In this video, we’re going to talk about why your child might be clumsy or not coordinated.

Now, some children are naturally more clumsy—this is not a huge problem in most cases. However, it could also be a matter of an underlying nutritional deficiency.

There’s a condition known as ataxia. Ataxia is when the left side of the body is not coordinated with the right side of the body. This can cause gait abnormalities, difficulty judging distances, and general clumsiness.

The underlying causes of ataxia can range from brain tumors to head injuries. However, there are some other very interesting causes. In particular, vitamin B1 deficiency can lead to ataxia. Vitamin B1 is important for brain function.

Other causes of ataxia include:
• Refined rice
• Alcohol
• Drugs
• Lithium
• Mercury
• Low vitamin B12
• Gluten
• Gastric bypass
• Sugar
• Refined carbs

If your child isn’t as coordinated as they should be, try getting them off of the grains and sugars and see if their coordination improves. You can also add a vitamin B1 supplement to their diet to see if you find any improvements.
