Natu good for what ails ya
A young fellow I know struggles with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity
Disorder (ADHD). The clinical symptoms and definitions of this disorder are
long and he exhibits a fair share of them. In short, he often finds it
difficult to concentrate or relax, acts on whims, and can become easily
frustrated, moody or depressed. Not a fun thing to have.
It should come as no surprise that the medical profession, in attempting to
help this young man over the years, has prescribed medication. Sometimes it
helps a little, for a while, and sometimes the side affects just aggravate
things. And so he continues to ride his own personal roller coaster and
medical researchers continue to research.
In the meantime, as some of the most brilliant minds in the world look for
answers to the growing incidence of ADHD and Attention Deficit Disorder
(ADD), this young guy has discovered - by himself - an at least partial
solution to his dilemma. It's called a rod and reel.
He did not grow up in a family that hunted or fished. But somewhere along
the way he had a chance to go fishing and he's been hooked ever since. Put a
rod and reel in his hands and his ADHD symptoms vanish like an early morning
mist over a summer lake.
Can't relax? He'll sit peacefully next to a campfire while plying
the Minnesota River for catfish all night long. Moody? A week in the
Boundary Waters Canoe Area is a trip to nirvana where you couldn't wipe the
grin off his face with a wire brush. Depressed? Not when you're laughing and
giggling in a boat.
Anxious? A different pill. High cholesterol, blood pressure? Pills. Acid
reflux, achy joints, irritated bowels, overweight? Pills, pills. Now, I
happen to be in the camp that believes medication can be helpful, even
life-saving in some cases. Take a few myself. But I also happen to believe
that we're increasingly overlooking perhaps the greatest tonic in the world.
The outdoors.
Isnt nature and all things natural wonderful?
he probably needed the GOOD STUFF from the SUN! Vitamin D folks!
