Food Additives may make your kids misbehave.

Researchers at the University of Southampton in the UK found that artificial food coloring and sodium benzoate preservatives are directly linked to increased hyperactivity in children. The additives included Yellow #5, Yellow #6, Red #40, and sodium benzoate, which are commonly found in packaged foods in the United States, but the researchers don't know if it's a combination of the chemicals or if there's a single one that's the primary culprit.

Are you addicted to sugar?

It stimulates release of neurotransmitters in the brain such as dopamine and serotonin, in a similar manner as alcohol, cocaine and other drugs of abuse.

Here are some ideas to make it easier getting a sugar problem under control

Keep sugar and sugar products out of the house.
Eat enough healthy foods to satisfy your hunger.
Eat three regular meals each day that combine complex carbohydrates (vegetables, whole grains, and fruits) lean protein, and healthy fats. This will help you maintain a steady blood sugar level throughout the day.
Drink plenty of water.
When craving sweets - eat greens; broccoli, spinach, chard etc and eat a protein; eggs, cheese or some meat. It will satisfy the cravings.
Take a multivitamin and mineral supplement. Chromium Picolinate and L-Glutamine help to reduce cravings for some. Also this worked Excellent for me Niacinamide B-3 and L-Tryptophan.
Get regular exercise plenty of sunlight, and adequate sleep to reduce sugar cravings.

Learn to identify cravings rooted in STRESS or Anxiety.

Alternative Stress Management: take a walk, call a friend, read a book, play with your pet, watch a movie.
Breathe and inhale Appetite Balance Essential Oil Blend, meditate, listen to music or take a hot bath.
Relaxation helps to balance your blood sugar and reduce cravings.

A sugar loaded diet can take its toll on your waistline, but now experts also believe it can make your skin dull and wrinkled too. To blame is a natural process known as glycation, in which the sugar in your bloodstream attaches to proteins to form harmful new molecules called advanced glycation end products (AGEs, for short). The more sugar you eat, the more AGEs you develop; these damage surrounding proteins like collagen and elastin, which keep skin firm and elastic. Once damaged, springy and resilient collagen and elastin become dry and brittle, leading to wrinkles and sagging. These aging effects start at about age 35 and increase rapidly after that.
