In today’s world, behavioral issues are rising at a rapid rate. Studies show that 1 in every 5 children are diagnosed with behavior disorders such as ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder).

Two of the most common causes of these behavioral disorders have been shown to be deficiency in EFAs (Essential Fatty Acids) and over consumption of sugars.

Your body uses fat to make cell membranes and protect nerves. This enables the electrical signals in the brain to properly reach its destination and function properly. Not having enough EFAs in your diet can cause this to be out of balance.

Getting an efficient amount of EFAs with plenty of DHA, has been shown to help support the brain and nervous system by boosting mood and enhancing memory, brain function and attentiveness.

Using a children’s omega vitamin is the simplest way to ensure that your child is getting the nutrition they need to support their healthy, growing brain! You can do that with the great tasting brands like: Irwin Natural’s Irwin Kids Omega-3 chewable, Nordic Naturals’ Children’s DHA in chewable or liquid, and Carlson’s Labs Carlson for Kids Chewable DHA!

All kinds of sugar, natural or refined, take an extra effort to be processed and digested in the body. Because of this, excessive sugar intake depletes the body of essential B vitamins as wells as important minerals such as calcium and magnesium. B vitamins are very crucial to the nervous system, and when these vitamins are used up to help process sugar intake, it leaves the nerves weak and vulnerable, resulting in short tempers and mood swings. Sugar also leaches calcium and magnesium from the bones, leaving them weak and depriving your body of natural relaxants.

You can combat this problem with limiting sugar intake in your children’s diet as well as supplementing them with multi-vitamins and multi-minerals. Studies show that supplying your child with efficient amounts of essential vitamins and minerals can help aid in the support of brain, bone and immune development. You can achieve this with great children’s products like Irwin Natural’s Irwin Kids Berrylicious Super Multi chews and Liquid Health’s Children’s Multi in liquid. These are great tasting products that your children will love!
