 MAKING CHANGES: Nothing here today, keep moving . . .

 FACT OR FICTION: Reader’s Digest aptly named a column in their magazine many  years ago. Although it was just a title, it turns out that it was rather prophetic.

In The News

The largest imaging study of brain disorders was published in The Lancet, demonstrating there are five areas of the brain with distinct differences in people who have ADHD. These differences were more distinct in children than in adults.

More than 3,200 people participating in the study that proves ADHD is triggered by brain structure changes and not psychological problems or poor parenting. Previous studies linked brain volume with the disorder, which this study also confirmed. The researchers believe the results of the study suggest those with ADHD have areas of the brain that develop more slowly.

Fact or Fiction?

Reader’s Digest had it right all those years they ran their “Laughter is the Best Medicine” column. Laughing does more than just make you feel good.  It can lower your blood pressure, reduce your levels of cortisol (stress hormone), fun exercise for your abs, improves your cardiac health, boosts your T-cells that supports your immune system, and triggers the release of endorphins or painkillers in your body. So, the next time you pass up a good comedy show, think twice - laughter really is good medicine.

Have a wonderful day!
