As a weight loss coach, Paul Johnson, of Quality Diet Drops, is always on the lookout for new information in his field. Recently, he discovered interesting research on this subject: a study led by John Gunstad, an assistant professor of psychology at Kent State University, which suggests weight loss leads to improved concentration and memory.

The Abysmal State of Mental Health in the United States

The recent tragedy at Virginia Tech illuminates the colossal failure of government and public policy to all our citizens who have mental disabilities and are ignored, denied. blurred, blamed and are invisible.
