ADHD - ATTENTION DEFICIT HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER

WHAT IS ADHD?

 ADHD is a diagnosis applied to children and adults who consistently 
display certain characteristic behaviours 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 behaviours generally appear before age 7, and continue for 
at least 6 months.

 A crucial consideration is that the behaviours 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 behaviour 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. 

 TREATMENT OF ADHD:

There are 3 major factors to take in consideration when addressing AD/HD instead of medication.

• Nutrition is crucial to treat and control AD/HD. Understand Insulin and why blood sugar control is so important for AD/HD. Good solid, balanced nutrition will help to control any person with AD/DH. Start with the 7-Day Damage Control Program and see the results.

• Exercise is non-negotiable. To get blood sugar levels and Insulin levels back to normal levels, you need to exercise. A nice brisk walk for 30 to 45 minutes, every day is a good start. There are other exercises to suit your requirements.

• Exercise is also very important to burn excess sugar in the blood and the hormone serotonine, which is released by the brain, has a calming effect on any person.

• Enough Sleep is very important for the recovery process, especially for person’s with AD/HD/

 
We are overloading our bodies with carbohydrates (Sugars, Starches and Grains), which cause havoc with any person with AD/HD problems. A Low GI/GL lifestyle is a consideration.

 WHY MANNA blood sugar support for AD/HD?

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, keeping the blood as stable as possible.

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.

Can this 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.
