I thought I'd share some news coming about about treating children with epilepsy. It is based on a diet called the ketogenic diet and is based on a high fat, low carb way of eating.

At first I was thinking Atkins? South Beach? But this has nothing to do with 'diet' in terms of weight loss.

This is a doctor prescribed diet that has been seen to reduce seizures in children.

Sugar is banned completely from this diet (completely! not even regular cough syrup is allowed!) and portion are kept small to decrease the chance of weight gain (since the diet is high in fat).

We all know to consume calcium for good, strong, healthy bones. Many of us also know that consuming Vitamin D helps our body absorb calcium, which can also promote the development of healthy, strong bones. (Vitamin D can be found in milk, fatty fish, dark leafy vegetables…and sunlight!).
