Why You Can't Concentrate

9 Reasons Why You Can't Concentrate

There are some surprising reasons your concentration is suffering.

You walk into a restaurant to meet a friend and remember you were supposed to meet somewhere else. You leave your boss's office and, quick as that, forget the deadline she gave you for a new project. You had your keys in your hand, you were just holding them, and now they're gone -- again. What's going on? Here, nine possibilities for why your mind is wandering, and expert advice on how to get your concentration back.

Could You Have ADHD? Learn the Symptoms

1. Your numbers are low. Fuzzy mindedness could signal a vitamin or hormone deficiency, especially if you're also feeling unusually tired. For example, hypothyroidism -- too-low levels of thyroid hormone -- could be to blame, says Robert Orford, MD, consultant at the Mayo Clinic's Preventive Medicine Division in Scottsdale, AZ. "If there's a deficiency in thyroid hormone, metabolism slows, which reduces blood flow and cellular function in various parts of the brain," Dr. Orford says. B-12 deficiency and related anemia can have similar symptoms. Most people get plenty of B-12 in their diet, but an underlying condition such as Crohn's or celiac disease can prevent your body from absorbing it.

Try this: Schedule an appointment for a physical with a doctor who'll take time with you. Make a list of any other health changes you've noticed that could help pinpoint the source of your problems concentrating. "You want a comprehensive medical exam, including blood tests," says Dr. Orford. Also ask your doctor to test for cardiovascular risk factors such as hypertension, high cholesterol, metabolic syndrome or prediabetes: if left untreated, they can cause cognitive decline.

Play a Fun Brain Game to Train Your Mind

2. Your hormones have gone haywire. If you're nearing the end of your baby-making years, your inability to think clearly may signal the start of perimenopause -- that run-up to menopause when menstrual cycles become irregular and estrogen drops. Lack of concentration is a common complaint of perimenopausal women, says Kimberly Pearson, MD, a psychiatrist at Massachusetts General Hospital's Center for Women's Mental Health. "They describe it as feeling fuzzy. That's the word a lot of women use. They feel like their vocabulary is diminishing, like they're not as sharp, not as crystal clear."

Try this: If other signs point to perimenopause (hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness), consider short-term hormone replacement therapy to get you over the hump. "Women who go on replacement notice such a shift," says Dr. Pearson. "They say, 'Oh my God, I have my brain back.'" If HRT is out because of the health risks involved, ask your doctor about the possibility of taking a low-dose, concentration-boosting stimulant such as Ritalin instead. "And exercise seems to help everything," says Dr. Pearson.

How Hormones Affect Your Health

3. You've changed your meds. Anti-depressants can affect mood and concentration when you go on or off them. Antihistamines, sedatives, and anti-anxiety medications can cause lingering drowsiness, and antidepressants, beta blockers, and other medicines can cloud your mind. People who take statins sometimes notice a loss of mental clarity, says Dr. Orford. A daily dose of Coenzyme Q10 may counteract this effect. As for sleeping pills -- please.

Try this: Write down all the meds you take or recently stopped taking and review this list with your doctor. Ask if any of them are known to cause concentration problems when people go on or off them, or mix them with other medications, or take them long term. Educate yourself about the drugs on your list so you can have a more fruitful discussion. Go to the National Library of Medicine's PubMed Health, MedLine Plus and DailyMed Web sites for good information.

4. You're quitting smoking. Yaaay! Two things to remember when you're tempted to cheat: 1. The more and longer you smoke, the more gray matter you lose. That's proven. The sooner you quit, the more you maintain. 2. Yes, you'll have trouble concentrating as you go through nicotine withdrawal, says Christopher Kahler, PhD, professor of behavioral and social sciences in the public health program at Brown University. It's a common complaint. But that passes, and the mental-health boost you get from quitting more than compensates: You did what? You quit smoking? Wow. "There's a lot of psychological benefit to it," he says.

Try this: The happier you feel when you tackle quitting, the more likely you are to succeed, says Kahler. His tips for boosting mood: Track three good things that happen to you each day and write about them each night. Write a letter of thanks to someone you never thanked for something and deliver it. If you can spend some of the money you save by not smoking, skip the material purchases and do something fun with a friend. Shared experiences generate lasting happiness.

5. Your diet has deteriorated. What you eat can have a major impact on mental clarity, says Laura Middleton, PhD, assistant professor of kinesiology at the University of Waterloo in Ontario. Bad eating habits increase your risks of obesity, hypertension, high cholesterol and related ills that can impair cognitive function, and being overweight or obese makes it harder to stay active, which is essential for brain health.

Try this: Middleton's motto is "If it's good for the heart and cardiovascular system, it's good for the brain." She advises sticking to the principles of the Mediterranean Diet: A diet high in fish and vegetables and lower in meat, saturated fat and processed foods. If sweets and other junk food are your downfall and you're able to cut back, magic can happen: Brain fog, energy crashes, hunger pangs may dissipate.

6. You think busy means fit. You may be incredibly busy, but if you're stuck at a desk or behind the wheel of a car most of the day, you won't be engaged in the kind of physical activity your mind needs. To stay sharp, you need to keep moving. Among other things, exercise increases production of a substance called brain-derived neurotrophic factor that helps the brain rewire itself and slows formation of plaques that accompany Alzheimer's disease. Start exercising, and you could feel sharper and more able to focus within a month. "It takes a few weeks to get into it," says Middleton, "but then positive changes happen quickly."

Try this: Shoot for 30 minutes of cardiovascular activity three to five times a week. "If you can build to an hour, that's great," says Middleton, and weight training also seems to improve brain function. Middleton and her colleagues found in a recent study that being active throughout the day may do more to help keep your mind sharp as effectively as purposeful exercising. "Anything that contributes to movement matters -- doing chores, gardening, getting out of your chair to stretch," she says.

7. You have anxiety overload. Your boss gave you a bad evaluation and you know she has to cut staff, the IRS wants to audit your taxes, and your doctor wants to order another round of tests. And you wonder why you can't concentrate? Of course you can't. That's how the brain responds to real or imagined threat. We become hyper-alert to our surroundings ("Shhh! What's that?"), but ask us to focus on a task or follow a conversation, and forget it.

Try this: If you can't concentrate because you're too busy worrying, stop and do something fun to clear your head, says Susan Nolen-Hoeksema, PhD, professor and chair in the department of psychology at Yale. Go for a walk, try a new recipe, play with the dog. Now think of one small thing you can do to address your worry and do it, even if it's just talking to a friend. Taking small, positive actions reduces the psychological stress that destroys concentration and bathes the brain in harmful stress hormones. Taking action can also stimulate healthier brain function. A 2009 study found that when people suffering from depression were helped to take small steps toward re-engaging in life, not only did they start feeling better but areas of their brain associated with motivation and pleasure that had been under-active revved back up. "And this is without medicine," says lead author Gabriel S. Dichter, PhD, assistant professor of psychiatry at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill School of Medicine. "Just changing behavior jump-started the brain to function in a healthier way."

10 Silent Signals You're Too Stressed

8. Your plate overfloweth. You work ten-hour days and stop to check on your widowed mom on your way home. You're chairing the church fundraiser again this year because you did such a great job last year and everybody begged you to do it again. You've got to get the invitations out for your daughter's birthday party, the dog needs to go to the groomer, you need a haircut, and your in-laws are arriving next weekend for their annual visit. Even if you're not super-worried about any of these things, having too much on your to-do list could mean you're setting yourself up for distractions and forgetfulness. "It happens to men and women," says Dr. Orford. "They have so much going on they can't keep up. Their minds get overloaded."

Try this: "I try to take regular little breaks," says Nolen-Hoeksema. "I'll program my Blackberry to buzz me to stop for five minutes and breathe and regroup. It really helps me take a step back, which can be hard to do, and often I'll realize, 'I could delegate that,' or 'This isn't that important' or 'I can put this off.'" Carrying a written reminder to "Stay focused" or "Get back to Number 1," whatever that means to you, can help, too. Saying "no" may not come naturally but you can build your skills. "It takes practice and realizing that the world doesn't cave in," says Nolen-Hoeksema. Working with a buddy helps. Hers is her husband. "We have a deal that when I say 'no,' he gives me a treat. If it's a small thing, it might be a candy bar. If it's a big thing, he takes me to dinner. Or I just email him and say, 'I said "No,"' and he emails back, 'Congratulations!'"

7 Surprising Ways to Boost Your Brain

9. It's just the way you're wired. If a new job or relationship is making your problems with focus, organization, time-management and follow-through newly apparent to others, but the truth is they're not at all new to you -- you've been struggling with them all your life -- you could have undiagnosed Adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). You don't have to be hyper to be a candidate, says J. Russell Ramsay, PhD, co-director and co-founder of the Adult ADHD Treatment and Research Program at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. Symptoms can take many forms, including impatience, distractibility, forgetfulness, impulsiveness, and having trouble finishing tasks.

Try this: Rate yourself on the World Health Organization's Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale. If you score high, "it's worth following up with a specialist," says Ramsay. Visit add.org or chadd.org to find one in your area, or ask a specialist in childhood ADHD for a referral. Meds work, and finding the right one is your first priority. But old habits and defenses die hard. Cognitive behavioral therapy can help you replace them with healthier coping skills. Focused attention meditation -- focusing on a sound, image or your breath and bringing attention back to that focus when it strays -- helps, too. A 2009 study found that new meditators who practiced daily for three months were more able to stay focused and dismiss distractions with less effort and without making their brains work so hard.

List of Antioxidants and Antioxidant-rich Foods
The following is a list of antioxidants, their food sources, and how these antioxidants can benefit your health.

Acai Berries:  Best Food Sources -- The acai berry. Most often used for: general health needs.

Alpha Lipoic Acid: Best Food Sources -- Organic meat. Most often used for: Diabetes and glaucoma.

Astaxanthin: Gives salmon the pink color. 500 times stronger than Vitamin C.

Beta-carotene: Best Food Sources -- Dark Green and orange-yellow vegetables such as carrots and tomatoes. Most often used for: Night blindness, macular degeneration, immune system booster, photosensitivity, alcohol withdrawal support, gastritis, and HIV support.

Note: Beta-carotene natural form is comprised of two molecules. The synthetic form only has one molecule. Therefore, natural food sources are best. Some beta-carotenes include cryptoxanthin, alpha-carotene, zeaxanthin, lutein, and lycopene.

Bilberry: Best Food Sources -- The bilberry fruits and leaves taken fresh, dried, and as tinctures, decoctions or infusions. Most often used for: Eye health, maintaining flexibility of red blood cell walls thereby extending the life of the cell, keeps blood vessel walls strong and flexible, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, anti-carcinogenic, anti-diarrhea and also to decrease blood sugar.

Blueberries: Best Food Sources -- The blueberry. Most often used for: general health needs.

CoQ10 (Ubiquinone): Best Food Sources -- Fish (esp. mackerel, salmon and sardines) beef, peanuts and spinach. Most often used for: Cardiac insufficiency (it strengthens the heart muscle itself), high blood pressure, tissue oxygenation, increases energy production within the cell, counteracts histamines so is good for allergies, asthma and in respiratory disease, also used as an anti-aging nutrient.

Note; Practitioners have also used CoQ10 for schizophrenia, Alzheimer's, obesity, candidiasis, multiple sclerosis, stomach ulcers, angina, infertility, periodontal disease, reducing the side effects of chemotherapy and in diabetes. The supplement is very expensive and should be taken with a bit of oily food.

Cucurmin: Best Food Sources -- Turmeric. Most often used for: Dense connective tissue cancers, helps liver to secrete bile, eases stomach pain and nausea, good for car sickness, liver disease, menstrual cramps, athlete's foot and as an anti-inflammatory for arthritis, asthma and eczema. See more info under Turmeric (below).

Note: This herb thins the blood, so do not take it if you are on Coumadin.

Cysteine: Best Food Sources -- Eggs, meat, dairy and some cereals. Most often used for: Radiation damage, liver damage due to drugs, alcohol or smoking, hardening of the arteries, promotes healing after surgery or with burns, helps iron to be absorbed into the system and helps in lung diseases such as bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and emphysema.

Note: Diabetics beware of taking this as a supplement, as it may inactivate insulin, making insulin unavailable.

Ginkgo Biloba: Best Food Sources: The Ginkgo leaves and seeds in capsule, tincture or infusion form. Most often used for: Increasing memory and circulation to the head, asthma, wheezing, urinary incontinence, vaginal discharges, thinning mucous and for excessive urination.

Note: This herb thins the blood, so do not take it if you are on Coumadin.

Glutathione: Best Food Sources -- There are none. This is a protein produced by the liver and can be purchased in supplement form. Look for L-Glutathione. Most often used for: Defending the body against cigarette smoke, alcohol, chemotherapy and radiation damage, helps detoxify heavy metals, is used in anti-aging, and is good for blood and liver disorders.

Green Tea: Best Food Sources -- The green tea leaves themselves. Most often used for: Fluoride supplement, stomach and skin cancers, insect bites, immune system booster, hepatitis, high triglycerides, and Crohn's disease.

Mangosteen:   Best Food Sources--The mangosteen fruit, organic mangosteen juice

Melatonin: Best Food Sources -- There are none. Melatonin is a substance produced by the pineal gland. It can be obtained through glandular form or pill form. The best dose seems to be 1-2 mcg. Larger doses do not work well. Those people over the age of 40 produce less melatonin so  they sleep less. To nourish the pineal gland, the Nikken Sleep Mask and Source Natural's sublingual melatonin may help. Most often used for: Insomnia, jet lag, glaucoma, tinnitus, and as an immune regulator for reproductive forms of cancer (prostate, uterine and breast).

Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins (Pychnogenol): Fifty times more potent than Vitamin E and twenty times more potent than Vitamin C. Best Food Sources- - Pine bark and Grape Seeds. Most often used for: Reducing histamine production for allergies and inflammation, and for heart disease.

Olive Leaf: Best Food Sources -- Olive leaf capsules, tinctures and infusions. Most often used for: Lowering blood pressure by helping circulation, mild diuretic, bladder infections, diabetes (lowers blood sugar) and mild external abrasions.

Omega-3 EFAs: Have many health benefits for arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, etc. Best Food Sources -- Wild salmon, nuts/seeds

Pycnogenol, Pine Bark: Most often used for: Prevention of free-radical damage due to electromagnetic fields (like microwaves), in the overproduction of too many red blood cells leading to hyperchromatosis and as an anti-inflammatory for allergic reactions.

Pycnogenol, Grape Seed type: Best Food Source- - Grape seeds. Most often used for: (See above), but not as effective as the pine bark derivation.

Selenium (Se): Best Food Sources -- Parsley, blackstrap molasses, mushrooms, nuts, salmon and other seafood, sesame seeds, vegetables, wheat germ, chicken, nettles, yarrow, raspberry leaf, garlic and whole grains. Most often used for: Immune system stimulation, asthma, thyroid disease, heart disease, high cholesterol, macular degeneration (Standard Process™ brand Chezyn® is an awesome product for this containing chelated zinc, copper and selenium in a natural food-based formula), abnormal pap smears, cancer and liver diseases.

Superoxide Dismutase (SOD): Best Food Sources -- Barley Greens, barley grass, broccoli, wheat grass, cabbage, Brussels sprouts and most green vegetables. Most often used for: anti-aging--SOD is a free-radical scavenger enzyme that revitalizes cells and in reducing the rate of cellular destruction.

Turmeric (Curcuma longata): Containing high amounts of curcumin and used for centuries as an anti-inflammatory and detoxifier/cleanser. The roots (rhizomes) are used in curry and all kinds of dishes. It's been studied for it's anti-cancer, tumor suppressing properties as well as its antioxidant ability. Because of its bitter qualities it is a good liver protectant. Over 5000 papers have been written on curcumin with studies of it being used as an anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal and anticancer properties associated with diseases such as diabetes, allergies, arthritis and Alzheimer's disease.

Note: If you are allergic to spices including turmeric or to yellow food colorings you should avoid turmeric. Turmeric is in the ginger family so if you have allergies to ginger you won't want to take this. With large doses or long term use turmeric may increase stomach acid levels and possibly lead to heartburn, ulcers, stomach irritation or gallstones. Mild side effects can include skin rash or dizziness. With large doses, turmeric may increase the risk of bleeding when used with anticoagulants (blood thinners) or anti-platelet drugs so be sure to mention any herbs you take to your doctor as he may require you to stop taking them prior to surgery.

Vitamin A: Best Food Sources -- Parsley, sweet potatoes, watermelon, nettle leaf, broccoli, carrots, dark leafy greens, eggs, and mangos. Whole food source: Standard Process Cataplex A®. Most often used for: Immune booster, eye problems of all kinds such as night blindness and dry eye, acne and many other types of skin disease, sinusitis and reproductive difficulties.

Vitamin C: Best Food Sources -- Broccoli, strawberries, citrus fruits, rose hips, fresh fruits and vegetables of all kinds, parsley, and nettles. Whole food source: Cataplex C®, but Ester C is also good or an acerola product. Most often used for: Respiratory infections, bleeding gums and other dental problems, bruising, eye diseases of all kinds, and for people who smoke as smoking really uses up a lot of Vitamin C.

Vitamin E: Best Food Sources -- Wheat germ (oil or fresh), eggs, nuts, leafy green vegetables, wild salmon, and berries. Most often used for: Heart diseases of all kinds, reproductive problems and diseases, allergies and other immune dysfunctions, arthritis, and for pregnancy (prevents pre-mature delivery).

Zinc: -- This may be the most common mineral deficiency as well as the most common antioxidant deficiency. Best Food Sources: Raw, hulled pumpkin seeds and other nuts, oatmeal, eggs, parsley, wheat germ and Standard Process™ brand Chezyn®.

Farting

Description

Flatulence is the expulsion through the rectum of a mixture of gases that are byproducts of the digestion process of mammals and other animals. The medical term for the mixture of gases is flatus, informally known as a fart, or simply (in American English) gas. The gases are expelled from the rectum in a process colloquially referred to as "passing gas", "breaking wind" or "farting". Flatus is brought to the rectum by the same peristaltic process which causes feces to descend from the large intestine. The noises commonly associated with flatulence are caused by the vibration of the anal sphincter, and occasionally by the closed buttocks.

Composition

Nitrogen, the main constituent of air, is the primary gas released during flatulence, along with carbon dioxide. The lesser component gases methane and hydrogen are flammable, and so flatus containing adequate amounts of these can be ignited. However, not all humans produce flatus that contains methane. For example, in one study of the feces of nine adults, only five of the samples contained archaea capable of producing methane. Similar results are found in samples of gas obtained from within the rectum.

Safety Tips

A MESSAGE FROM THE OFFICE OF ATTORNEY GENERAL

STATE OF MICHIGAN : includes ALL states.

SITUATION...

While driving on a rural end of the roadway on Thursday morning, I saw an infant car seat on the side of the road with a blanket draped over it.

For whatever reason, I did not stop, even though I had all kinds of thoughts running through my head. But when I got to my destination, I called the Canton PD and they were going to check it out. But, this is what the Police advised even before they went out there to check....

"There are several things to be aware of ... gangs and thieves are now plotting different ways to get a person (mostly women) to stop their vehicle and get out of the car.

"There is a gang initiation reported by the local Police Department where gangs are placing a car seat by the road...with a fake baby in it....waiting for a woman, of course, to stop and check on the abandoned baby.

"Note that the location of this car seat is usually beside a wooded or grassy (field) area and the person -- woman -- will be dragged into the woods, beaten and raped, and usually left for dead. If it's a man, they're usually beaten and robbed and maybe left for dead, too.

DO NOT STOP FOR ANY REASON!!! DIAL 9-1-1 AND REPORT WHAT YOU SAW, BUT DON 'T EVEN SLOW DOWN.

"IF YOU ARE DRIVING AT NIGHT AND EGGS ARE THROWN AT YOUR WINDSHIELD, DO NOT STOP TO CHECK THE CAR, DO NOT OPERATE THE WIPER AND DO NOT SPRAY ANY WATER BECAUSE EGGS MIXED WITH WATER BECOME MILKY AND BLOCK YOUR VISION UP TO 92.5%, AND YOU ARE THEN FORCED TO STOP BESIDE THE ROAD AND BECOME A VICTIM OF THESE CRIMINALS.

THIS IS A NEW TECHNIQUE USED BY GANGS, SO PLEASE INFORM YOUR FRIENDS AND RELATIVES.

THESE ARE DESPERATE TIMES AND THESE ARE UNSAVORY INDIVIDUALS WHO WILL TAKE DESPERATE MEASURES TO GET WHAT THEY WANT."

Please talk to your loved ones about this. This is a new tactic used. Please be safe.

Get started NOW -- SEND THIS MESSAGE TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND LOVED ONES TO BE CAREFUL AND AWARE OF EVERYTHING AROUND THEM SO AS NOT TO BECOME A VICTIM.

WARNING # 2

 

Some knew about the red light on cars, but not the  112.  

It was about 1:00 p.m. in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED police car pulled up behind herand put his lights on. Lauren's parents have always told her never to pull over for an unmarked car on the side of the road,but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc.  

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called 112  on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull over right away. She proceeded to   tell the dispatcher that there was an unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind her. The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was and   there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he had back up already on the way. 

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind her. One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car behind. They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man was a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes.

I never knew about the  112 Cell Phone  f eature, but especially for a woman alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car.   Apparently police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe place.

*Speaking to a service representative at Bell Mobility confirmed   that  112 was a direct link to State trooper info.  So, now it's your turn to let your friends know about  112.
