Importance of Diet

Delayed speech can be caused by lack of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B12, iron, zinc, and protein, which are extremely crucial during brain and nerve development. Along with speech therapy, good nutrition helps to improve:

• Brain and nerve transmission
• Concentration ability and comprehension
• Speech and motor skill clarity
• Coordination
• Overall cognitive growth

Goals of the Diet

• Nourish the brain and nervous system
• Provide required nutrition for speech and thinking
• Improve muscle tone and coordination of speech organs
• Exclude foodstuffs that disrupt concentration or cause hyperactivity
• Foster overall development of the child and immunity

A diet for a speech delay would include omega-3s, proteins, iron, zinc, and B vitamins, which are found in foods like ragi, moong dal, spinach, beetroot, walnuts, eggs, fish, and chicken. These foods help to develop brain connections, growth of nerves, and speech muscles.

Processed food and sweets are gifts of the devil because they distract the child away from concentration. Combined with speech therapy, mental stimulation, and proper rest, this diet helps facilitate the development of speech, comprehension, and mental growth naturally.
