Hyperactivity and Nutrition

If you complain that your child is very active and aggressive and has a concentration disorder, consult a physician. In children diagnosed with hyperactivity, behavioral disorders such as restlessness, impatience, loss of attention, forgetfulness, and learning difficulties were detected. It has been observed that hyperactive children can exhibit abnormal behaviors as a result of brain chemistry imbalances, but the cause is still not fully defined.

Hyperactivity is more common in boys than girls, and children's distraction usually starts at the age of 3. If it is ignored and not taken under control during these periods, problems that will affect your child's future life negatively arise. This causes the child to experience a more turbulent and unsuccessful adolescence period.

Scientific studies prove that hyperactivity in children increases after the consumption of foods with additives and excessive sugar. In addition, studies reveal that children who do not eat enough and healthy nutrition are hyperactive.

If you have a hyperactive child, you don't have to panic, be observant, and pay attention. If they are more active after consuming some foods, especially sugary foods, and if they are unable to stay in place and if they have a concentration disorder, you should limit the consumption of such foods. In addition, many of the hyperactive children show much more sensitivity to salicylates and phenolic compounds, so those with low salicylate should be preferred.
