Brain Health – Autism, ADHD, fibromyalgia, depression
What is your greatest personal resource? Maybe you think that your charming smile, pleasant personality, quick mind or intellect. What makes each of these possibilities is healthy functioning of balanced brain. This is a healthy brain that allows one years to develop objects of pleasure and smile, or a parent to find pleasure in things their single child. It also allows the grandparent to remember and celebrate the birthday is great. Is having brain function balance that allows us to be fully integrated member of society and a happy person.
In addition, it is the brain of rights, especially those of the next generation who may hold the answer to our most challenging social and environmental problems. What would happen to our society or we as individuals if we allow this valuable resource for metabolic fate broken and even escalate? Our brain is the organ most complex and most misunderstood of our body! This is particularly true with regard to maintaining the operation brain optimally. When you damage the brain damage that your mind and spirit is the source for all the wonderful things you do in your life.
Treating the brain as the organ
We recognize that the health of any organ, the liver is maintained by proper diet, nutrients and can be harmed by toxins such as chemicals and environmental alcohol. The brain is actually one of the most metabolically active organs in the body and therefore it is more easily damaged by any of these factors mentioned above. At just 3 pounds, it is only 2% of total body weight, but uses more than 20% oxygen and at least 25% of available calories you consume. To fulfill all its complex functions, like any organ, the brain needs of its cells to be maintained in optimal health.
The brain is composed of 100 billion neurons with more synapses than the other stars in the universe, all contained within the walls of the skull. For a child to develop correctly or a child to behave normally in social situations, they must have a beautiful spirit that comes from the balanced brain function. For you can realize all your dreams and goals of health, to overcome whatever is holding you back, you need to create and maintain healthy brain function.
Imagine the greatest most talented band of 100 billion members playing music very complex, but orderly at a time. What if some members of the orchestra were sick or ran out of energy, you can imagine the music that are stressed and divisive. The orchestra in the patient's skull is a voracious group requiring more energy and nutrients than any other organ. This is particularly true in the fast developing brain of the fetus and infant.
Our national epidemic of Broken Brains
What if as a society we do not maintain optimal brain health, if we were hungry for our brain, it look like? Today, the disorder of the brain most common health among children with ADHD. In some cities United States, the incidence of ADHD has reached a staggering 10 to 15% of children of school age.

According to a government report published CDC February 8 May 2007, about 1 child in 150 develops autism or related disorders such as Asperger's syndrome at the age of eight. While the rate for children with autism to people around Middlefield Amish Ohio is only 1 in 15,000 births. Nearly 45% of the U.S. population suffers from some form of mood disorder, with approximately 30% them suffer from depression and 15% of patients with anxiety.
Today, the disease is no longer the most feared cancer, but disease Alzheimer's and for good reason, it is a devastating disease that steals memories and personality. Alzheimer's disease is now number a neurodegenerative disorder in the United States today, each time someone develops this disorder 72 seconds. Parkinson's disease is now the second most common neurodegenerative disease in the United States today. Most cases of Parkinson's is not hereditary, but is now linked to environmental factors. Parkinson's disease is currently increasing by more than 50,000 new cases annually in the United States.
