“To mothers and fathers everywhere who are struggling to understand why their children…
can’t learn
can’t cooperate
can’t relax and enjoy life
Or why their teenagers are…
defiant
angry
depressed.
So what book is that from??
“The Crazy Makers– How the Food Industry Is Destroying our Brains and Harming Our Children”
by Carol Simontacchi
One other quote I thought you might like
“It’s so simple, so simple. If your child has a hard time falling asleep or staying asleep, cannot concentrate in school or at home, has low grades in school, suffers from allergies, is prone to headaches, is hyperactive or listless, is overweight, cannot go more than four hours without eating, has a hard time keeping friendships, or has colds or bacterial infections more than once a year, I suggest that you remove sugar (all forms) from his or her diet for two weeks… Once sugar has been removed from the diet, energy levels increase, concentration levels become stronger and self-esteem improves.”
–Nancy Appleton, PH.D.
“Brains don’t grow from air, even if their learning environment is rich. They grow from nutrients, provided in the diet.” -The Crazy Makers
“Kids eat what you feed them”–Dr. Altman
If my kids turn their noses up at a meal my wife prepares. They go hungry. Generally they realize there isn’t anything else coming and they eat. If you give kids the choice of what they eat, guess what? They will pick the sweetest and most unhealthy thing every time. The older your kids are the harder this will be, but it is still your job to be the parent and guide them to a good diet. I’ve met kids with a diet of 5 things. That is an incredible disservice to the children. It is hard to change but you can do it for your kids.
