Learning Troubles/Disabilities
Document Actions
There is a direct link between learning disabilities, dyslexia, ADD, and ADHD to
a child’s diet. A diet that is high in sugar, especially refined sugars,
is the major culprit as this impairs glucose metabolism correlating with
hyperactivity, concentration and memory issues, and lethargy. Feed your child
whole foods as described in this section, and make sure he/she eats often,
every 3-4 hours, to sustain blood sugar levels. Many kids with learning troubles are
sensitive to food colorings/dyes, the most common being red and blue food dyes. Food
allergies are very common in these situations too.
Sometimes what may appear to be a learning issue is due to your child’s learning style. They may not be in the proper placement or school environment compatible to their learning. Consider evaluating your child’s educational environment.
Addressing your child’s dietary and environmental issues most often leads to a correction of his or her learning issues, or at least a substantial improvement. Drugs should be a last resort when all else has been exhausted.
