Looking back at your child's report cards, do they consistently say he or she does not sit still? Has trouble with attention? Does not follow instructions? Does not have initiative?

Well, there are a few things that can easily be incorporated into the routine of your child that will undoubtedly increase attention span and help improve concentration and focus.
Now, you know DIET is pivotal to brain health. This blog is assuming you have improved the diet of your child by reading and incorporating the advice given previously. This quick habit is in addition to a healthy diet.
How can you help optimize the brain potential of your child?
One excellent addition is Marine Phytoplankton.
If you think about it, phytoplankton is at the bottom of the food chain. It has supported ocean life for BILLIONS of years. It still FULLY supports the largest animal in the world, the blue whale. David Wolfe, in his book Superfoods, states that marine phytoplankon, all forty thousand species of them, make up 1/4 of all vegetation on earth, and provides 90% of the oxygen we breathe! This is more oxygen than all the trees put together! They are vital little guys to all life on this planet!

- immune function,
- normalization of weight,
- cell recovery after injury,
- and a decrease in inflammation, which is beneficial to avoiding all disease.

I have to admit, daily phytoplankton has had tremendous advantages in the health and mental focus and well being of our family. I only wish it had of been available in health food stores for my older children when they were younger! (Sorry guys).
