Are you Omega-3 deficient?

The LCP Solution by B. Jacqueline Story, Ph.D. and Malcolm J. Nicholl

This is one book where I have truly learned how nutritionally deficient in a particular nutrient a person can become. Before reading this book, I had not even thought of whether my children were consuming enough Omega-3’s in their daily diet.

The LCP Solution gives an excellent history of how as humans we have deviated from the normal staple of food our species once had consumed. Past humans depended on the intake of fish, but today with fast food and so many other options, fish is not normally put on the dinner table daily. In my house, we are lucky if we have fish every other week.

Further chapters delve into the details of exactly why Omega-3 is necessary for our bodies and more specifically our mind. Deficiencies can not only produce skin disorders but also mind disorders, which are manageable through the supplementation of Omega-3’s back into our daily diet.

Real-life stores are included as well as relevant studies and research. The medical and homeopathic communities are beginning to fully embrace the topic. In fact, my son’s ADHD Pediatrician, as well as his regular Pediatrician both recommend Omega-3 supplementation.

Omega-3 supplementation has become a nutritional priority in my house because of The LCP Solution. And I am very happy to report that my 11 year old’s eczema has completely resolved, his language arts and reading skills have increased, and his ADHD has become manageable. I am not professing that you will have such miraculous results, but this book is definitely worth a read.

The ADHD Affected Athlete by Michael E. Stabeno

My 11 year old son is a gymnast with ADHD. This past Saturday, his coach, asked if I would share any information about ADHD with him. On Monday night I brought him the book "The ADHD Affected Athlete" by, Michael E. Stabeno.

I described the book to the coach telling him that it will give him an overview of ADHD in simple to more complex discriptions. The book then continues with hints and tips and real life stories from an actual coach.

Most books about ADHD are written from a medical point of view. I liked the fact that this book is written from a personal perspective. My son's coach was thrilled to receive the book and wanted to get started reading it right away. He said that he would share what he learns with the other coaches at the gym.
