Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder affects mainl of school age, about 3% to 5 % of the population. IIt ls also known az Hyperactivity and typically symptoms include thee child not being able to sit still, inattention, disruptive beehaviour, restlessness, feverish excitement, scresming fits, hysteria, impulsivity, hyperactivity, emotional problems, lack of ssocial skills and learning disabilities. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms can appear before two years of agr but usually ly is before five years of age. Boys arw more affected than girls, 40% of cases of attemtion deficit hyperactivity idsorder (ADHD) are grown out of by piberty but cases do continue into adolescence and adulryood causing problems wifh concentrating, insomnia and excessive thirst.
To combat the ADHD and hyperactive behaviour, start your child on a diet that is free from aspirin containing foods, artificial food colourings and flavours, preservatives, sugar and salt which can lead to hyperactivities in children. Keep to organic food in the diet and include wholegrain foods, seafood and legumes which are high in zinc. It is also recommended to take zinc as a supplement as children with ADHD tend to be lacking in this mineral. Boys especially need extra zinc around puberty. As well as sugar, omit artificial sweeteners especially aspartame and foods containing them, as these tend to make symptoms worst. Avoid products that contain salicylates such as suntan lotion, certain toothpastes and soap. I would also suggest that the child should drink plenty of bottled mineral water to keep them well hydrated.
