Atypical mom and dad, did you know that there are foods and substances that WORSE the symptoms of ADHD and ASD? I'm Joice Mazzini, a functional nutritionist specializing in ASD and an atypical mother. In today's video I will list foods that are a real poison for those with ADHD and ASD, and can worsen and aggravate the symptoms of both. Wheat: Some people with ADHD experience improvements by avoiding the gluten found in wheat. However, the effects vary from person to person. Chocolate: Although many love it, chocolate contains caffeine and sugar, both of which can affect energy levels and concentration. Coffee: Caffeine, present in coffee, can cause a temporary increase in energy, but it can also lead to rapid spikes and crashes, affecting emotional stability and concentration. Monosodium Glutamate (MSG): Found in certain processed foods, MSG is associated with symptoms such as headache and irritability and may be more evident in people with ADHD. Soft drinks: High in sugar and caffeine, soft drinks can cause rapid fluctuations in energy and attention levels, which is challenging for those struggling with ADHD. Sugar: Large amounts of sugar can result in spikes and drops in blood glucose levels, affecting energy and concentration. Refined carbohydrates: Foods with refined carbohydrates, such as white bread and pasta, can cause fluctuations in blood sugar levels, impacting focus and attention. It is important to emphasize that the relationship between diet and ADHD is complex and individualized. What works for one person may not be effective for another. But it's always worth remembering: peel more and unpack less!
