The discussion about, let’s say it, feeding children with drugs has cooled down in the public. I wonder why? Still millions of children are fed with Ritalin.

Do you know somebody that has a prescription for Ritalin? I bet you do.

Wikipedia says that “ADHD(Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is the most commonly studied and diagnosed psychiatric disorder in children, affecting about 3 to 5% of children globally with symptoms starting before seven years of age.”
It is well studied. That is why they feed children with drugs. I guess it is common sense, that drugs are necessary when you’re not as they wish. It’s sad. I am not aiming at telling you to leave these kids alone! What we want to talk about is where does ADHD come from? It’s not a retardation. We want to talk about that, because the mentality around the globe is alarming.
We want to keep living as we used to and if our body or mind fails to adjust to that, we use drugs? sounds great! not really.

So let’s hear what others say, that are not opening their medicine cabinet too fast. I’ve found Professor J. Egger, pediatric neurologist, that tells you to give your children “foods that are rich in omega 3 fatty acids and high-quality protein and fat-soluble vitamins and trace elements.”
He recommends a different diet and he continues “The important thing here is the inclusion in natural form.”

N..atural form? Let’s see what that means, i dont know..

Oxford English Dictionary: “food that needs little or no processing; (in later use also) a food which contains no additives, a health food.”
Merriam Webster: “food that has undergone minimal processing and contains no preservatives or artificial additives.”
Encarta: “unprocessed food: food that has undergone no or minimal processing and contains no additives such as preservatives or artificial coloring.”
Answers.com: “A term widely used but with little meaning and sometimes misleading since all foods come from natural sources. No legal definition seems possible but guidelines suggest the term should be applied only to single foods that have been subjected only to mild processing, i.e. largely by physical methods such as heating, concentrating, freezing, etc., but not chemically or ‘severely’ processed.”

I believe, if you found this article, you already have read about what is supposed to be healthy nutrition these days, and if not, do it now. it is a complex topic in the beginning, but once you get used to the structures, you will be able to adjust quickly to the new information we gain every day.

Do you know natural bread or pasta?

You won’t hurt your child, if you’d just give healthy nutrition a try.
