The Worst Foods For A Hyperactive Toddler Or Child

Breakfast Cereals

Breakfast cereals with fun characters and bright colors are often used as a marketing ploy to target children so they will convince their parents to purchase it for them. Many breakfast cereals contain a variety of different colored dyes linked to cancer, ADHD and neurological damage. Numerous breakfast cereals are also high in refined sugar, which can lead to obesity, diabetes, and autoimmune conditions later on in life. Parents should try to avoid the brightly colored choices and should opt for whole wheat cereals that do not contain artificial colors, preservatives or flavors. Remember to always read the label, and if in doubt, feed your child whole grain oatmeal or steel oats with fresh fruit to start their day off right.
