AVOID ANTI-NUTRIENTS & ELIMINATE FOOD ALLERGENS

Which foods rob your child’s brain of nutrients?

Anti-nutrients are substances that knock out essential brain-friendly nutrients. Some children develop an allergy or intolerance against particular foods.

How do I avoid anti-nutrients?

Avoid or minimise:

Refined sugar: These are essentially carbohydrates robbed of essential nutrients.
Damaged fats: These come from fried foods and hydrogenated fats.
Chemical food additives: Especially colourings.

Food intolerances

can be detected by a pin prick blood test (www.yorktest.com) or speak to your GP.

Alternatively you could try eliminating a food group you think your child is allergic to, and re assessing they’re mood and behaviour weekly. Click here to understand more about food allergies.
