Hi Caroline

This is taken with permission from Scotson's news letter.. If anyone would like a copy of the newsletter I have a few that I can post on. Although her article mentions Cerebral Palsy, nutitrition is just as important in Autism.

 

Diet- 's Food for Thought

 

The hungriest organ in your child's body is the brain. Fed well, the brain will flourish, fed badly it will languish.

 

Children with newrological disporders are in greater need because their ability to digest and assimilate nutrients and remove toxins is affected by their abnormal breathing. Brain injured children, just like other children, need entergy, mental clarity, powers of concentration, strength and stamina, bright eyes, clear skin and good elimination.

 

Acidic, sugary, fatty, processed foods made children sick and tired. The nastiest consequence of these foods is that they ferment and putrefy in the body and feed acid loving enemy inhabitatnts of the gut such as bacteria, yeast, mould and fungus. 

 

Childrened with poor breathing are more at risk because waste acides left over from cell metabolism are normally changed to carbon dioxide and exhaled. Shallow breathers cannot achieve this so well so more toxic acids remoan in the body tissue.

 

Poor breathers also have less efficient livers, which means that cooked fats in formulae, cakes, biscuits and other processed goods will clog up the brain's capillary system.

 

Unfortunately, especially for children with Cerebral Palsy, hospital dieticians are more interested in prescribing foods to fatten up their bodies rather than nourish their brains, Parents are often advised to provide meals heavy in bad fats and sugars such as chips, cakes, full fat meats and cheeses instead of a healthy spread of vegetables, extra virgin olive oil of flax seed oil, whole grains, fish or a little organic chicken and snacks of fresh berries or avocado, warm thick veggie soup or juices, almond butter, rice cakes, yeast free bread and so on.

 

Worse still are the infant and gastronomy formulae that are full of dead fatty , sugary foods, addicting children to their sweetness and starving the brain of its vital energy supplies. According to the New Scientist, 25 May 2005, junk food is implicated in a slew of serious mental disorders.

 

The weak stomach of the CP child is soon overburdened with the act of digestion and the toxins that are produced and of course diet induced acid reflux). Added to which, if weaker breathers have heavier bodies there is even less oxygen to go round and the brain misses out again, So why impose this diet on our children? Knowledge is power and nutritional knowledge is power to the brain. Read up on nutrition wisely and rejoice in your child's new neergy, health and happiness.
