Attention deficit or hyperactivity.
Otherwise known as low blood sugar. "You won’t like me when
I’m hungry" characterizes this syndrome. Sugar, caffeine, tobacco and alcohol
all cause blood sugar (glucose) to rise immediately, but also to plummet to
new lows afterward – in sensitive people. Because the brain is highly dependent
on glucose, many of the symptoms of hypoglycemia are mental. With this condition
it is essential to restrict one’s intake of refined and concentrated sugars
of all kinds, as well as coffee, tea, chocolate, colas and alcohol. It may also
be helpful to eat four or five small meals spaced throughout the day rather
than the traditional three large ones. The Stress Formula provides ideal
nutritional support for restoring and maintaining blood sugar balance.
