nutritious than any all natural dog foods you can buy.

Mix the meat at about 75% with the vegetables about 25% of the homemade dog food recipe. Puppies need a little more meat to vegetables since they are growing. Mix enough warm water to make a stew consistency. Meat and vegetables should be raw with the vegetables shredded finely. If you see vegetables in your dogs stool they are not chopped fine enough.

Your dog will eat until he is full. A good rule of thumb is about a pound of all natural dog foods per fifty pounds of your dog's body weight. Do not feed your dog again until he has eliminated the previous meal or this can cause digestive problems for your dog. Always introduce any change in your dog's diet slowly, increasing the new food daily until you have switched your dog over to the new all natural dog foods.

Using these simple guidelines you can make your dog the best all natural dog foods from your own homemade dog food recipe so your dog can enjoy optimum health.

After all, your kitten has to get proper nutrition now so it can grow up to be strong and healthy.

The Mother's Milk

During the first ten weeks of life, it is essential for your kitten to feed from its mother's milk. During this time period, your kitten will also grow substantially. In fact, most kittens weigh around three ounces at birth and they gain ounce every day. By the time they reach the ten week mark, most kittens weigh around two pounds - that is a full ten times what they weigh when born. If the average human baby were to grow this quickly, he or she would be about 80 pounds when just ten weeks old!

Starting Solids

Once your kitten is three to four weeks old, you can start to introduce solid foods. The kitten's mother's milk should still be the primary food source, but solids should be offered as well. Since your kitten still will not have all of its teeth and will have a tender tummy, you should stick with canned foods when first introducing solids. By the time your kitten reaches ten weeks old, you can start weaning it from its mother milk and feed more and more solids.

After Weaning is Completed

Once your kitten is fully weaned from its mother's milk, it is important for you to maintain a properly balanced diet. This includes providing your kitten with protein, minerals and vitamins. If you are purchasing commercial cat food for your kitten, be sure to purchase food that is specifically formulated for kittens. This way, you can be certain it has the proper nutrition density. Some of the most important nutrients to include in your kitten's diet include:

• Calcium
• Essential fatty acid
• Phosphorus
• Vitamin A
• Vitamin D
• Taurine
• Thiamine
• Zinc

Of course, the food you feed your kitten has to taste good. Otherwise, your kitten may turn up its nose to the food and may not get the proper nutrition. If you take steps to provide your kitten with a variety of different foods, this will also help prevent your kitten from growing into a picky eater.

As your kitten grows older, you should also try to vary the types of foods that you feed to it. Rather than feeding only dry food or only canned food, alternate between the two or offer a bit of each type of food each day. You might also feed dry food to your kitten that has been softened with some warm water in order to make it easier for your kitten to eat it. In addition, feel free to feed your kitten as much as it wants to eat up until it is about eight months old. Your kitten is growing quickly and needs plenty of nutrition to help it grow!CS Swarens is the CEO of Find a Pet Online. 800 998-7065 For additional information on dogs, cats, birds, horses, and exotic pets visit the internet's resource for kittens for sale. kitten information.]]> http://www.artwoo.com/article/minimize-the-risk-of-additives-with-homemade-energy-drink http://www.artwoo.com/article/minimize-the-risk-of-additives-with-homemade-energy-drink#comments Mon, 23 Oct 2006 16:27:11 +0000 energy drinksenergy drinktv commercialslikewisecaffeinehealth consciousrecipes http://www.artwoo.com/article/minimize-the-risk-of-additives-with-homemade-energy-drink energy drinks in cans or in bottles on TV commercials, in the market and even in local stores.

When there is a decrease in the production of the hormone insulin, then the body will have an excess amount of blood glucose or blood sugar which can have catastrophic consequences if the problem is not treated.

A diabetic may be either insulin deficient or insulin resistant. When a diabetic is insulin deficient their pancreas is not producing enough insulin due to a malfunction of insulin producing cells, therefore resulting in a lack of insulin and an excess of blood sugar.

When a diabetic is insulin resistant the pancreas produces plenty of insulin, however, the body does not process the insulin properly and therefore it has the same result with an excess of blood sugar.

If untreated, the high glucose levels in the blood will damage blood vessels which will result in long term health problems. Some symptoms of diabetes are:

- Urinating frequently - Thirsty all the time - Tired - Weak - Light-headed

If you have any of these symptoms and have a family history of diabetes, be sure to consult your doctor. Natural remedies should be taken with your doctor's knowledge so that he can make sure your diabetes is being controlled appropriately.

Natural Remedies for Diabetes:

1 - Taking garlic tablets can help with your circulation and regulate your sugar levels

2 - Two teaspoons of powdered Fenugreek seeds with milk or if you prefer you can swallow whole. Take every day.

3 - Alma has a high vitamin C content and therefore can be effective in controlling diabetes. Take a tablespoon of its juice mixed with a cup of fresh bitter-gourd juice daily for two months. This will secrete the pancreas and enable it to secrete insulin.

4 - 500mg of L-glutamine and taurine a day will reduce sugar craving and help release insulin.

Diabetics these days can monitor their blood sugar levels themselves in their own homes. By keeping regular checks on your blood sugar levels it may be possible to control your diabetes by a controlled and sensible diet. Not all diabetics will be able to use diet on its own to control their diabetes and your doctor will be able to assist you with this.

It is important to stick to a strict low calorie, high carbohydrate diet with lots of fibre and little or no sugar. Daily exercise is also very beneficial in controlling your diabetes. Obese people are at a much higher risk of having diabetes.

A combination of garlic, watercress and parsley eaten daily can also help to regulate blood sugar levels so this is a good choice to add to your diet.

Remember diabetes is a serious condition and although may be able to be controlled by diet and natural remedies, always do so with your doctors knowledge as for some diabetics it may not be enough and you may need to be given insulin to control the disease.

In an understandable state of panic, he comes to you as a teammate and friend, asking if you understand high blood pressure treatment options or have some ideas on how he or she can overcome their high blood pressure symptoms. Though you're familiar with the condition, you may be at an initial loss. So, the following useful guide has been created to help you help someone else.

If you're the coworker's subordinate=85

Your boss is the one with high blood pressure symptoms, so you can start your assistance by removing stressful obstacles in his or her way. If you're a personal assistant, you can try to screen calls or offer to open non-confidential mail in order to take the first "blows". On the other hand, you could always try to limit your own stress-inducing behavior by completing tasks on time and with proficiency - and so you yourself can become a high blood pressure treatment.

You can also encourage your supervisor to begin a vitamin C regimen to detoxify his or her system. For many years, holistic health professionals and naturopaths have recommended vitamin C as a high blood pressure treatment. The vitamin C assists in clearing and unclogging the bloodstream, thus tackling high blood pressure at the source.

If you're the coworker's teammate=85

You and your coworker are on "equal footing" in this scenario, so you might be able to recommend more specific blood pressure treatment options since you won't be worried about the hierarchy of the work management chain and how that could affect you corporately.

Take the coworker aside during lunch and ask him at length about his high blood pressure symptoms and treatment that has been recommended by his primary doctor. You can also suggest that he begin taking CoQ10 and taurine supplements in addition to any medications for high blood pressure treatment. Studies have shown that these items are highly effective in some patients for reducing high blood pressure symptoms significantly.

If you're the coworker's superior=85

Should a subordinate employee come to you to discuss his high blood pressure treatment options, you may be wise to invite the human resources director in on your conversation. That way, you and the HR pro may be able to effectively help the coworker deal with high blood pressure symptoms and possible work-related causes, such as a great deal of overtime or very stressful assignments.

However, it's critical not to treat the employee with "kid gloves"; otherwise, you could be accused in the future of discrimination because of his high blood pressure symptoms. There is also the issue of admitting "guilt" in any future litigation that may arise as the company's culpability in your employee's high blood pressure. Instead, make sure you simply advocate a positive change in order to help along a coworker's high blood pressure treatment options(http://www.mitamins.com/disease/High-Blood-Pressure.html).

In the end, it shouldn't be difficult to provide some manner of support to a coworker with high blood pressure symptoms(http://www.mitamins.com/disease/High-Blood-Pressure.html). Just being available to him during this troubling period may be all the treatment he needs.

Bad choices can mean suffering and premature aging and death for the animal.

What do you need to know about helping your cat remain healthy? Well there are several options. First of all a feline is a carnivore. Cats have always needed the nutrition of meat in order to survive. In fact in the wild cats will hunt their meat, for example just look at lions and tigers. Your domestic cat should not be any different with regard to offering protein in the meal. Water is also an important source of nutrients. To maintain healthy weight water is needed.

Other vitamins your cat needs include vitamin A, D, E and B complex. Also niacin, riboflavin, and thiamin are needed for a complete nutritional complement. Taurine is an important amino acid for felines. They cannot manufacture enough of this nutritional supplement by themselves. One supplement they do not need to consume is vitamin C. Cats synthesize enough of this nutrient within their bodies, as well as vitamin K.

Other vitamins and minerals like calcium are important but keep in mind that overdoing the supplement portion of your pet's intake can be problematic as well. Always check to make sure the proper dosage has been adhered to before feeding your cat vitamins and minerals. And keep in mind the vitamins they do not need to consume.

They need copper, magnesium, potassium, iron, zinc, selenium, and other supplements but they also need natural sunlight, exercise, though not as much as a dog, and proper attention in order to be fully healthy. Think of your cats as total beings, not just something you feed everyday. Make sure they get plenty of play everyday with household toys or furniture they can climb on. Many items can be designed with their enjoyment in mind, including where they sleep.

To ensure that your pet receives the exercise they need, offering them plenty of different toys to play with and furniture to climb on is essential. The kitty towers and scratching posts are not to keep them off your furniture as much as they are to give the cat exercise. Sleep is another aspect to be concerned with. Typically a kitten is going to need more play and less sleep. As the cat ages you may find they have a pattern of sleep and play time. Sleep requires a comfortable area they will be happy to sleep in during the day, especially if they are not allowed on the furniture.

The second and arguably the most important benefit to preparing your pet's meals yourself is that you can avoid the chemicals and by-products found in most store bought food. These by-products have no place in the natural diet of a cat or any animal. Cats need nutritious substances that come from the earth and do not include man-made chemicals or additives.David Lee is the owner and designer of several pet sites.

Children who have difficulty controlling their bodies and paying attention do not do well in school and because of this negative school experience; they feel that they are dumb and worthless. However, there are ways to help hyperactive and easily distracted children better focus their energy and attention into something positive and constructive. Many supplemental nutrients help children to concentrate on school activities and enjoy extracurricular activities as well.

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurobiological disorder of self control consisting of problems with attention span, impulse control, and activity level. There are three types of ADHD. The first of these three is inattentive, which is when the child can't seem to get focused and stay focused on a task. The second is hyperactive-impulsive, in which the child is very active and often acts without thinking. The third type of ADHD is a combination of the above two, where the child is inattentive, impulsive, and very active. Some symptoms of ADHD include: not paying close attention to details; not seeming to listen when spoken to directly, easily distracted; difficulty organizing and finishing tasks, fidgeting with hands and feet; running or climbing excessively; talking continually; interrupting conversation and intruding in other children's games; avoiding tasks that require sustained mental effort; exhibiting impulsive behavior; and doing things that are dangerous without thinking about possible outcomes. While all children show the above symptoms to a small degree, a child with ADHD will show these symptoms to a degree that interferes with major life activities and causes harm to the child.



The symptoms of ADHD can be detrimental for a child, leaving a bright child who is unable to succeed with a feeling of constant failure leading to low self-esteem and depression. A child with ADHD may be delayed by up to 30 percent of their actual age in their ability to pay attention and remember. This does not mean that intelligence is any less, but that the ability to control impulses is affected. It is crucial for parents to intervene and control ADHD symptoms early, as ignoring problems will only hurt the child more. Although the cause for ADHD is undetermined, scientists are researching the effects of drug use, genetics, and toxins during pregnancy. Also a mother's use of cigarettes, alcohol, or other drugs during pregnancy may have damaging effects on the unborn child's brain, by distorting developing nerve cells, which could potentially lead to ADHD. Other research is showing that attention disorders often run in the family, with children having ADHD often having at least one close relative who also has ADHD.



Most children with ADHD can not grow out of it. Statistics show that 67% of people diagnosed with ADHD as a child will have it into adulthood. However, this does not mean that the other 33% outgrew it, but rather that they didn't have the full criteria to be classified as having the disorder. If ADHD is left untreated it can have serious ramifications, including: school failure; depression; conduct disorder; failed relationships; and substance abuse. Untreated children often struggle in school with 23 -35% of them being help back at least one before high school and 37% never finishing high school. It has also been found that adolescents with ADHD start having sex earlier than their peers, have more sexual partners, and opt to not use contraception. An ADHD teen is 40 times more likely to have a child out of wedlock before the age of twenty.

Some conventional treatments for ADHD are stimulants including methylphenidate, amphetamine, and pemoline. Although it may seem contradictory to prescribe a stimulant for a hyperactive child, but it is theorize that stimulants activate the behavior control center in the brain. The result of these stimulants is better focus, more controlled activity levels, and increased attention span. The last result is an anti-hypertensive drug, which has behavior modifying properties. The common side effects of these medications include decreased appetite leading to weight loss, headaches, stomach discomfort, increased anxiousness, insomnia, and it may also worsen the tics in 34% of children with Tourette's syndrome. The use of the "last resort" drugs requires a great deal of monitoring, with the dosage of these drugs being hard to regulate.



There are natural alternatives to the conventional ADHD medications that could help a child with ADHD. The following natural ingredients work together to help improve brain neurotransmittance, concentration, attention, and control of hyperactivity: L-Theanine, Phophatidylserine, DMAE, Taurine, N-acetylcysteine. L-Theanine causes an increase in neurotransmitter concentrations in the brain, promoting muscle relaxation and improving concentration and learning. Phophatidylserine is deeply involved in the production of neurotransmitters. It improves attention, behavior, learning performance, and mood. DMAE increases the body's production of acetylcholine and has a stimulant-type action on the brain. Taurine is an amino acid that acts as an inhibitory neuromodulator in the nervous system. N-acetylcysteine is a powerful antioxidant that is shown to be beneficial in neurological disorders, providing antioxidant support by protecting cells from free radical damage and enhancing the detoxifications process in our body. It is important to tailor the dosage of the dietary supplement you choose for your child based on the severity of your child's symptoms. Those children with ADHD that do not have severe symptoms may require a minimum dosage, while those with sever ADHD symptoms and extreme hyperactivity may require extra dosages as needed.



These dietary supplements do not have any of the side effects that prescription ADHD medications do. In fact, L-theanine is an ingredient in green tea that has been extensively consumed without any side effects. It is a safe alternative because it promotes relaxation without causing daytime sedation. These dietary supplements can also be safely taken in combination with conventional ADHD medications. They can also allow for a decrease in conventional medication dosages and be given to your child when conventional medications have worn off. If you choose to give your child a "drug holiday," these dietary supplements can help your child to relax and focus, which is important in extracurricular activities.

Hemp seeds pack a nutritional punch, especially for their size. These tiny seeds are chock full of protein and other essential vitamins and nutrients. Adding hemp seeds to your diet can help your energy levels and your waistline.

Hemp Seeds and Amino Acids

Unlike the leaves of the cannabis plant, hemp seeds have no psychoactive properties whatsoever. The tiny seeds of a hemp plant can offer more protein than eggs, dairy or even some meat products. They contain all of the essential amino acids and essential fatty acids necessary for healthy human life.

Nearly three-quarters of your body is made up of protein. Your bodily protein is maintained and repaired by amino acid subunits. Although your body produces most necessary amino acids, there are nine that your body just can't make. Arginine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenlalanine, thereonine, tryptophan, valine and taurine have to be supplemented through your diet. You could eat a whole combination of foods to get your essential amino acids...or you could just eat hemp seeds.

Hemp seeds provide all of the amino acids that you'll need.

Benefits of Amino Acids and Essential Fatty Acids

Amino acids reduce inflammation and carry toxins to the surface of the skin, intestinal tract, kidneys and lungs where they can be expelled by your body. They also lower cholesterol and blood pressure. In addition to containing all of amino acids, they have essential fatty acids as well.

Essential fatty acids boost the immune system, stabilize blood sugar levels and balance your mood.

Hemp Seeds are Perfect Protein

Hemp seeds are perfect protein. Ounce for ounce, hemp seeds have two times as much protein as eggs and four times as much protein as cow's milk. Most people think that protein can only come from meats, soy, dairy products or nuts. The problem is a lot of people have allergies to common protein sources. Soy, dairy and peanut allergies are all dangerous, and cause many people to avoid these forms of protein. Hemp seeds are the least allergenic of all protein sources and are safe for everyone to eat.

Hemp Seeds are Digestible Protein

The protein in hemp seeds is the most digestible form of protein, called edestine. Hemp seed protein is over 65% edestine, which means your body can digest it quickly and easily. Each serving of hemp seeds has almost 25% of your daily-recommended intake of protein. With just a handful of hemp seeds, you're set for your protein intake for the day.

Curb Cravings with Hemp Seeds

Getting protein through hemp seeds is a great way to stave off hunger, curb your cravings for sweets and increase your energy level. All of the nutrients in the seeds help your body stay balanced and full nourished. You can eat hemp seeds by the handful, sprinkle them on salads or soups or use hemp seed oil for cooking.

Hemp seeds also make terrific additions to baked goods. Substitute hemp seeds for almonds, walnuts or pecans in breads, cookies and cakes. A basic poppy seed cake recipe will be even more beneficial to your health if you substitute hemp seeds. There are lots of different ways you can incorporate this versatile food into your diet.

Animal vaccinations are very important for the health of animals and its owners. Employment of vaccines is widely accepted and is used in pets to protect them from extremely transmittable and lethal diseases. Vaccinations against infectious illnesses such as distemper, hepatitis, leptospirosis, and rabies are crucial.

Vaccines and immunological drugs are mostly available from veterinary clinics. But they are also sold in pharmacies and animal specialty stores. Prescriptions however are generally required. Syringes and needles, which come in different types depending on the animal given treatment and procedure performed, are also needed in vaccinations.

As nutritional counseling is becoming a part of many vet clinics nowadays, you can take advantage of this service so you can know if your cat or dog is experiencing a weight crisis or needs a diet.

It's very critical for pets to take in nutritional supplements and special veterinary food. There are mushy, fresh energy treats commercially available for the active pets. These foods may come in toothsome bars as well as chewable, and are made to supply prolonged energy and nippy performance. They are packed with vitamins, proteins, antioxidants, carbohydrates, and more to help sustain your pet's body and well-being.

They are also used so that quick recovery for ailing pets is achieved.

Certain amino acid complex drugs (taurine, zinc, and lysine) that are antibiotic-free are offered and are best helpful for pets suffering from mild ear infections. However, proper care must be observed when giving them to your pets. It is still best to consult your veterinary doctor prior to applying any supplement or medication to pets.

Dental illnesses are common in pets too without you knowing it; that's why animal dentistry is given attention to by veterinarians these days. Dental treatment lift tables with wet tubs are equipments used for dental procedures. These tables can be lowered to the floor and can be lifted up. The conveniently placed laser light sprayer spans further than the length of the table for full coverage as well as easy clean up. Moreover, oral wipes soaked with acetic acid gel may be recommended. This is to get rid of bacteria, avoid plaque and helps teeth to become brighter.

As for behavior modifications among domesticated animals, exclusively deigned interactive toys can be effective. Colorful, spongy balls are an example of interactive toys. You can inquire from your veterinary doctor about this.

Pets can also be infected with hookworms, tapeworms, ticks, and fleas no matter how we take care of them. Visit the online websites and see their offers of medications like the Interceptor and Advantage brands that effectively control such parasites.

Grooming your pets can be intensely favorable to them and to you too. Grooming sessions can be performed at home. You just have to choose a shampoo that suits your animals. Medicated and moisturizing shampoos can be ideal. Try to visit West Coast Pet Supply because they offer a variety of cat and dog shampoos.

Veterinary supplies are readily available at veterinary specialty stores and dealers as well as veterinary clinics and hospitals.For more information on Veterinary Supplies please visit our website.]]> http://www.artwoo.com/article/canine-digestion-why-it-matters http://www.artwoo.com/article/canine-digestion-why-it-matters#comments Wed, 30 Aug 2006 06:27:06 +0000 dog food labelsfood brandsdog foodsproteinsaturated fatsessential amino acidsanimal proteins http://www.artwoo.com/article/canine-digestion-why-it-matters proteins with vegetables, pasta, rice, cereals and other foods will furnish all the requisite protein, carbs, fats, vitamins and minerals, without all those pesky by-products, fillers and chemical additives and preservatives.

Pancreatitis and Fatty Liver (Hepatic Lipidosis) are diseases that can be caused by a variety of factors such as infection, exposure to toxins, stress and improper diet. Pet food that is very high in saturated fats can certainly be a contributing factor.

Your dog's digestive capabilities are no accident. They are a very carefully construed mechanism of its teeth, stomach and large and small intestines.

Beginning with his sharp, jagged molars, which are designed for gripping, tearing and shredding, and ending with the large intestine, which aids in the elimination of waste, all parts of the system work together to process the consumed food with purpose and deliberation.

With their short and simple digestive tracts, large amounts of vegetation, grains and fiber are difficult for dogs to process. Their systems are much more conducive to the breakdown of animal proteins and fat.

As such, dog foods which boast corn, soy or their corresponding servings as their primary ingredient are of little use to your dog, nutritionally-speaking. The andquot;Crude Proteinandquot; analysis on dog food labels is only a measurement of the amount of nitrogen in a food -- not the quality of the protein. Because of this, dog food brands can use the cheaper by-products of human food production, such as soybean meal, to andquot;boostandquot; protein numbers. Animal-based protein is nutritionally superior for dogs. Animal-based protein is better absorbed and retained and is higher in essential amino acids like methionine, arginine, and taurine, all of which are absent in plant-based proteins.

In addition, clinical studies suggest that the long term giveing of chemical antioxidants (preservatives such as BHA, BHT and ethoxyquin) have adverse health effects on animals.

As such, for optimal digestive health, it would seem to be a no-brainer to give your beloved dog a diet rich in animal-based proteins and fats, moderate in carbs, and free of chemical additives and preservatives. When perusing the commercial dog foods available in the grocery store aisles you might find this to be a tricky proposition. It seems most are nutritionally substandard, in at least one respect or another, with many failing in nearly all respects.

Diabetes is a chronic degenerative disease of dogs that can be caused by a variety of factors such as genetics, stress and diet -- specifically, the giveing of excess amounts of simple carbs. Many dog foods are loaded with simple carbs such as white flour, sucrose, glucose and fructose. These are cheap, highly processed carbohydrate sources that can stress the pancreas, leading to diabetes. Extend the life of your dog by up to 134% andamp; save up to $10,000.

Feed your cat based on their activity.

Is your cat an active cat or does it to lay around the house all day waiting for its next meal? If your cat is overweight and not very active at all, leaving a bowl full of food is probably not the best idea. It is at this point that you should begin to manage how much you feed your cat, what you feed your cat, and how often. By taking charge of your cat's feeding habits, you will be able to increase the life and longevity of your cat by making this simple and easy choice. A simple "Here kitty kitty kitty" will make your overweight and hungry feline run for the bowl to eat your rationed healthy amount of cat food.

Watch the weather!

Simply put, the environment in which your animal lives directly affects and influences their energy needs. Extreme hot or cold weather can increases a pet's energy needs and drinking habits. Make sure that on hot days water is readily available and that you feed your cat more canned food then dry. The water content within the canned food will help the cat retain water if it is not able to get to the water dish on a regular basis. If the weather is cold, make sure that you are feeding your cat very nutritional cat food that is not full of filler so that your cat will have more of the necessary nutrients to digest to ensure that it stays healthy.

Cat feeding times

Although discussed previously, there is much more to say about having a specific feeding time for your cat. Not only does this allow you to feed your cat nutritional canned food, you will also know that it will not be left in the open. Preservatives are nice, but let's not take any chances with the food left out.

Also, by having specific feeding times, this allows you to monitor your cat's diet by providing the food at regular times. It is a kind of portion-control feeding, however, most cats will simply eat until they have what they need.

Bottom line: keep a bowl full of a regular dry cat food and monitor the intake of canned food to ensure that your cat does not get overweight and is as healthy as it can be.

Buy the best

Though this sounds economically wrong, the truth of the matter is this: cheap cat food usually is cheap because of the added fillers that are put into the food.

As a general rule, cats need a daily regimen of protein found in meat, fish, or poultry. They also need an essential amino acid called Taurine and various other vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids.

If you have looked at a label for cat food, you will notice that wheat, rice, and even corn is used as filler for both canned and dry cat foods. Make sure that the cat food that you choose has the proper amounts of protein, vitamins, and minerals and not as much filler. The price of the cat food usually justifies its quality. And, as an added benefit, cats usually only eat as much as their bodies need. Therefore, your cat will probably eat less of the expensive of cat food because it contains more of the nutrients that it needs and not as much filler.

Avoid food addictions

Cats are said to be finicky animals. Whether this is true or not, cats have been known to develop a certain affinity toward particular brands and types of food. This could become a problem, especially if your cat develops a food allergy to certain ingredients and preservatives that may be contained within that cat food.

In order to avoid this, it is recommended that early in a cat's life that it gets used to having different varieties of cat food and different flavors. This way, the cat is less likely to develop an affinity for a particular brand which may inevitably lead to the cat developing a food allergy because of the lack of variety in its daily diet.

Overall, by avoiding cat food products that have chemical preservatives like BHA, cornmeal, and other carbohydrate fillers, you should be able to maintain your cat's health at an optimal level.
