The Best Diet For Autism/ADHD


If you’re a parent of a child with special needs - including autism or even ADHD, then you’ll know how difficult it can be to help your child eat a healthy diet, while also seeing how bad the effects are on their behavior and health from poor eating habits.

So, it makes sense that if any of these areas are lacking then you should be at greater risk for injury, especially when we are talking low back injuries (due to how important brain control is over the vitally important spinal muscles). We know that if you can’t activate your trunk and core muscles before rapidly moving an arm, this can potentially result in a strain or sprain of the low back. This is known as the feed forward mechanism - if our spine doesn't first stabilize properly before we move our limbs then we greatly increase our risk of injury at the spinal level. These injuries usually start as microscopic injuries that we don't even notice but like everything else they continue to b
