Читать книгу They Are What You Feed Them: How Food Can Improve Your Child’s Behaviour, Mood and Learning - Dr Richardson Alex - Страница 53

If your child is underachieving because of his behaviour or learning difficulties, it’s understandable that he may suffer anxiety, loss of self-esteem or even depression. Mood swings or temper outbursts may reflect the sheer frustration he feels. However, some factors—including diet—could contribute to both the behavioural/learning difficulties and the emotional ones. The evidence that nutrition affects mental health has recently been reviewed by two UK charities as part of a campaign to raise public and professional awareness of these links.¹⁵

‘I’ve spent the last few years to-ing and fro-ing between the GP, the specialist and the educational psychologist.

My son is changing physically and emotionally for the better since we changed his diet.’mdash; Jo
