We all know there are some foods out there that are better for us than others. And when we need to cut back,5 Simple Diet Changes That Can Stop Your Child’s Bad Behavior Articles we tend to cut back only on the sugary foods that contain large amounts of carbohydrates.  We usually do this when we need to lose weight or have some type of illness, but what about our brain?  Foods full of sugar and carbohydrates can damage brain cells and deplete the functioning of neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters are essential in mood and behavior.  The depletion of neurotransmitters can be a cause of your child's bad behavior and can make the difference whether your child is going to have a "good day" or a "bad day".The number one place for great mental function should start with the food you eat.  Overly processed foods full of carbohydrates and sugar can prohibit concentration and make it difficult for your child to focus.  Neurotransmitters are vital in cell communication within your brain, your memory, concentration, and focus are going to suffer when your intake of carbohydrates and sugar is high because these types of foods damage vital cells necessary for neurotransmitters to function properly.In this article I am going to highlight 5 super foods that are not only good for you, but also have the power to optimize your brain functioning.  The foods covered here provide your brain with the nutrients it needs to perform properly.  By replacing the sugary foods you eat with these substances, you are giving the cells you have the proper nutrients to keep them healthy. Healthy cells equal the ability to concentrate and focus with a clear mind better than ever before.  Here are the 5 super foods I talked about.Hemp Seeds & Oil:Hemp Seeds and oil are one of natures super foods.  Their powers are so great that entire populations have survived on them during times of famine.  They are enriched with a superb balance of omega 3 and omega 6 oils which are essential for healthy brain cells.  They are full of protein on the amino acid spectrum and because they work on a cellular level, they are absorbed by the skin quickly.  You can use Hemp Seeds and oil on soups, salads, dips or anything you would use sunflower seeds in.  They have a similar taste and the benefits are great.Bananas:The natural sugar in bananas can replace the refined sugar in snacks that not only destroy our cells, but also cause us to pack on pounds.  Bananas also contain the mineral Potassium which essential for proper cell and neurotransmitter health.  Proper levels of Potassium in your system combats stress and gives the brain oxygen which also aids in clear thinking.Apples:Apples contain the nutrients and minerals that are vital to proper health and brain function.  Apples also contain water, which keeps the body and cells hydrated.  This fruit, which has been recommended by medical professionals for decades can cure a sweet tooth with natural sugar and replace snacks that are packed with refined sugar.Free Range, Grain Fed Eggs:Free range, grain fed eggs come from chickens that are allowed to roam and feed on the the grains and pasture rather than feed on processed chicken feed.  Free range, grain fed eggs are high in omega 3 oils which get your brain boosted. Studies have shown that eating breakfast rich in protein helps you focus and concentrate throughout the day.  Children who eat a well balanced breakfast do better in school than those who do not.  Free range, grain fed eggs are a much better alternative to high carbohydrate packed breakfast items such as cereal and bagels. Coconut Oil:Coconut oil is another great source of omega 3 oil and as we already have learned, omega 3 oil is vital for optimal brain and cell functioning.  Coconut oil has other benefits such as lowering high blood pressure, increasing immune system functioning, lower stress, and improved kidney functioning just to name a few. It is full of antioxidants and is also used as an antifungal. One of the most important functions of coconut oil however, is its ability to keep the body free of toxins, viruses, and bacteria.  Making these simple dietary changes may not stop your child's bad behavior all together, but it can improve focus and concentration which can allow other behavior management strategies to work more effectively.  Healthy brain function is vital in overall mental health and mood stability.  The next time your child seems to have difficulty concentrating, focusing on simple tasks, or is hyperactive, consider starting your child on a simple "food boot camp".  You will begin to see improvement in a matter of days and will be improving overall health as well.  For a Free report on improving your child's bad behavior visit our website!GET ACCESS HERE
