Focus TV Network with the Lisa Carra of Zinc Nutrition . And we're going to talk about why food is so important with our Children and their behavioral issues . Thanks so much Lisa for talking about this very important issue with us today .
Thanks for having me . I mean , I didn't understand that food really could make a difference um with our children's behavior and how , how is that ? I mean , what's the link ?
Absolutely . If you were to compare a child that eats a whole foods , a low grain , whole foods , high fat diet to a child , same age , same , same environment that eats a diet high in processed foods and refined sugars . They will act and learn completely differently .
I mean , there's a large spectrum and it even , you know , gets us extreme into the , you know , into the autism spectrum as well . And many times those Children have a diet higher in processed foods and refined sugar and refined grain products . Um , and they oftentimes start their day with a high , um processed or high carbohydrate food source .
Everything from um hyperactivity to various learning disabilities or just um a basic interaction with , with other Children . Um If you're struggling with that , with your child , I would definitely look at exactly what , what he or she is consuming . Um because that could definitely add , add to the problem and it could definitely help it as well if you change that food .
