Seven Day Menu for a Hyperactive Child
The seven-day menu that I have devised is based on Doctor Ben
Feingold findings that aspirin containing food, preservative,
artificial food colourings and flavours, salt and sugar lead to
hyperactivities in children.
Aspirin is the name of the drug acetylsalicylic acid and some
foods contain salicylates, Doctor Ben Feingold found that by
removing foods that contain salicylates from hyperactive
children's diets, their hyperactive condition improved. Foods
that contain salicylates are almonds, apples, apricots,
blackberries, boysenberries, cherries, cucumbers and pickles,
currants, dewberries, gooseberries, grapes and sultanas,
nectarines, oranges, peaches, plums and prunes, raspberries,
strawberries, tomatoes, tea, soft drinks. Bakery goods, cake
mixes, sausages and frankfurters, chewing gum, ice cream, jam,
jelly, specialty meats, mint flavours, margarines, sweets and
toothpastes all contain flavourings that contain salicylates. It
is for this reason that these foods are omitted from the menu.
Doctor Ben Feingold went on to find further that by removing
artificial colourings, flavourings, preservatives and salt and
sugar, that this also help the condition of hyperactive
children. This is why I have kept to organic whole foods in my
menu without any sugar or salt.
Further research has found that children with hyperactivity also
lack certain vitamins and minerals especially zinc. It is for
this reason that I have tried to provide plenty of whole grains,
seafood and legumes in my seven day menu which have high zinc
content.
Artificial sweeteners, especially aspartame have been linked to
hyperactivity in children; this is why they are omitted from my
seven day menu.
Many children with hyperactivity also have allergies to certain
foods, I have kept dairy and wheat products from the menu just
to be on the safe side, as they are common foods that cause
allergic reactions. Although meat does not cause any
hyperactivity problems I have omitted it from the menu, it
contains a lot of chemicals such as antibiotics because of the
way that meat is produced. I feel that we can get more
beneficial and healthier protein from fish and seafood.
I tried to keep the menu from repeating itself too much, just to
keep it interesting and to avoid having to much of one food type
which could cause allergy problems later on in life.
All the food is organic so that no chemicals are consumed and
there is plenty of mineral water so that the child is well
hydrated.
In conclusion, if a child has been diagnosed with hyperactivity
or attention deficit disorder (ADD), this or a diet similar to
this is a good drug free way to improve or even cure their
condition. It would also be wise to avoid produces that also
contain salicylates such as suntan lotion, perfumes, cosmetics,
soap and lubrication oils.
