  1. Because nicotine significantly affects the structural and chemical changes in the developing brains of adolescents, smoking cigarettes makes teens more vulnerable to alcohol and drug addiction and to mental illness, according to research by The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse (CASA) at Columbia University. Analyzing data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), CASA researchers found that teens who smoke are nine times more likely to meet the medical criteria for past year alcohol abuse or dependence and 13 times more likely to meet the medical criteria for abuse and dependence on an illegal drug compared with teens who don't smoke. The report is titled, Tobacco: The Smoking Gun. "These findings sound an alarm for parents, teachers, pediatricians and others responsible for children's health that smoking by teens may well signal the fire of alcohol and other drug abuse and mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety disorders," "We have known for a long time that smoking causes deadly and crippling cancers and cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. Now we see the devastating effects that nicotine can have on the developing brains of our children and teens."

  3. Eating healthy is important for nurturing the areas of the body. Healthy diet foods should be chosen in lieu of processed foods in order to allow all organs to work properly, Eating healthy promotes good circulation, healthy skin, as well as the overall well being of the individual. If you already have been living off unhealthy processed foods, it is not too late to improve your diet in order to improve your overall health. Diseases such as obesity, cancer, heart disease and diabetes can be avoided in many cases by switching to foods with the appropriate amount of fat, protein and carbohydrates, high in fiber, vitamins and minerals. There is no one diet fits all, as each body is genetically predisposed to needing more or less of varied nutrients. For example, some people need to add iron to their diet because of a predisposition toward anemia. Choosing organic produce is a smart diet decision as this reduces the amount of toxins that enter the body and cause damage. With this in mind, it should become a habit to read labels, so that you can choose foods that are organic, as well as foods that are not overwhelmed with an abundance of salt, artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners and preservatives. A healthy diet foods are not particular foods included in fad diets. Rather they are foods that should be included in your diet in order to maintain a healthy mind and body. These foods encourage healthy weight, and energy levels. Macronutrients needed by the body include protein, fat and carbohydrates. Sufficient content of protein in foods in your diet is utilized for growth and repair, while the appropriate level and types of fat provide the body with energy and cell formation. Carbohydrates become reduced to glucose, with is used by the body's muscles and to energize the brain. Minerals that should be included in healthy diet foods include salt, potassium, calcium, iron, copper, and chromium. Salt is required by the body, but only in moderation. Blood pressure can be lowered with potassium, as does magnesium. Magnesium also is used for a healthy nervous system. Maintenance of bones and teeth is provided through appropriate intake of calcium, which also assists in the nervous system. Red blood cells are formed through the use of iron. One must be careful with the amount of intake, as too little can cause anemia and too much can cause death. Copper and chromium are not good for you in high doses, but are still nutrients essential for one's health. When looking for healthy diet foods, vitamins are listed on packaging as what the recommended daily allowance or RDA. Age and body weight, as well as gender somewhat dictates different levels needed of varied types of vitamins. With the abundance of vitamins and the uses of them it is best to use a multivitamin especially formulated for your gender and age. Consulting your doctor can assist you in determining what additional vitamins would best your particular health needs. Eating healthy is important for nurturing the areas of the body. Healthy diet foods should be chosen in lieu of processed foods in order to keep toxins from reversing effects of nutritious foods.

  5. It has been proven that seed oils are very beneficial for our health, flax seed oil can do wonders for your body. But you may not know what are the real benefits, where it comes from and what is even better than flax seeds. Our body needs a high amount of essential fatty acids to function well, a lack of those fatty acids can cause many medical conditions that you dont want to suffer. Flax seeds contain one important omega 3 fatty acid called alpha linolenic acid (ALA). (ALA) is a plant derived fatty acid, that is similar to the ones found in fish oil, studies have proven the great benefits of fish. Some common benefits are: - lower cholesterol levels - lower blood pressure - reduce risk of heart attack - prevents breast cancer Taking flax seed oil in your daily diet is very beneficial and you may find it easily. Many cereals and bakery goods have flax seeds. Another option is to get flax seed flour to use in your baking. You can even make pancakes from those seeds. Use flax seed oil in your cooking instead of others. However im going to tell you a little secret, even though alpha linolenic acid found in flax seeds is very beneficial for your health, it doesent even close to meet the benefits of DHA and EPA essential fatty acids found in fish oil. It has been proven that our brain is 60% fats and of that more than half are dha fats. That means that a lack of dha fatty acid can lead to several mental disorders like lack of focus, loss of memory, depression, stress, alzheimer and more. It has also been proven that omega 3 fish oil lowers blood pressure, reduces inflammation, improves the immune system, improves vision, prevents cancer, heals joint pain, arthritis and more.
  6. Drug addiction does not start overnight. It starts gradually and makes its victims dependent on it. Addiction is simply when you cannot control your crave for a thing and you can't live a normal life without resorting to that thing. Whether the drug is legal or not is immaterial. What matters is how you can overcome the problem and return to a normal life. Many people become drug addicted due to lots of reasons. To some people, they need it in order to cope or deal with depression or anxiety. This often emanates from inability to handle unpleasant situations of life. Another reason many people cite is physical and mental stimulation. These people believe that it helps to stimulate them physically and mentally. Also, there are several other people who become addicted because of their inability to have a good sleep. No matter your reason for becoming addicted to drugs, you need to know that the habit is not often easy to break. No matter how hard you may try, you find yourself relapsing. And due to many failed attempts, you give up the fight and resolve not to try quitting again. But that does not remove the fact that your addiction has created a lot of emotional and financial problems for you, your immediate family, friends and associates. If all your effort to be free from drug addiction has failed, it is highly recommended that you make use of drug rehab program. The aim of the program is to free you from the clutches of addiction. You will find this program in a rehab. And there are many of them out there for you to choose from. However, it is highly suggested that you examine the program very well before enrolling. Ensure that not only will it help you overcome the problem, it should be able to free you permanently. You can make use of the internet to get a list of drug rehab centers around you. However, don't be moved by their beautiful websites which they paid lots of money for. Examine each rehab for quality. The center should have references that you can contact and confirm if the program at the center is good or not. If you need help choosing, I urge you to visit online forums related to drug addiction and get help from members.
