What are Glyconutrients?

Simply stated,repparttar Greek word glyco refers to "sweet." Hence, a glyconutrient is a biochemical that contains a sugar molecule. The prefix "glyco" can be placed in front of a fat, protein or any molecule and suggests that a sugar is attached. Glycobiology isrepparttar 114576 study ofrepparttar 114577 sugar portion of these proteins and fats.

The efficacy of glyconutrients has been established byrepparttar 114579 world's leading scientists and researchers asrepparttar 114580 key to proper cellular communication and proper cell function. Many medical professionals and research scientists believe this medical breakthrough in glycoscience will lead to glyconutrients becoming a household word withinrepparttar 114581 next three years and believe Glyconutrients will soon become mandatory for overall health. Withrepparttar 114582 speculation of becoming a "staple nutritional supplement" for all 6 billion people on Earth, even business analysts believe Glyconutrients will become a household staple.

Scientists are networking overrepparttar 114583 emergence of this new technology called "glycobiology"-repparttar 114584 discovery of cellular communication! Books and articles are being published on this life-enhancing technology everyday!

Using Yoga to Manage ADD

Written by ADD Management Coach Jennifer Koretsky


Exercise is a powerful tool for ADD management. Medical professionals recommend that adults get at least 30 minutes of aerobic exercise (such as running or biking) 3-5 times per week to improve their general health. For ADDers, this type of exercise is particularly beneficial, because it may balance production of neurotransmitters and reduce stress levels. Another form of exercise that ADDers are finding valuable is yoga. When practiced regularly, yoga offers numerous health benefits, such as increased strength and flexibility, and decreased blood pressure and cholesterol levels. However,repparttar greater benefits of yoga are arguablyrepparttar 114575 psychological ones. Yoga combines physical activity with self-awareness, which promotes a mind-body connection that many ADDers lack.
