| Article Title :: Eat for Endurance |
| |
| It takes a lot of energy to run, cycle or ski long distances; to play three sets of tennis or a pickup game of basketball; or to walk for several hours. During intense exercise, your muscles draw sugar from your bloodstream at a rapid rate. Your liver can run out of its stored sugar and your blood sugar level can drop. You can markedly improve your performance in any of these events by eating shortly before your event begins, and by starting to eat and drink as soon as you start exercising.The energy for your brain comes almost exclusively from the sugar in your bloodstream.

| Article Title :: ADHD and Diet: Is there a Link Between Sugar and Hyperactivity? Is there Really an Effective Diet? |
| |
| In the 1970's, Dr. Ben Feingold developed what came to be known as the "Feingold Diet" after he thought he noticed a link between certain foods and hyperactivity in children. The ingredients he flagged to avoid were mostly food additives which he thought were causing allergic reactions in some of his patients, but sugar was also on the list.For years following, Dr. Feingold's theory grew in popularity and acceptance, but the theory was based only on his patient's testimonials, and a link between sugar and hyperactivity has yet to be proven in studies.While there is not overwhelming conclusive evidence that any particular food will cause or prevent hyperactivity, a well-balan (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Fear Preys Upon Uncertainty |
| |
| Instinct: The Power to Resolve or AvoidPressures of obtaining and protecting their food and the threat of wild animal attacks frequently worried our earliest ancestors. Fearing dangerous animals and strangers, they had to either fight or run when confronted. Today, we have complex webs of fears that unlikely they encountered.

If we run from them, we build up pressures that are difficult to release while cr (read full article) |
