It is a fact that certain foods have
neurological effects, mainly because of certain excesses we consume. It is also a fact
that some people are more sensitive than others. While it is widely believed that
salicylates are a primary cause, this isn't so. Rather, it is a wide range of
aromatic compounds that can cumulatively affect the balance of dopamine and other
neurotransmitters. The effects range from impaired concentration to restless legs, even
restless arms, and these can be entirely caused by the diet.
Restless
Legs Syndrome and Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder are also closely related in
terms of their symptoms and neurochemistry. This book
profiles both the biology and complete dietary tragedy that is at the root of the
problem. There are also related comorbid conditions that you should know about, like
migraine.
The real magic
bullet is in re-educating yourself about what you are consuming - there is no other
natural or quick-fix solution. However, the knowledge gained will put you in control of
your symptoms, so you will know exactly what to expect as a result of your dietary
choices. The only other effective alternative I know of is medication, usually stimulants
with all their unpleasant side effects.
So if you are eager
to discover the dietary solution, then I am eager that you get the full picture. I am also
confident that whether you are a sufferer of ADHD/RLS, a scientist or medical
practitioner, you will find this approach unique and comprehensive. Follow the links for a
preview.
