Detect trigger foods, reduce exposure to artificial colors and additives, improve intake of omega-3 fats and micronutrients, and develop a lifetime of healthy habits for children with ADHD with guidance from a NYC registered dietitian.
Diet alone isn’t the cause of the many behaviors and cognitive symptoms children experience with ADD or ADHD. Nevertheless, there is continued, and renewed, interest in studies that point toward some foods and additives that might affect some symptoms in some children with ADD/ADHD.
We recognize that there are a lot of qualifiers in that paragraph, but it’s imperative to understand there’s no one-size-fits-all nutrition treatment for any medical problem. Moreover, highly restrictive diets that are so popular in the media have been proven to be ineffective, and even detrimental. If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.
Good nutrition practices implemented early in life can last a lifetime. And a diet reduced in artificial colors and additives with a solid intake of omega-3 fats and micronutrients will improve any child’s overall health and nutrition. This, then, leads to a lifetime of healthy eating. And, in those children especially sensitive to additives, this can lead to an improvement of ADD/ADHD symptoms.
