What are the dietary principles for children with tics?

Tourette syndrome is a relatively common disease, and the main group of patients are children. It is caused by both genetic reasons and bad living habits. As parents, we must take our children to good treatment in time, formulate dietary principles for the children, and develop good habits of regular eating. This will help improve the children's immunity and memory.

1. Establish dietary principles for children with Tourette syndrome.

Formulate dietary principles for children with Tourette syndrome, specifically, stipulate which foods they can eat more of, which foods they should eat less of, and which foods children should not eat. Because children with Tourette syndrome are often partial and picky eaters, their nutrition cannot meet the needs of brain function. For example, the intake of essential amino acids, taurine, nucleotides, lecithin, iron, zinc, etc. is too low, which has an adverse effect on brain function. Therefore, children with Tourette syndrome should eat more foods rich in protein and lecithin, such as animal offal, fish, eggs, soybeans and soy products, walnut kernels, and milk. Milk and natural foods rich in water and vitamins are most suitable for daily consumption by children.

2. Cultivate healthy and regular eating habits for patients with Tourette syndrome

Try not to let your children eat snacks. This requires parents to prepare a variety of meals to improve their children's appetite and ensure the nutrients needed for growth.

3. Children with Tourette syndrome should eat more foods containing animal brains and bone marrow .

It can nourish the kidneys and fill the marrow, improving the attention and memory of children with Tourette syndrome. You can let your children drink lotus seed and lily porridge once every morning, which has the effect of nourishing the kidneys and soothing the mind. Boil Poria powder and fresh yam into porridge, which can strengthen the spleen and aid digestion, and eliminate phlegm and dampness for children.

4. Children with Tourette syndrome should eat foods high in calcium.

When serum calcium is low, the excitability of muscles and nerves increases, and children will experience twitching of their hands and feet. In addition, symptoms such as nocturnal bruxism and irritability may also occur. Children with Tourette syndrome should eat more calcium-rich foods, such as milk, soy milk, beans, lean meat, eggs, green leafy vegetables, etc., and supplement with cod liver oil (vitamin D).

I hope everyone has some understanding of the content of "What Tourette patients need to pay attention to in diet". Parents need to pay special attention to the diet of children with Tourette syndrome. Spicy and irritating foods should be avoided in the diet. Therefore, parents must supervise their children's diet, actively receive treatment, and take medicines on time and in the right amount. Only in this way can it help the disease recover as soon as possible.
