We are what we eat. By eating healthy foods and taking extra key nutrients that you body might need, you and your child can experience a state of natural energy, clarity and a steady mood. If you are eating excess sugar you will suffer from hyperactivity, impulsive behaviour and poor concentration. Imagine what that will do to a child who has to learn new work at school every day. With the food that children are eating nowadays, it is very easy to consume too much sugar – four jelly babies contain five to seven teaspoons of sugar! Hidden food allergy can have an effect in up to 80% of children with ADHD symptoms. Various symptoms can occur, such as food cravings, mood problems, sleep problems, conduct disorders, seizures and digestive problems. These same problems are seen in people with addiction problems. Depression is another symptom that can be caused by hidden food allergy, most probably related to a gluten-sensitivity. Eliminating food allergens from the diet may result in the normalization of behaviour, attention levels, mood and the restoration of a calm and happy person.
