Why Omega-3 is Vital for Child Development.

Omega-3 is key to the development of the cardiovascular and central nervous system. It also aids in the absorption of other nutrients. With the prevalence of behavioural and psychological conditions in children, the correlation has been examined between the rise of these conditions, and the decreasing levels of Omega-3 in the blood, while common food products are increasingly high in Omega Researchers theorize that Omega-3 may be useful to help manage behavioural and psychological conditions, as they play a major role in the functioning of neuro-transmittors, including serotonin. More research is undergoing on how effective Omega-3 is. Some studies have presented that children that take an Omega-3 supplement may benefit in some degree those with ADHD; possibly improving impaired emotional processing, and may even contribute to the reduction in anti-social traits. Yes, because of the way Omega-3 works on the brain, it can help reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. The increase of EPA consumption has been linked to possibly reducing social anxiety and shyness. Some long-term studies have shown that infant formulas that contain DHA and ARA – a Omega-6 fatty acid, could help delay allergies from developing, and protect against allergies in early childhood, as well as developing and improving immune cell distribution.

Book Review 'Reckoning' by Stephanie Baldi

Love books, especially thrillers. I personally won't be reading the others in the series, as it felt less like a thriller, and more like a drama with some suspenseful elements thrown in. With a lot of characters brought in, there just isn't room to connect with any one particular character. The written review for this book will be available on my site www.writinghealthandcbd.com on 18th December. Genre: Thriller The D’Angelo’s past catches up with them when a killer avenges his lover, setting off a brutal storm of retribution. Miguel Medina is determined to bring to justice those that took away everything he loved – Carmela and Natalia. Living in the outskirts of Arizona, Miguel broods on the day he will exact his revenge on the man he believes is responsible for his Carmela’s death - Nicholas D’Angelo. Bobby, once married to Carmela, and racked with guilt over the brutal killings of the ones he loved the most, faces to lose even more. Working with his father Nicholas, they confront a formidable foe willing to do anything to hurt them. The war continues between these two assassins. Revenge and hatred fuel the violent acts Miguel targets upon Nick’s family. Meanwhile, other key players contribute to growing tensions. More secrets are withheld, bodies unearthed, and addictions threaten to consume everyone in its path. Let's talk books...

Educating on Cannabis - From the Beginning.

How old is the cannabis plant believed to be? 27 million years old. What features do the Cannabaceae family share? plant family contains only 170 species This family is known for its erect plants, trees or climbers They have petal-less flowers The flowers dry into fruit containing one seed They are recognized for their palmately compound or palmately lobed leaves. Which looks like a shape similar to that of a hand with finger extended. The palmately leaves have 3 or more veins, leaflets or lobes extending from one point. The palmately lobed leaves have stipules, little projections from the base of the leaf stalk. They date back to around 494BC Which 3 species of cannabis do we recognize? Cannabis Sativa Cannabis Indica Cannabis Ruderalis Cannabis plants are diocious, what does this mean, and how does it help recreational cannabis growers? Dioecious plants are plants that are distinctly male or female. Typically, male flowers are only present on male plants, and female flowers are only present of female plants. Male cannabis plants are typically only grown to create new strains, as it is the female plant’s flowers that contain the most resin, thus carrying the greatest benefits. Cross-pollinated cannabis is considered an inferior product, because it causes the female flowers to go to seed, instead of focusing on producing more resin. The female plants produce buds that contain THC and are higher in terpenes and cannabinoids. If the male plant is in close contact with a female, the most likely result is a lower quality seeded weed. The grape-like buds without hairs found on male plants eventually turn into pollen sacs, while the female plant eventually can produce hundreds of flowers, forming clusters, known as colas. Growers ideally want to avoid sinsimilla – seedless female plants so that the female plant can channel their energy to make more resin, instead of seed production. Therefore, growers tend to separate the male and female plants. The next podcast will be covering what trichomes are, how to determine the sex of the plant, and what Land Races are.
