HYPERACTIVITY AND CHILDREN
Some children appear to be overactive, running around the place much more than others of their age. Often parents ask, “Is hyperactivity a real thing?”
If your child is a lot more active than s/he should be and s/he suffers a lot of mood changes and is very hard to get along with there is a strong chance s/he is hyperactive.
This hyperactivity is diet-related. Certain foods need to be excluded from the diet. These include sugar and refined carbohydrates. Sugar is a known cause of hyperactivity.
However, often it is an allergy problem. We should look at food labels to see if they contain artificial colourings, flavourings and preservatives and remove them from the diet. This is really a case where fresh is best. You will still be able to give your child a treat by giving them something wholesome. They will get used to the change and they will be nowhere near as hyperactive as they were.
Salycilates (the main constituent of aspirin and found in many fruits) can be an allergen causing reactions. If your child is allergic and you suspect this is a cause then a cytotoxic blood test can confirm this. If the result is a problem then go on a low salycilate diet.
