Let us learn about the golden rules of diet and nutrition for Tourette syndrome.

Light diet: Nutritious and easily digestible foods are essential in the diet of these children, but high-protein and high-calorie foods should also be limited. Eat more light vegetables and fruits high in vitamins, avoid irritating foods, foods rich in pigments and food additives, or drink large amounts of caffeinated beverages.

It is appropriate to eat foods high in calcium: When serum calcium is low, the excitability of muscles and nerves increases, and children will experience twitching of hands and feet. In addition, they will also experience symptoms such as nighttime grinding of teeth and easy startling. In life, it is advisable to eat more foods rich in calcium, such as milk, soy milk, beans, lean meat, eggs, green leafy vegetables, etc., and supplement with cod liver oil (vitamin D).

Avoid eating grilled and fried foods: Grilled foods are one of the issues that need attention. Due to the diversification of food nowadays, grilled and fried foods have deeply attracted diners with their delicious taste, not only adults, but also children nowadays. Children with Tourette syndrome should try to eat less or no such food.

Everyone must have a comprehensive diet and effectively regulate the body to avoid causing more pain. At the same time, they must also pay attention to reasonable health care. In daily life, they need to pay attention to some dietary principles to avoid causing serious illness, and pay attention to family treatment methods and effective care. At the same time, parents should not beat or scold children with Tourette syndrome, as this is not conducive to the condition.
