Why Isn’t My Kid Eating His Fruit?
Giene… The thought of my five year old son chewing on his sliced banana and nipping at the heels of his slicedapple makes me cry.
First of all, he doesn’t need to chew on things, he can chew on his containers. Also, the thought of washing his teeth and gagging while I hold his mouth full of chunked, raw banana is not only a possible waste of his daily allergy medication,his behavior and mood are symptoms of constipation.
Potassium deficiency causes behavioral changes. Most children who suffer from behavior problems like hyperactivity, are practically using their food to replace the lack of nutrition and the lack of exercise. Not only this, they are dripping with carbohydrates and are thus, flattening their stomachs with the help of abdominal exercises. The behavior changes that this dietary change causes are best summed up by the phrase a little of what’s needed to chew better.
I mentioned earlier the powerful effect that constipation has on behavior and mood. This relates to a toxin that results from the waste products in the colon. This toxin has a way of relaxing the smooth muscles of the intestines- alright, I understand, not so much as that. These muscles are meant to move in smooth viscous material. These toxins result in some of these muscles being permanently frozen. The smooth muscle is the safest one, and the slowest to relax. These are the muscles that give the child great joy in life. These are also the muscles that contract under heavy weights during gym activities.
These are the organs, and I am referring to the ones that carry the waste, not because you have to have a Colonoscopy. Many, mostly older men, constantly feel as if their bowels are stuck. Sometimes, even during sex, men don’t want to have another erection. My theory is that this feeling of discomfort and inconvenience is the result of too much constipation. If this is the case, constipation feels like a great inconvenience.
Don’t get me wrong. I do understand how serious an issue constipation is. I am just saying that an discovery of this kind would most likely lead to a minor dressing down, wouldn’t it?
Some will ask, why in the world would anyone want to know this sort of information? To be perfectly honest, I can see the temptation. I was for many years one of those people. If I can’t keep it up, I figure I might as well stop. I eventually realized that I am not as healthy as I thought I was, and here is why.
For starters, I used to take in an average of seventy grams of carbohydrates a day during my high-carb “ios govern” days. Knowing that I would probably get caught, so I decided to slow down. I would still eat high-carb days, but only one day in seven.
Before I started eating slower, I used to worry about finding a circulatory system that was willing to let me down without having to make an event out of it. Now, not being one to hold a grudge (as you do not develop ultimate choleritude overnight) I figured that I could continue eating the high-carb days and let my body get used to it. How long does one usually last on low-carb? You guessed it-a few days. My body was used to having carbs, so it featured heavily in the discomfort.
I found that when going from a high-carb day to a low-carb day that I felt better in days. The body functioning was still good, but I felt the low-carb days were much more productive.
Here are a few ideas to get you started slowing down the process.
1. Reduce the amount of carbs you are eating by one third, to one half.3. Take a break from eating high-carb days.4. Eat the same amount of carbs over the course of the day, but limit it to pre-workout meals.
