Proper Nutrition

I know I don't get the proper nutrition on any given day. Even when I do eat a balanced diet, a lot of our foods are not as nutrient rich (due to over-farming, etc) as they were in the past.

It's important to supplement your diet with a multi-vitamin. I know I can tell a major difference in my moods and in my physical well-being between when I take one and when I forget. It's harder to concentrate or sometimes even function when I don't get enough essential vitamins and minerals. I believe that most children that are diagnosed as ADHD are simply suffering from poor nutrition.

I read somewhere that vitamins in gelatin capsules are better for you than hard pills, but now I can't find that reference. It mentioned something about your body not breaking down the whole pill before you expel it. Not sure about that one!
