Brain Brilliance: 60 Nourishing Recipes And A Nutritional Toolkit For Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, ADHD, Autism and All Neurodivergent Kids

Brain Brilliance offers 60 delicious and nutritious recipes as well as a wealth of diet and supplement tips and hacks for children living with Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, ADHD and Autism as well as other unique and special brains. If you are a parent, teacher or carer, you can learn how to help them thrive and live their best neurodivergent life… with a little bit of nutritional know-how. Brain Brilliance will help you and your children make the important connection between what they eat and their mood, behaviour, and learning – even if they are a highly selective eater and resistant to change. This book provides the most accessible and up-to-date evidence-based nutritional advice to improve a child’s brain function for all ages from toddler to school age to teens, and beyond. Understand the importance of the microbiome and the gut-brain link, as well as the negative role that ultra-processed foods play on the neurodivergent brain. Lucinda also highlights how to rebalance your child’s blood glucose levels to prevent ‘hanger’ and meltdowns. And learn how inflammation and the immune system can also dysregulate the neurodivergent brain and what to do about it. Woven throughout this book are gentle and respectful ways at managing mood swings, tics, anxiety, chronic pain, speech delay and learning difficulties through better nutrition. Find easy to prepare Breakfasts, Lunches, Suppers, Drinks and those all-important Savoury and Sweet Snacks – which include switches for all the key 14 food allergens. All the recipes contain brain foods which encourage optimal development, mood and behaviour, whilst being kind to the sensory palate – and they are fun to make and easy to cook. – ASIN: 1837831971 | ISBN13: 9781837831975 | ISBN-13: 978-1837831975
