About the book

Why do hyperactive children or those with learning and concentration disorders, attention deficit or other behavioral problems need special food – or to put it the other way around: Why shouldn't these children snack on "normal" sweets?
The symptoms mentioned are often accompanied by various food intolerances: lactose, milk protein, gluten, wheat, refined sugar, and additives such as phosphates and aspartame. These intolerances can be the cause of the behavioral disturbances mentioned. Avoiding these substances and allergens can sometimes work wonders.

Maritta Schmid's "Healthy Snacking" recipe collection was compiled specifically for these children and is well-tested. Indigestible ingredients are replaced with more tolerable ones. A list of substitutes is included in the book. The substitutes are available in organic and health food stores.

However, not only for these children, but also for older people who suffer from declining cognitive and memory performance, neurodegenerative diseases, metabolic problems, allergies and pain patients, a diet that not only takes into account the respective food intolerances but also avoids massive fluctuations in blood sugar and insulin often proves helpful.

The target audience for this lovingly designed "snack book" is broad. The recipes are not difficult to follow and are all delicious!
You'll have a lot of fun conjuring up recipes with this special baking and snacking book. It's unique on the diet book market.
