What do Allergies and Attention Deficit Disorder have in common? Both allergies and attention difficulties can be triggered by inefficient digestion.
Digestive disorders can keep the body from absorbing all the required nutrients. When the brain is starved, symptoms of ADD and ADHD may occur. When the body is starved of the much needed nutrients, allergies crop up.
If I have learned anything over the years, it is that the body is complex. Everyone is different and what works for one person, may not do anything for the next. Also, your body adapts to your environment, so if a supplement stops working, try something else for a few months, then go back to the original supplement. The same holds true for exercise. Your body will plateau if you continue to do the same routine for more than four to six weeks.
Having a husband with severe allergies and a child that has not only had allergies since he was born, but also suffers from the symptoms of Attention Deficit Disorder, I have spent years on research and experimentations. When I find something that works, I am all about announcing it to the world and helping others.
I would love to hear from you after you have tried the products, or if you have other alternatives that have worked for you! Please email me at rani@keepfitnessfun.com.

IMPROVE DIGESTION &
BOOST YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM
|
One of the first things that must be scrutinized is the diet. With all the processed foods and varieties of snacks, it is very easy to get caught up in eating too many of the foods that do your body more harm than good.
If you are a woman, eating too many processed foods and sweets is like dressing your entire body in pantyhose. I once put a pumpkin in nylons to change the appearance for Halloween. Boy, did the appearance change. The pumpkin turned to complete liquefied mush within 24 hours. I think we all know that natural materials like cotton or angora are much nicer and they let your skin breath.
For men, eating the wrong foods is like putting sugar in your gas tank-literally.
So, how do you balance your lack of time, your love of sweets, and your need for healthy foods? Try to eat a fruit or vegetable with each meal. With the invention of bagged steamed veggies, it is much easier. Also, avoid food dyes!!
Find a fruit you like, banana, apple, kiwi, grapes, and keep them on hand at all times. Try to eat some with each meal. Also, add those steamed veggies with lunch or dinner. This will help you get more fiber and healthy nutrients into your body.
Drink your eight glasses of water a day. First thing in the morning, even before your shower, drink six to eight ounces of water immediately. Each time you go for a cup of coffee, fill it with water first and drink it down. Same thing for that soda, juice or wine - drink a glass of water first. You will be amazed at how much more energy you have by doing this one little thing.

| Dee Cee Super Omega-3 Supplement |
|
| Research shows that marine lipid supplement supports neurological, musculoskeletal, cardiovascular and immune health.
The omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA work to keep blood triglycerides balanced, which helps to prevent heart disease. Omega-3’s may also inhibit the development of atherosclerosis (clogging or hardening of arteries). Additionally, they can help the heart by raising the levels of HDL (High Density Lipoprotein)”good” cholesterol, and might also have a thinning affect on the blood, reducing blood levels of homocysteine (an amino acid and toxic waste product suspected to damage artery lining cells.)
EPA often works as an anti-inflammatory to encourage and support a series of physiological functions, such as blood pressure, metabolism, body temperature, nerve transmission, etc. DHA, is vital for the development and maintenance of brain and neurological tissues. It is essential for brain and ocular growth. Reduced levels of DHA may negatively impact mental performance and behavior and have been linked with altering memory loss, disposition and other neurological conditions.

| Calcium with Vitamin D |
|
| Calcium plays a very important role in the body. It is necessary for normal functioning of nerves, cells, muscle, and bone. If there is not enough calcium in the blood, then the body will take calcium from bones, thereby weakening your skeleton. Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium and phosphorus. Having the right amounts of vitamin D, calcium, and phosphorus is important for building and keeping strong bones.
Calcium consumed at bedtime will provide you with a better night's sleep. A calcium deficiency could cause heart palpitations and muscle cramps. Calcium is even touted to lower cholesterol.
It is best to take lower dosages of calcium throughout the day because the body is unable to absorb more than 500mg at a time. Newer studies place the maximum safe dosage of calcium per day at 2,500 mg.

| Vaxa Attend Strategy Pac |
|
| FOR ADHD, ADD, DYSLEXIA, OR JUST LACK OF FOCUS
The Attend Strategy Pac has been a lifesaver for my son. I can't tell you what a big improvement it made when it came to my son doing homework and focusing at school. Even his reading retention went up. We occasionally took him off of it during school to see if it really made a difference and it did! The best part about these supplements is that they help the brain function properly, unlike the prescription medications which can hinder the brain in the long run. Even if you or your child is on the medication, I strongly suggest these supplements to aid the brain and nervous system.
Attend is formulated to supply the essential nutrients the body needs for the entire neural network. Memorin provides nutritional support to aid the body in memory retention, making learning easier and with less frustration. Extress aids the body's natural process in minimizing and controlling unpredictable mood fluctuations.

| Solgar Quercetin Complex |
|
| FOR ALLERGIES
As I mentioned earlier, my son suffered from severe allergies at a young age. We were told he is allergic to everything green outside and was placed on five different medications. After reading the side effects, I was determined to find something that actually helped him overcome the allergies, not just mask the symptoms. After months of research, I found Quercetin Complex by Solgar. I start giving my son the capsules about a month before allergy season starts. You know what? No more allergy meds from the drug store and most importantly, NO MORE SIDE EFFECTS! Please check with your local health food store. If they do not already carry it, ask them to order it for you. You won't be disappointed!

| The Gift of Dyslexia |
|
| LEARNING DISABILITIES
Dyslexic people are visual, multi-dimensional thinkers. They are intuitive and highly creative, and excel at hands-on learning. Because they think in pictures, it is sometimes hard for them to understand letters, numbers, symbols, and written words.
They can learn to read, write and study efficiently when they use methods geared to their unique learning style.
Did you know that Dyslexia is commonly misdiagnosed at ADD or ADHD? Did you know that being accident prone can be a form of dyslexia. If you or someone you know struggles in school or work, this is a MUST READ!

| The Gift of Learning |
|
| Math: Numbers vs. Numerals.
Understanding the difference between numbers and numerals explains the link between reading dyslexia and math problems (dyscalculia). A student can easily see that there are four of something (a number), but doesn't automatically make the connection with the symbol 4 (a single numeral). The new book presents twenty exercises, mostly done with clay models, that allow a student to learn math in real world terms. Then numerical symbols and arithmetic functions are introduced one at a time until the student learns to work out problems symbolically using pencil and paper.
Legible Handwriting: Dysgraphia.
Ron Davis discusses various possible causes for illegible handwriting and presents procedures to correct most of them once the student is able to achieve orientation easily. Besides pencil and paper, the exercises use clay models, "giant" writing on poster paper with a marker, and tracing paper to copy handwriting models.

| ALLERGY, COLD AND FLU RELIEF
Nasal irrigation has been around for thousands of years. We were first introduced to the neti pot when my husband was given one by his doctor for his allergies. Of course, being ceramic, it ended up broken. We then purchased a plastic one, which worked well. But the stainless steel neti pot is the king of all nasal cleansing! If you ever suffer from sinus issues, I highly recommend this product. If it burns at first, add a touch more salt. It will really make a difference! You can even purchase premixed salt for your neti at Wal Mart!
