Dietary recommendations for individuals with autism

The recommended diet for individuals with autism includes animal-based foods like eggs, seafood, shellfish, and organ meats like beef liver. These foods are rich in essential nutrients like vitamins A, B12, D, and E, zinc, selenium, and amino acids. Eliminating gluten and casein allergy triggers can help reduce oxidative stress. Adding microgreens or sprouts grown in soil to the diet provides phytonutrients and antioxidants that are beneficial for autism. NAC (N-acetylcysteine) and selenium supplements can help build up glutathione levels. Cod liver oil, a source of essential omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins A and D, and sun exposure or vitamin D supplementation can reduce inflammation. The correct forms of B12 (methylcobalamin) and folate (methylfolate) can lower homocysteine levels. Methylene blue, Coenzyme Q10, and electrolytes can also be beneficial in mitigating oxidative stress and improving mitochondrial function.
