Yesterday a friend of mine told me that she started her kids on an all natural diet to help with their hyperactivity and behavioral problems. She simply cut out everything with preservatives and dyes from their diet and already has seen a major difference in her kids' behavior! According to www.time.com younger children respond better than older children when consuming lower doses of attitives. Jim Stevenson is a professor at England's University of Southampton, led this research and stated that "kids can become more hyperactive within an hour of consuming food attitives."
So, I decided to do some more research of my own and discovered the 'Feingold Diet' which is known as being an all natural diet plan as a treatment for 'ADHD.' This diet eliminates artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners, and preservatives. Sticking to this healthier meal plan, it helps:
*hyperactivity
*inability to sit still
*poor self-control
*unresponsive to discipline
*destructive behavior
*excessive/loud talking
*aggression
*irritability
*overreaction
*low self-esteem
*frequent crying
*nervousness
*impatience
*distraction
*dyslexia/ reading problems
*difficulty in reasoning and comprehension
*restlessness
*difficulty falling asleep
This is just to name a few. The complete list is www.time.com/time/health/article
