ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is becoming more and more prevalent as a diagnosis in today’s youth. The most common treatment is typically medication. While beneficial, medication comes with side effects and can be more extreme depending on the child’s age.
Recent studies have shown that massage actually increases attentiveness (Touch Research Institute of Miami). While the exact causes of ADHD are not know, children with this disorder experience larger amounts of energy with know stimulus or outlet. Research has shown that the brains of ADHD children handle neurotransmitters (such as dopamine, serotonin, and adrenaline) differently from their peers.(Medline Plus, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). According to Jay Gordon, M.D., a “deficiency in central nervous system dopamine probably causes many, if not most, of the problems associated with ADHD.”
Massage can encourage calm and reduce a child’s need to fidget or be nervous. Massage and touch in itself can increase production and reception of seratonin which may help the imbalance that ADHD children experience. Overall, massage has been shown to have a positive impact on the wellness of mind and body of both children and adults.

Eating disorders are extremely prevalent in the United States. In fact, according to the National Eating Disorders Association, ”in the United States, as many as 10 million females and 1 million males are fighting a life and death battle with an eating disorder such as anorexia or bulimia. Millions more are struggling with binge eating disorder.”
There are several treatment options, from cognitive therapy to medication. Research has even recently shown that massage has actually been proven to increase chances of recovery in individuals suffering from an eating disorder. In addition to other treatment, massage can be the needed factor to secure recovery.
Massage relaxes and releases stress in individuals that suffer from an eating disorder. The act of massage increases dopamine (a feel good neurotransmitter) and reduces cortisol (related to stress) according to studies by the Touch Research Institute. As a result, patients experience more satisfaction, less depression, and a greater body awareness.
If you or someone you know suffers from an eating disorder, NEDA is a wonderful tool for treatment and help.
Achieving happiness and healthiness can often feel like a daunting feat or yet another task on the to-do list. Ironically, this perspective is what limits us from actually achieving happiness or healthiness. We intimidate ourselves and can easily convince ourselves to give up before we even try.
The truth is that happiness and healthiness are readily available all the time and any time. In fact, simple, little things can optimize wellness and boost your mood. In this video, Jessica Cassity, author of Better Each Day, shares simple tips to be happy and be healthy. Sound to good to be true? Studies show that even wearing a little red can boost your mood and make you more desirable to the opposite sex.
Massage is definitely relaxing, but its benefits are numerous. The American Massage Therapy Association has actually found that many consumers are beginning to integrate massage therapy into their health maintenance routines. Massage therapy can increase overall wellness in a variety of forms. In fact, even conditions that are typically prescribed pills and medications, can actually be tackled with the healing therapy of touch.
Some examples of these conditions are blood pressure, migraine headaches, insomnia and stress. Massage has been proven to lower blood pressure, reduce migraine headaches, promote healthy sleep and release stress. It is incredible that massage is a proven (natural) treatment of these conditions.
In addition to the above, massage also enhances immunity, reduces back pain and has even been proved to reduce the symptoms of carpel tunnel syndrome. Even more miraculous, massage actually encourages the growth and development of premature babies.
Indulging in delicious foods has become a part of the Holiday season. Unfortunately, over indulgence is too easy and can result in lower energy levels and a larger waist line before the new year is even upon us. From holiday parties to treats at the office to family dinner on the holiday itself, tempting eats are everywhere.
Luckily, Heather Christo, Chef & Entertaining expert shares her favorite healthy (and delicious!) holiday recipes with ABC News on Healthy Living. This year, whether you are the host or simply a guest, one of these delightful recipes can be a saving grace and pass to wellness in this season of over-indulgence.
Massage can be beneficial to relax the body, mind, and soul. It can ease tension in your muscles and provide rejuvenation in your day. In turn, massage is increasing the levels of dopamine (a neurotransmitter that helps control the brain’s reward and pleasure centers) as well as the values of seratonin (a neurotransmitter popularly thought to contribute to feelings of well being and happiness).
Amazingly, this has been proven in two studies of extreme situations. In one study, conducted by the Touch Research Institute at the University of Miami, 34 women with Stage 1/2 breast cancer were divided into two groups. One group received 30 minutes of massage, three times a week an a control group that received no massage. In the long term, the massage group showed increased urinary dopamine levels, seratonin values, Natural Killer cells, and lymphocytes. All of the above which help to increase immunity and wellness, an amazing and incredible factor in the body of someone attempting to battle off breast cancer. See the full research here.
In another amazing study, by the same institute, 24 HIV-positive adolescents were randomly divided into two groups. One group received massage and other progressive muscle relaxation two times a week for 3 month, the others did not. The results illustrated an increase in Natural Killer cells and improved HIV disease progression markers. In essence, massage therapy and muscle relaxation increased the immunity in an immune disease patient, even to the point of slowing the progression of their disease, an incredible discovery. Read the full research here.
