Foods Informations

Most parents encounter children's problems on why their children cant behave, why is his development slower than others, why is the child's attention span so short, why does the child get upset too easily, is the child fine one minute, and out of control the next, why is the child having bad dreams frequently bla bla bla.... Actually i have read a book on "The Feingold Diet-Why cant my child behave". In summary from the book, diet plays a very big role in a child's development. Many children nowadays are fans of tibits, flavoured cakes, sweets, milk chocolates , in fact these are the worst offenders -why do i say so? Look at the ingredients indicated. Many of such foods bought from supermarkets contains food dye, artificial flavourings like Vanillin or synthetic vanilla , antioxidant preservatives, artificial sweeteners. B'cos of the flavourings n high content of sugar, it makes the food more attractive to little children n more "yummy" too. Little do us realise that these are killers for them. There is also another chemical -Natural salicylates ( Aspirin has this content too), you will be surprised that some of the natural foods (mentioned below) that we have been inputing contains them.

Apples, almonds, apricots, all berries, cherries, cloves, coffee, cucumbers & pickles, currants, grapes n rasins, nectarines, oranges, peaches, bell peppers, plums & prunes, tangerines, tea, tomatoes.

So what to eat then? So many food cant be eaten then.. Not really, as long as there is a control over the intakes of the above list, it should be quite safe but it will be better if we can avoid it.

Initially, i dun quite believe in this till i experience a tough time wif J-Ning's nightmares. She will be crying almost every nites n was unable to have a good nite rest that she ended having dark eye rings..imagine that an infant having dark eye rings, till my neighbour told me abt an acticle which she read on the web. (I think i mention this before in my earlier blog). As J-ning was getting pretty sick n tired of the beans, carrots over here, i added tomatoes into her food. Little did i realise that this will be the cause of her nightmares... Stop giving her tomatoes, n voila! She is having a nice sweet nite sleep nowadays.

But i do still use some of the foods listed like wolf berries, the almonds - nan xing n bei xing, n sometimes apples but in limitations. Till now i am not giving her any tibits, sweets.. even bottled fruit juices. Anyway, she can get juices by biting a pear, apples occasionally.

Better take precautions then to be sorry....=)
