Kids with Developmental Disorders (e.g.Autism, ADHD) - Diet & Lifestyle Tips

Rather than listing a whole assortment of foods, it is more grounding to go by principles targeting what could have very well caused or intensified behavioural issues.

Let's just get past the genetic discussion - trust in that only cultivates complacency and resignation. It also becomes a sad problem if genetics is not only the A REASON but made to be ALL THE REASON THERE IS.

Once we get past that mode of thinking, we will start looking at what other factors are within our control. Science has gone on to show that much of the neurological/developmental/behavioural issues or allergy issues today happens because of environmental and diet factors. Both are of course very closely linked.

Without good gut health to begin with, many people, children especially, have severe toxins pass through their gut directly through the spinal fluid to the brain. The ill-effects are degenerative and disruptive disorders like ADHD, parkinsons, Autism, hyperactivity, memory loss, confusion, allergies etc.

Statistics have shown that such disorders are linked to the rise in C-section births that has babies bypass the vaginal canal through which the babies start-up store of beneficial bacteria is first gotten.

These children/adults might also have more severe responses to environmental/diet toxins because they really have a more finely tuned, sensitive system.

So, with these in mind, the following actions make sense to me:

  1. Toxin free foods - buy organic as far as possible. Especially those foods that come without outer covering like green leaves, berries, and other fruits with very thin skin. 
  2. Whole fresh plant based foods - not processed. Also because beyond nutrition there is karma/dna programming attached to foods of aggression.
  3. High vitality foods - as raw and fresh as you can give them. Cooking destroys vitamins and enzymes needed to do the work of toxin elimination.  
  4. Probiotic and fermented foods like enzymes, miso, kefir, kimchi to establish healthy gut
  5. Sungazing in the morning before 10am - to manufacture vitamin A that is good for the eyes and liver and vitamin D for strong bones and calcium. Also the sun infuses the body with very positive energy.
  6. More omega 3 in the diet to fight inflammation response that comes with a imbalanced modern day diet
  7. Changing the family diet and not defining it as a deprivation situation. You are all in it together, lovingly.
  8. Cut out all refined sugars, starches and table salt that upset the body metabolism big time. Choose healthsome options like stevia, honey, wholegrains, and rock salt instead. 
  9. Engage in calming practices like routines and meditation to help to build inner resources to cope with behavioural impulses.
