Research has found that
many children and young adults with ADHD/ADD are deficient in zinc.
Zinc is found in the brain's hippocampus and interacts with other
chemicals to send messages to the sensory brain center, enhancing
memory and thinking skills. It has a significant effect on visual
memory, learning, emotional and behavioral state and overall cognitive
function. A deficiency may result in learning impairments, poor memory
and emotional and behavioral problems. A
study carried out on 135 males aged between 3 and 20 with a history of
aggressive behavior found that many of the subjects were likely to have
high levels of copper and low levels of zinc compared with
non-aggressive people. Zinc and copper compete for absorption. Because
of this inverse relationship, zinc supplements can be effective for
lowering copper levels. Proper mineral balance is essential for the
production of chemical signals in the brain that influence behavior.
Both copper and zinc tend to be concentrated in the hippocampus of the
brain, which is the area known to be associated with stress response. Since
it usually takes two to three months to overcome a copper-zinc
imbalance, treatment with zinc supplements should be continued for a
minimum of four months before determining effectiveness. Zinc
deficiency can result from exposure to heavy metal toxins, such as
cadmium (usually from exposure to cigarette smoke) and lead, which
prevent its absorption. Poor dietary habits such as excessive
consumption of sugar or carbohydrates are also known to reduce zinc
absorption.

Aw, this was an extremely good post. Taking a few minutes and actual effort to produce a great article… but what can I say… I procrastinate a lot and never seem to get nearly anything done.

When I originally commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added" checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get several emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service? Thanks!

I have been browsing online greater than three hours today, yet I by no means found any attention-grabbing article like yours. It's beautiful value enough for me. In my opinion, if all site owners and bloggers made excellent content material as you did, the web might be much more helpful than ever before.
