ADHD - ATTENTION DEFICIT HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER
WHAT IS ADHD:
ADHD is a diagnosis applied to children and adults who consistently
display certain characteristic behaviors over a period of time.
The most common core features include:
• distractibility (poor sustained attention to tasks)
• impulsivity (impaired impulse control and delay of gratification)
• hyperactivity (excessive activity and physical restlessness)
The behaviors generally appear before age 7, and continue for
at least 6 months.
A crucial consideration is that the behaviors must create a real handicap in at least two areas of a person's life, such as school, home, work, or social settings.
These criteria set ADHD apart from the "normal" distractibility and impulsive behavior of childhood, or the effects of the hectic and overstressed lifestyle prevalent in our society.
Common symptoms of ADHD include:
• Often fails to give close attention to details or makes
careless mistakes;
• Often has difficulty sustaining attention to tasks;
• Often does not seem to listen when spoken to directly;
• Often fails to follow instructions carefully and completely;
• Losing or forgetting important things;
• Feeling restless - often fidgeting with hands or feet, or squirming; running or climbing excessively;
• Often talks excessively - often blurts out answers before hearing the whole question;
There is a great deal of evidence that AD/HD runs in families,
which is suggestive of genetic factors.
If one person in a family is diagnosed with AD/HD, there is a 25% to 35% probability that any other family member also has AD/HD, compared to a 4% to 6% probability for someone in the general population.
TREATMENT OF ADHD:
Experience has shown that the most effective treatment for ADHD is a combination of medication (when necessary), therapy or counseling to learn coping skills and adaptive behaviors, changes in diet and ADHD coaching for adults.
WHY MANNA – Blood Sugar Support?
How does Manna work?
Glucose retardation / Blood Sugar Control
The active ingredients in Manna are a combination of different fibres, nutrients and sugars of which Galactose and Mannose are very important.
These 2 unique sugars combined, are called Galactomannan. When taken with food it has a gelling effect in the stomach, causing a slow release of sugar (glucose) into the bloodstream, levelling out the blood sugar curve.
What can Manna do for me?
The delayed uptake of glucose causes the body to require less insulin and thus not over-stimulating the pancreas for insulin production.
This action has been scientifically researched and shown that when blood sugar levels are normal, it can be beneficial in the following conditions:
• High Blood Sugar (Hyperglycemia)
• Low Blood Sugar (Hypoglycemia)
• Diabetes
• Overweight (Weight Control and Cravings)
• Insulin resistance
• PCOS (Polycystic ovarian Syndrome)
• Candida
• Chronic fatigue syndrome
• ADHD
• Endurance Sportsmen
How long does it take for Manna to be effective?
The positive results of Manna can be noticed within half an hour from taking the product.
Is it possible and can it be proved?
These observations are not something we took from literature, but it has been tested and proven scientifically.
Studies were done by the Glycemic Index Foundation of South Africa, as well as the University of the Free State.
The scientific research proved that Manna retards the absorption of glucose up to 43% and thus lowers the GI (Glycemic Index) of food by up to 43%.
Manna also contains 17 Amino Acids of which 4 are very effective in helping to support and maintain even blood sugar levels as well as enhancing blood circulation.
Organic and natural Manna also contains soluble and insoluble fibres which are essential for bowl movement.
