Language: English

A self-help approach for the management of hyperactive children using a nutritional dietary approach.

Research in the UK shows that a high proportion of hyperactive children, many of whom are boys, are born in to families where allergies are common. Environmental pollutants, chemical sensitivities, food intolerances including food additives, and nutritional deficiencies can cause a cascade of severe problems.

Crying and screaming in young babies, sleep problems, disruptive and uncooperative behaviour, poor co-ordination and concentration are all symptoms of hyperactivity. This book clearly explains what hyperactivity is, what is contributing to symptoms and how you can make changes. It includes important advice about:


How a wholefood diet can help, including menu suggestions and simple recipes.

Environmental, chemical reactions, food allergies and nutritional imbalances, their effects on wellbeing.

Management ideas for hyperactive children.

Prevention of hyperactivity.
