I am currently reading The UltraMind Solution: Fix Your Broken Brain by Healing Your Body First by Mark Hyman and can’t put it down.

You simply must read this book as it will make you look at all disease in a different way.

Dr. Hyman points out that most doctors diagnose a person who is sick by looking at their symptoms and then assigns a disease based on those symptoms.  Once a diagnosise is made, then usually a drug is prescribed and that is that; end of story.

But is it?  The book points to the fact that even though you and I may have the same disease, the cause may be different.

The basic premise is that the cause is usually a deficiency in vitamins, minerals, omega 3s, etc.  I greatly simply this and you must read the book to get the full picture.

But what I just read prompted me to write this post.  He stated that one of the many reasons that deep breathing, relaxation and meditation can help with depression and other brain related illnesses is because of the effect these practices have on the body!

So, first go and meditate!  It is good for you.  Second go and read Dr. Hyman’s book!
