Читать книгу They Are What You Feed Them: How Food Can Improve Your Child’s Behaviour, Mood and Learning - Dr Richardson Alex - Страница 51

Children with dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADHD or autism seem unusually prone to ‘atopic’ (allergic) conditions like asthma, eczema and hay fever, indicating immune-system imbalances. Many have ear infections in early childhood, typically treated with antibiotics—which destroy the good gut bacteria along with the bad, weakening the immune system and perpetuating the problems. Other physical health complaints, including headaches, stomach aches and other digestive disorders, all fit the picture of ‘gut dysbiosis’ (an unhealthy imbalance of gut flora) and a lack of key nutrients including omega-3 fatty acids.
