Traditional Healing Foods for Children on the Autistic Spectrum including ADHD
Nutrition Education and Cooking Demonstration
Learn what traditional foods cultures across the globe had in common to
keep them healthy for centuries and how these foods and preparation
methods are incredibly healing for children on the autistic spectrum
(as well as all children).
For generations, knowledge was passed on about how to prepare foods for
maximum digestibility and nutrient assimilation.
Today’s modern
highly processed, refined foods – even those found in health food
stores such as cold cereal, unfermented grain products like rice
crackers and gluten-free bread, soy foods as dairy substitutes - are
often very difficult to digest and low in available
nutrients.
Instead, we will focus on incorporating traditional foods into our
modern lifestyle – foods that for centuries promoted healthy digestion,
immune function, and overall health – fermented foods, nutrient dense
broths, proper soaking of grains, and identifying the best quality
animal/farming methods for optimum nutritional value.
This class will incorporate elements of many effective diets commonly
used for Autistic Spectrum Disorders including gluten and
casein-free,
diets for yeast overgrowth, and food sensitivities.
We will
discuss how to adapt food choices to fit within the necessary dietary
requirements.
