multicolored candies and canned fruit juices may seem harmless and safe for children to consume, but they contain synthetic food additives with hyperactivity attention deficit may trigger in some children. The first physician to observe this phenomenon, Dr. Benjamin Feingold in 1960, noted that children after an aggressive consuming food containing artificial additives. In those years he began working on the development of the Feingold diet, based on new research that showed how artificial additives contributed to learning problems (cognitive problems, attention span), health problems (insomnia, gastrointestinal problems), and other behaviors, comorbidity ADHD.
Since book on the Feingold diet was published in 1970, the Feingold Association reported that 90% of the diet of children was able to overcome their symptoms. As with any plan for an alternative treatment for ADHD, there will be a small percentage who do not respond to the Feingold diet. However, the Feingold diet is one of the most complex and highly recommended schemes of ADHD and its high success rate suggests that it can do for the child, too.Perhaps contribute to the success of the Feingold diet Is that is a plan holistic treatment, unlike that of a simple elimination diet.
Even non-food items with some chemicals and synthetic substances prohibited.With scheme Feingold following articles on food and non-food are gradually removed from the diet or the presence of children: the artificial feeding coloringAll synthetic dyes approved by the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act prohibited in food. Despite the fact that some passed a security check, the FDA has not yet determined how the brain synthetic colors and influence the behavior of children. You can easily find the ingredients artificial colors on a label, because they are characterized by color and number (eg, sun yellow 5, red 40).
The child must also stop all vitamins, cosmetics, toothpaste and other products that use artificial coloring.Artificial flavoringsDid know that artificial flavors are made up of thousands of synthetic chemicals that would not otherwise would feed your baby? For example, artificial vanilla is made from paper mill waste. All foods with artificial flavors, including MSG, sulphites and benzoates, are removed from diet.Aspartame, or the artificial sweetener NutraSweet and used to provide equal opportunities, is also prohibited under the scheme.
Nutritionists have recently discovered that the number of amino acids in aspartame affects the body and reduces the production of serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine. There are at least 92 adverse reactions and health problems associated with use of long-term conservation aspartame.Artificial The most common chemical preservatives today – BHA, BHT and TBHQ – are petroleum based and are known to cause ADHD symptoms. However, the food industry continues to use them because they are powerful antioxidants that prevent food from spoiling and are cheaper alternatives to natural resources antioxidants.
The Feingold Association recommends slowly removing each additive in both (eg, by removing food color artificial, or foods with artificial preservatives, etc..) Keep a food diary and write down the foods the child is kidnapped and the answer will help you keep track of all improvements. If the child does not respond positively to one week, removal of hydrolysed vegetable protein, calcium propionate (found in cakes and breads and cakes), wheat or corn syrup (soft drinks and other sweet foods) and sodium nitrate (sausages and salami).
