Summer Recipe Ideas from Lety
Wow your friends at your July 4th BBQ!
Everyone brings watermelon to summer parties, but not like this!
Watermelon Mint Salad
Ingredients:
1 tbsp fresh lemon or lime juice
1 tbsp olive oil
6 cups cubed seedless watermelon
2 tbsp chopped fresh mint
Sprig of mint for adornment
Directions:
In a bowl combine the lemon juice and olive oil. Add the watermelon and mint. Toss to coat. Top with a sprig of mint.
This recipe is dairy-free, gluten/wheat free, nut-free, soy-free. I've found that people LOVE this combination, so you might need to make more than you thought!
Variations:
This is also delicious with feta cheese, kalamata olives and tomatoes. (I know, sounds weird. Try it before you knock it.)
NOTE: If you choose to add feta this recipe will no longer be dairy-free.
Enjoy!

ADHD Drugs Linked To Cardiovascular Events in Children
New Danish study notes statistically significant risk
A recent study of Danish children published in the Journal of Child and Adolescent Psychopharmacology revealed that children taking stimulant medications for attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) were twice as likely to experience cardiovascular problems compared to other children with ADHD, although the absolute incidence was still very low. Journal editor Stanley Kopleweitz noted that the Danish study results "make it abundantly clear that treating clinicians cannot ignore existing guidelines concerning the assessment of cardiac risk prior to treatment and monitoring key vital signs during the course."
Stimulant medications are temporary "fixes" that mask the true cause of ADHD and can produce serious side effects as this recent study suggests. If your child has been diagnosed with an attention disorder, explore natural and effective alternatives such as diet, chiropractic and neurofeedback training. Call us to learn how these non-invasive, non-drug therapies can help your child improve focus and behavior without a lifelong dependence on prescription medications.

New Study: Neurofeedback Helps Build Empathy
The first-ever research study on building empathy has demonstrated that neurofeedback can help train brain-wave patterns associated with empathic feelings. Study participants received neurofeedback about their own brain activity patterns while being scanned inside a functional magnetic resonance (fMRI) machine. Neuroscientists found that through neurofeedback training, participants were able to change brain network function in the areas related to tenderness and affection felt toward loved ones.
These findings have multiple implications and are significant for people with antisocial personality disorders, postpartum depression, Autism Spectrum Disorders and may even be beneficial in helping to foster connection in quarreling couples.
Interested in learning how BrainCore neurofeedback may be able to help you? Check out our YouTube channel to see how neurofeedback training has helped patients with a wide range of health conditions. We offer a free 15 minute consultation, so call us to discover if BrainCore neurofeedback may be suitable for your specific health needs.
