If you are a parent of a child with an autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, anxiety, or depression, it can be challenging to ensure that their dietary needs are met. For many children, having the proper nutrition in their diet can positively impact their mental and behavioral health.
In fact, studies have found that certain nutrients and foods can improve behavior, encourage open communication, and relieve some gastrointestinal conditions.

How Food and Nutrients Nourish the Brain
There are billions of nerve cells (neurons) in our brains that play vital roles in our body’s ability to function and communicate. These cells get energy from our food, in turn helping our bodies and minds to operate smoothly. Not getting the proper nutrients can lead to brain processing problems and may result in abnormal moods, thinking, perception, or behavior.
A deficit of nutrients on either side of the brain can be caused by food sensitivities or inadequate diets and can result in cognitive dysfunction, most often in the right hemisphere of our brains.

There is growing evidence that nutritional therapy can play a role in treating autism spectrum disorder and other conditions such as ADHD, anxiety, and depression. According to the Centers of Disease Control, children on the autism disorder are three-and-a-half times more likely to experience gastrointestinal disorders than neurotypical children. In these cases, a doctor may recommend probiotic supplements.
With the brain’s health driving the way we feel and behave, it makes sense to examine our diets to identify lacking nutrients or find supplements to ultimately improve the brain’s ability and how the body processes foods.
