Adults with ADD: How Did You Sleep Last Night?

Adults with ADD: How Did You Sleep Last Night?
Adults with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) often
underestimate the importance of sleep. In actuality,
getting proper sleep each night is essential to managing
adult ADD.

Imagine you are a car, and the amount of sleep you get at
night is the amount of gas that gets put in your tank. If
you go to bed and get proper rest through solid sleep, your
gas tank gets filled. And as anyone who owns a car knows,
cars always drive better on a full tank.

If, on the other hand, you go to bed and don't sleep well
or don't get enough sleep, then you start your day on half
a tank. You're still able to drive, but you don't perform
as well, and you hit empty a lot sooner in the day than
you'd like to.

Think about it. When you haven't gotten a good night's
sleep...

Don't you find yourself running late throughout the day?

Isn't it really difficult to pay attention at work?

Doesn't it seem like more of a chore to eat healthy,
exercise, and take care of yourself?

Isn't it harder to motivate yourself to do those household
chores, like dishes and laundry?

Don't you find yourself snapping at people who might not
deserve it?

If you frequently have trouble getting a good night's
sleep, here are a few tips specifically geared towards
adults with ADD:

1. Allow yourself adequate time to wind down before bed.

I suggest starting with a bedtime routine. In this case,
it's easiest to work backwards:

Determine the best time for you to go to sleep each night.
Choose a time that will allow you to get a full night's
rest. Let's use an example to demonstrate, and say 11:00pm.

Next, take some time to "get ready for bed." That might
mean brushing your teeth, getting your clothes ready for
the next day, taking medications, or whatever it is that
you do before you go to sleep. If these activities take
about 15 minutes, then you would begin getting ready for
bed at 10:45pm.

Finally, pick a few "wind down" activities that will help
you relax and de-stress. This might include taking a bath,
reading, meditating, journaling, or even watching
television--provided the shows you choose aren't intense.
Spend about an hour winding down and allowing your brain to
slow down so that it's not racing when you're trying to
fall asleep. In the example provided here, you would start
winding down around 9:45 or 10:00pm.

Note: Whatever activities you choose to wind down, make
sure they don't involve the computer! Nothing will wake up
the ADD brain faster than email or the Internet.

2. Create a comfortable sleeping environment for yourself.

This might include adjusting the temperature in your
bedroom, switching to ultra-soft sheets, or investing in
light-blocking curtains. Adults with ADD tend to be
extremely sensitive, and it's amazing how much little
things can make a difference when it comes to your sleeping
environment.

3. If all else fails, see your doctor.

There are medical options that you can explore with your
doctor, such as taking medication or vitamin/herbal
supplements, and testing for sleep disorders.

So here's to a good sleep tonight!

Binge Eating - A Component of All Eating Disorders!

Binge Eating - A Component of All Eating Disorders!
Binge eating is a critical component is all eating
disorders, including anorexia and bulimia. Understanding
binging is the key to resolving all weight-related
disorders.

What is binge eating? Do we all binge occasionally? Is
binging synonymous with love of food?

Binge eating is uncontrolled eating, often accompanied by
shame and guilt. In other words, it is an act with full
awareness as well as helplessness. Binging episodes occur
quite frequently - often at least once or twice a week.

Shame and guilt often propel the resultant purging, which
is getting the excessive amount of food out of the body
system. Purging out of fear of weight gain is a critical
component of bulimia, which is a disorder alternating
between binging and purging.

Binge eating plays a pivotal role in any eating disorder,
which is a psychological disorder using food to cope with
disturbed emotions.

Many people have emotional problems, but they may not have
an eating disorder. So how does one develop binge eating,
or who are vulnerable to this disorder?

Binge eating often begins with having an unhealthy abnormal
food relationship. If you ear normally, you have reduced
risk of binge eating even if you do have emotional problems.

Any dieting is abnormal eating. Initially, an individual
may want to control weight through dieting, but without
much success. Then that individual may try one diet after
another with no substantial solution to the weight problem.
It is this feeling of deprivation of food (feeling the
unfairness of being deprived of the joy of eating),
accompanied by despair and frustration (feeling the
inability to lose weight despite the efforts), which
ultimately turns the individual from the diets into binge
eating. As a result, cyclical eating problems develop and
persist, indefinitely perpetuating the eating disorder.

Binge eating, a self-deprecating eating disorder out of
subconscious fear of not being able to stop eating
voluntarily, may begin in the formative years of an
individual with unhealthy eating patterns, or in young
adulthood as a result of incapability of handling
emotional, social and environmental stress. Binge eating
may also have a physiological connection with depletion of
serotonin, a neurotransmitter, leading to unbalanced brain
chemistry. Interestingly, many depressive patients are
vulnerable to binge eating, often turning to foods to calm
their nerves.

To confront someone close to you with binge eating may
result in relentless control battles. It is important to
understand the importance of disengaging yourself from food
issues, and that striving to control someone's eating
behavior, in spite of your good intentions, may only
aggravate the problem and interfere with the patient's
capacity to change.

Accepting your own limitations and removing yourself from
the problem are critical to disengaging someone from binge
eating. The eating-disordered individual is responsible for
the consequences of eating behavior, such as over spending
on food, or cleaning up the mess from vomiting. Do not make
excuses for the eating-disordered individual. It is
important for the individual to learn to take
responsibility for the consequences of the eating behavior.

Do not proffer advice or opinions. Remember, an individual
with an eating disorder is looking for approval, often a
sign of anxiety or insecurity. Your reassurances or
suggestions may at best provide only temporary relief. The
individual must learn to develop own judgment and
perception of self-worth - which are often absent in an
eating-disordered individual. Just be supportive and
demonstrate your love and care. Don't play the role of a
therapist!

Quite often, an eating disorder may be due to an unfilled
void in one's life. Something may be missing in one's life,
and that void needs toe be addressed in order to pave the
way for recovery.

Develop a healthier relationship with the eating-disordered
individual through better communication, establishing
responsibilities, and respecting rights (the right to grow
up, and the right to take full responsibility for one's
actions, among others).

Gradually, the eating-disordered individual will see the
abnormal eating behavior patterns, and make the necessary
changes or to seek professional help. Yes, this takes
patience and perseverance. Don't forget that it takes time
to develop the binge eating disorder; accordingly, it may
take a while to disengage oneself from that eating disorder.

Language of Food Labels

Language of Food Labels
You go to the grocery store knowing you are shopping for
foods that are nutritious and healthy. Your primary goal
when selecting your grocery choices is to continue your
weight loss and maintenance success. You check the labels
and the numbers reflect that it is a healthy choice.....but
is it? Being an advocate for your own health means knowing
how to read the labels and to determine what the
information means for your body and food plan.

The first thing to remember in learning the language of
labels is that you want to make your calories count. Your
goal is to obtain the most nutrition for your nutrition
calories. Essentially, you are spending your calories for
the most nutrition possible.

The food labels were created to provide consumers with
nutritional information to assist in making decisions about
which food choice is right for them. Sounds simple right?
It is when you know how to make the information work for
you. There is a wealth of information on the labels for
you once you know how to make sense of it all.

Let's look at the food label for a certain product we are
considering to purchase. Know your nutrition facts when it
comes to food labels. At first glance, it looks fine.
Only 250 calories for this one item, right? Not so fast!
There are three items to consider before placing this
particular item in your shopping cart.

1. Check the serving and calories.

2. What's in it for you?

3. Does it fit your nutrition goal?

1. CHECK THE SERVING AND CALORIES. Only 250 calories for
this item from your daily caloric intake? Look at the
serving size on this item and how many servings it
contains. In our example, there are 2 servings at 250
calories PER EACH serving. In this item, there are a total
of 500 calories and not 250 as it may first appear.

2. WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU? Next, look at the rest of the
nutritional facts such as how much total fat, total
carbohydrates, sugars, fiber and protein are contained in
this product. Back to our example, there are 12 grams of
fat, 31 grams of carbohydrates, zero grams of fiber, 5
grams of sugars and 5 grams of protein PER SERVING which is
2 servings for the entire item. Since the item has 2
servings total, if you eat the entire package, you would
double the calories, fat, carbs, sugars, fiber and protein
for the day.

Also, check the saturated fat, sodium and other nutritional
information such as Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Calcium and Iron
that are contained in this item.

For our translation of this food label, our nutrition
information is for the entire package:

Total Calories: 500 calories, Total Fat: 24 grams, Total
Carbohydrates: 62 grams, Total Sugars: 10 grams, Total
Protein: 10 grams, Total Saturated Fat: 6 grams, Total
Trans Fat: 6 grams, Total Cholesterol: 60 mg., Total
Sodium: 940 grams, Total Dietary Fiber: 0 grams.

Remember, it is more than just calories; it is the big
picture of all nutrients that count too.

3. DOES IT FIT YOUR NUTRITION GOAL? Now that you have
deciphered exactly what's in this product, you get to
decide if it fits your nutrition program. Compare the
calories on the label and the nutrients you'll be getting
to decide if this food is worth eating? Can you eat only
one serving or would you want to eat the entire package?
Put all the information together and decide if this is a
smart choice that promotes your nutritional program of
health. Do you put it in your shopping cart and take home
or do you leave it on the shelf?

Other tips to remember would be to determine the number of
calories derived from fat, protein and carbohydrates as
follows:

Each gram of fat: 9 calories

Each gram of carbohydrate: 4 calories

Each gram of protein: 4 calories

Multiply the number of grams contained in a product by
these calories per gram and you'll see how the total
caloric breakdown shakes out.

A common pitfall, especially with small packages, is to
assume there is only one serving because the package is
small. As an example, if you were to eat a bag of pretzels
from a vending machine, you might find it contains 2.5
servings. You would need to multiply the numbers by 2.5 to
see what's really in that small bag.

The FDA regulates the use of phrases and terms on product
packaging. Here's what they really mean:

Sugar free: Less than .5 grams of sugar per serving.

Calorie Free = Less than 5 calories per serving.

Low Calorie = 40 calories or less per serving.

Light or Lite = 1/3 fewer calories or 50% less fat than the
referenced food.

Fat Free = Less than 1/2 gram of fat per serving.

Low Fat = 3 grams or less of fat per serving.

High Fiber = 5 grams or more of fiber per serving.

By translating the label language information, you know
exactly what it all means and can make the smart choices
for yourself on your journey to health. Knowledge is power
and now, YOU have got it!

Taming Your Body For Results

Taming Your Body For Results
Don't Get Too Focused.

I know this may sound weird for many, but in order to
control a certain area of your body you must not neglect
the rest of your body. For example, if you want to have
slender arms, don't just do tricep extensions and forget
about doing cardio or working different muscle groups in
your upper and lower body. If you focus on your whole
body, not only will you see more results with the location
that you want, but you'll also become fitter in the process.

You Have The Power Of Choice.

It's important to do exercises that you like because that
motivates you to actually do them. If there is an exercise
that you dis-like, try to modify it or replace it
altogether to do one that's more enjoyable. For instance
in many workout books (which you can find at www.indigo.ca)
there are dozens of exercises to choose from. You don't
necessarily have to do all of the exercises to become fit.
Try and take one or two exercises and see how you feel and
how your body responds to them.

This is great because after a while you're able to mix and
match certain exercises to come up with a customizable
workout that suits YOUR needs.

Kick It Up A Notch.

When you do start off with an exercise program you can do
the exercises without added weight. However, as you
progress, it's a good idea to incorporate some added
resistance by using dumbbells or cuff weights.

By adding this extra weight you'll bump up the intensity of
the exercise which will in turn get you much better
results. Adding more weight is totally up to you as well
as your fitness level. You should start off with a weight
that you can do 12-15 times comfortably. Once that gets
too easy up the weight by 3- 5 pounds on a weekly or
bi-weekly basis.

Dollar Saver!

Look for quality ankle/wrist weights in sporting goods
stores. The cuffed ankle weights, with a pouch to insert
various weights are much better and gives you better
control of how much load you place on your muscles and
joints. In terms of saving a few dollars, there also great
because if you want to increase the weight, you simply
insert more weight into the pouches. And when that gets too
easy you can get a little crazy and place two pouches on
one leg or arm instead of buying a whole new set.

The Importance Of Reps.

When you do your exercises an important question that
always come up is "How much reps do I do?". Here's the
breakdown:

For Muscle Growth: 3-6 reps of a heavy weight For Strength
and Toning 10-12 reps of a moderate weight For Toning and
Defining 12- 15 reps of a light weight (recommended for
women who want to get that feminine and lean look)

Remember that these values act as a guideline, sometimes I
have my clients do an exercise for 1 minute. So within
that minute they end up doing 20+ repetitions of one
exercise.

A Runner's Secret Weapon

A Runner's Secret Weapon
If you are a distance runner, there is a "secret weapon"
that you should included in your training... That secret -
sprinting (especially hill sprinting). Here are some of
the highlights of why every runner should add these
techniques to their training.

First, here's why you should add sprinting to your
workouts. In fact, I'm going to give you 4 great reasons
that you should sprint. They are:

Sprinting can raise your maximum running speed - no brainer
here...

Sprinting can raise your lactate threshold - the point at
which your body begins to build lactic acid as a byproduct
- in layman's terms - a higher threshold lets your body run
longer at a faster pace before the lactic acid kicks in.

Sprinting can promote aerobic - enzyme production

Sprinting improves blood flow to the muscles

Which are all major benefits for a distance runner's
performance...

Think these ideas is just mine? No way, I've got some
science to back it up...

Recent studies at the Imperial College in London,
Queensland University, Deakin University and the University
of New South Wales have shown these positive results on
distance runners. The studies took distance runners with no
prior sprinting experience and had them do sprint training
3 days per week for 6 weeks. They ran sprints from 40 to
100 meters for a total of 14 to 30 actual sprints per
session. They also were allowed steadily decreasing
recovery times between sprints - although maintained a 5
minute rest period between sets.

The runners improved in all 4 aspects mentioned above -
which led to improved performances in their distance races.

(And then there's the study I've written about before about
marathoners who added 2 days of sprinting to their plan -
result: they were able to cut their training volume in
half without any negative effect on their race times)

Remember that I completely agree that if you 'race'
distance or enjoy running distance then you should
definitely do it. But, adding some sprint training to your
program can bring you spectacular results.

Now I'll go even further and try to convince you of
something even more difficult to swallow - that distance
runners must run hill sprints to reach their peak
performance.

What? Unbelievable. Impossible. Absurd. What can hill
sprinting possibly do for a distance runner?

Here's what.

There are 3 major benefits of sprinting hills for a
distance runner. They are:

1. Mental toughness.
2. Stronger push off
3. More flexible hips

Including hill sprints in your program will give you all
three of these. And, here's how they will help you to run
faster.

First, mental toughness. There is probably nothing a
distance runner dreads more than a hilly course. Seeing
that hill looming ahead of you in a race can make you heart
sink because you know that your heart rate is going to
shoot up and your pace is going to suffer as soon as you
start up the hill. But, hey, if you've sprinted up hills,
you will know that you can conquer one at a lesser pace.
This mental shift alone will improve your performance and
make hill sprinting worthwhile.

But, that's not all. Another key factor in your distance
times is your stride length. The farther each stride goes,
the less strides you have to take in your run and the
faster you will finish. So, what does hill sprinting have
to do with this?

First, hill sprinting forces you to lift your knees high
which increases the flexibility of your hips. More
flexible hips equal longer stride lengths.

Second, hill sprinting strengthens you ankles (and other
"push" muscles) enabling you to push off the ground with
more force on each stride. This propels you forward
farther on each stride. Again, longer stride length.

So, there you go. I've done all I can do. Provided you
with a boatload of reasons to run sprints - even if you are
a distance runner. The next step - or stride - is up to
you. Hey, if you are frustrated with your times or have
been stuck on a plateau, give hill sprints a shot.

You'll be pleasantly surprised with your results.

Drugs and Medical Devices Associated with Heart Problems

Drugs and Medical Devices Associated with Heart Problems
DRUGS THAT HAVE BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH HEART PROBLEMS

Zelnorm

Zelnorm, a medication that was prescribed to women that
were being treated for irritable bowel syndrome accompanied
with constipation, as well as, patients that were under the
age of 65 years old and had chronic constipation, has been
attributed to the increased risk of heart attack, stroke,
and worsening chest pains than patients that did not take
Zelnorm.

Bextra

Bextra has been prescribed to patients that have been
diagnosed with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or
painful menstrual cycles and is classified as a COX-2
selective NSAID that has been linked to have an increased
risk of heart attacks and strokes.

Ortho evra

Unlike a common form of birth control that is taken orally,
Ortho Evra is a form of birth control patch that introduces
and removes the hormones into and out of the blood stream a
different manner exposing women to about 60 percent more
estrogen which has been found to lead to an increase in the
risk of blood clots, strokes, and more seriously, death.

Phen fen

Phentermine and Fenfluramine, or Phen-Fen, are two separate
drugs that were combined together into one single
medication used to decrease appetite and help give the
feeling of increased satiety and taken by people that
suffer from obesity to help effectively aid in weight loss,
yet, was pulled from the market after the drugs were linked
to cause primary pulmonary hypertension and valvular heart
disease.

Ephedra

Ephedra(r) is a dietary supplement that is marketed as a
natural product that claims to help with such things as
weight loss, increased energy, and enhanced athletic
performance, but has since been found to actually be the
cause heart attacks, strokes, eizures, rapid and irregular
heart rhythms, increased blood pressure, chest pain,
psychosis, tremors, and death.

Adderall

Adderall is a prescribe medication for the treatment of
attention deficit disorder, or ADD, but has also been
known to cause psychological side effects, and with any
misuse of the drug, can even lead to sudden death due to
the onset of heart attacks and strokes.

Paxil (heart birth defects)

Paxil is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, or SSRI,
type of antidepressant that has been discovered to cause
birth defects when prescribe to pregnant women, and even
been associated with increased suicidal tendencies in
adults and children.

DEVICES THAT HAVE BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH HEART PROBLEMS

Many medical devices that were manufactured for the intent
to help patients suffering from heart problems have
recently been linked to more counter-productive problems in
patients that have used them. Two of the nation's top
manufacturers, Medtronic with its defibrillators, and
Guidant with pacemakers, as well as, defibrillators, have
had to recall some of the medical devices that were
implanted in patients due to faultiness and malfunction.

Along with these medical devices that are being pulled from
use in patients with heart problems, drug eluting stents
that are placed within the coronary artery to help keep a
continuous blood flow to the heart, have also been recalled
due to the arterial wall damage that is done by the
placement of the stent.

Medtronic models

Medtronic is the nation's leading maker of heart implant
devices that are used in people who are at risk of going
into cardiac arrest, and whose most recent defibrillator
models have been prone to have a defect in the lead wires
that connect to the defibrillator, and which carry electric
impulses to the heart, causing the defibrillator to deliver
unnecessary shocks or to not even operate at all.

Guidant models

Guidant Corporation who manufactures pacemakers that send
electrical impulses to help accelerate a slow heart beat,
and defibrillators that are small implanted devices placed
in the body for the function of regulating the heartbeat in
patients with a risk of heart problems, has recalled both
the pacemakers and the defibrillators due to short
circuiting of the devices resulting in death of some the
patients using the faulty devices.

Sprint Fidelis models

The Sprint Fidelis model of defibrillators that are
manufactured by Medtronic and are implanted in over 250,000
patients, have been recalled due to faulty electrodes that
have been found to malfunction leading to an unnecessary
electrical jolt to the heart, or for the life saving device
to completely fail altogether.

Drug eluting stents

A drug eluting stent is a latticed metal scaffold placed
within the coronary artery for the purpose of keeping the
vessel open and aiding in the adequate flow of blood to the
heart, but unfortunately, actually has an adverse effect by
causing blood clots that lead to the arterial wall being
damaged.

Five Easy Steps to Fat Loss and Building Lean Muscle Mass

Five Easy Steps to Fat Loss and Building Lean Muscle Mass
Successfully building lean muscle tissue can be a
challenge. So often people gain muscle only to add fat as
well. With 5 simple steps you can add size without adding
the weight you don't want.

1. Eat 4-6 small meals daily.

Spreading your calories out during the day keeps your
metabolism moving and your energy levels high. "It may be
the most important aspect in fat loss" says Bobby Hiatt,
online fitness trainer. It's also important to make sure
that each meal contains a balance of nutrients, namely
protein, carbohydrate and fat. Good sources of protein
include fish, lean meat, chicken, eggs, turkey, and whey
protein. Preferred sources of carbohydrates include fruit,
vegetables, beans, and whole grains. Olive oil, nuts
(including peanuts) and fish oils are a healthy source of
fat. If you're too busy to cook and prepare regular
high-protein, low-fat meals, then meal replacements (such
as Max-Meal High Protein) and nutrition bars (like Cyclone
Bars and Max-Meal bars) will help you to feed your body
with the nutrients it needs to burn fat and build muscle.

2. Choose the right carbohydrates.

Complex carbohydrates that are high in fiber (like whole
grains, fruits, vegetables, beans and nuts). Highly refined
carbohydrates like sugary cereals, cookies, chips, fizzy
drinks and chocolate bars have little nutritional value and
can easily be stored as body fat. Eat these foods in
moderation only. If you have cravings for chocolate,
Max-Meal bars will help to satisfy your cravings for rich,
delicious food without making you feel guilty.

3. Don't forget completely about the fat.

Despite the hype in the 80's and 90's, fat IS an important
part of everyone's diet and is necessary for fat loss. In
fact, the latest research shows that CLA, a type of fat
called Conjugated Linoleic Acid (known also as CLA), can
make losing fat and building muscle faster and easier. CLA
refers to a family of naturally occurring polyunsaturated
fats found primarily in beef, lamb, and dairy products.
Unlike stimulant-based fat burners, CLA is natural and
safe. Many previous trials show that CLA also has potent
muscle-building effects. Every fat cell in the body wants
to get big. What the CLA does is force that fat cell to
stay little by affecting a number of enzymes that are
ordinarily responsible for filling it with lipids. In other
words, CLA literally diverts the calories you eat away from
fat and into muscle tissue. .

4. Don't cut your calories too low.

Drastic calorie cutting attempts usually result in failure.
If you want lasting results and not just a quick fix, then
your best bet is to reduce the number of calories in each
meal, rather than skipping meals. A great and easy way to
do this is by replacing some of the starchy carbohydrate in
your diet with fruit and vegetables. For example, instead
of having a bowl full of cereal, cut the serving size in
half, and replace it with berries (such as strawberries or
raspberries). Using whey protein (such as Promax) and water
instead of milk will also help to increase the protein
content of your diet.

5. Give yourself one cheat day per week.

If you are eating "clean" 6 days a week, you deserve a
cheat day. Pick one day per week and save all your cravings
for that special day. Make a chocolate dessert, or have
some extra pasta with dinner. Whatever it is, after 6 days
of keeping your diet in order you deserve a day of eating
some of your favourite foods. Your body can handle it.
Remember that you can't gain a significant amount of fat in
just one day. It takes weeks of poor eating to add that
weight.
