NapoliHealth.com DAILY DOSE: A recent study of 116 children diagnosed with ADD/ADHD found that 95% of them were deficient in the mineral magnesium. In another study these children were given magnesium combined with a specific form of a B vitamin and had significant improvements in school, and reduced aggressiveness and hyperactivity. (The doses were tailored to the individual child.) This is good news, and reflects the progress I've seen in my practice with these children!

NapoliHealth.com DAILY Dose: Never combine grapefruit with cholesterol meds (like Lipitor, Zocor, Mevacor or others). A recent study about food and drug interaction found that this can lead to an increase in blood levels by up to 7 times the dose! (That also means 7 times the side effects.) If you take this avoid most citrus. But Navel and Valencia oranges are safe. For more info on side effects of cholesterol meds check out this video! http://www.napolihealth.com/video-blog/prevent-life-threatening-side-effects-of-cholesterol-lowering-meds

NapoliHealth.com DAILY DOSE: If you suffer with low thyroid (hypo-thyroid) some veggies can make it worse. These veggies are called goitrogens and most are in the cruciferous family like broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, kale and bok choy. Don't eat large portions of these RAW. Cooked is fine, since it deactivates the compound that can suppress thyroid function...so you should still eat your broccoli!

NapoliHealth.com DAILY DOSE: Your doctor may be ignoring one of the most important indicators of your heart health. A study in the New England Journal of Medicine found that inflammation is as good or better of an indicator of heart health than cholesterol. Ask your Dr. to test your CRP level (C-reactive protein). Lowest is best. If it's high we can lower it naturally within 60 days...without meds!
