Besides Obesity, ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is likely to become the worlds leading childhood disorder treated with medicine. In England alone more than 400.000 children eat Ritalin to calm them down. In 1993 the number of subscriptions was 4.000. An incredible increase! I cannot but think about the chemicals inside us, I wrote about 2 days ago. These poor children are probably full with them and get fuller by all the junk they get to eat; too many sweets, too much factory food. And the doctors prescribe Ritalin, even more chemicals.
Several researches have shown that Omega-3 helps a lot in combination with the reduction of sugar intake and cures children suffering from ADHD. Children should increase their intake of marine omega-3 fatty acids by eating more fatty fish like salmon, trout, mackerel, tuna, sardines, and anchovies. A marine omega-3 food supplement for children is an option for children who do not like fish or who do not get enough in their diet. This is of course also true for healthy children and adults. One of the best Omega-3 products is available on this WIN website.

The modern day parent should become an old-fashioned parent again. Someone whose priorities lies with the kids, their physical, mental and social welfare. Who knows where their kids are at 11 o’clock at night. If I look around me and see how many kids are being ignored by their parents and then showered with all kinds of gadgets, being deprived of any communication and quality time, it is more then logical that they need to be calmed down with chemicals. Kids need parameters they understand, need guidance and education and above all a safe-haven that is called parenthood.
