ADHD Diet

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most commonly diagnosed childhood mental conditions. Most symptoms generally occur before 7 years of age. Symptoms include inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsive behavior. The condition can continue into adulthood – however adults exhibit a better ability to control impulsive responses.


ADHD has no known cause – although many feel that it is due to a chemical imbalance in the brain caused either by environmental or genetic factors. Some environmental factors include; toxin exposure during pregnancy, food additives and allergies, sugar, caffeine, and food coloring – however much of this is theory.
Sugar

There is considerable difference of opinion has to how refined sugar affects a child’s behavior. Many studies have found no evidence that refined sugar affects behavior of children. Some feel that a typical celebration (such as a child’s birthday party) is linked to high sugar intake and therefore excitable behavior can be linked to the celebration.
Allergies, Additives, and Food Coloring

The Feingold diet was proposed in the 1970s and linked behavior with diet. However, once again, a number of scientists feel that there has not been enough objective research to concluded that additives are linked with ADHD.
Caffeine

Caffeine is a stimulant and it’s effect is different for different people. Some develop more of a tolerance for caffeine than others. It is not advisable for a child to consume caffeinated drinks (such as Coke or Pepsi, or other “energy” drinks). Especially if a Caffeine Allergy is suspected.
Anecdotal Evidence

However, anecdotally, there is evidence that processed foods can be linked with hyperactive behavior. As a parent you can try to remove as many high-sugar, and colored foods as possible. Juices should be diluted, and sodas, candy, and cookies should be avoided altogether.
Omega-3 and ADHD

@Omega-3@ is an essential fatty acid (i.e. a form of polyunsaturated fat) found in certain fish, and in vegetable sources (such as flax, hemp, and walnuts). There has been a considerable body of research showing that omega-3 (or more specifically the ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fats) is essential for correct brain function. There is even evidence showing that a pregnant mother who is low in @omega-3@ can affect the brain develop of the baby during the 3rd trimester.
Sources of Omega-3

• 100g Salmon (provides 230mg omega-3)
• 100g Sardines (provides 220mg omega-3)
• 100g Herring (provides 160mg omega-3)
• 100g Tuna (provides 160mg omega-3). The tuna must be fresh or frozen – as canned tuna usually has the oil drained (and is often replaced with omega-6 oils).

ADHD Children and Omega-3

If your child will not eat fish, try mixing in flaxseed oil into certain foods, or look for “enriched” products (such as milks or breads) that have omega-3 added.
Can Diet Make a Difference to ADHD?

Most current scientific research indicates that only a small percentage of children will respond to a diet free of additives. However don’t let this stop you from experimenting with dietary changes.
At the very minimum an ADHD child should be eating 2 fish meals per week.

sad me ovo podsjetilo da moj sebastian burno reagira na konzervans, umjetne arome i sve te aditive. od toga stvarno pukne, cak zna dobiti i blagi osip

problem sa unosom smeca je i pestcidi jer je to totalni otrov.

nama je nutricionistica dala uputu da ako ne nadjem hranu iz organskog uzgoja (voce i povrce) da stavim voce i povrce da 45 minuta odstoji u slanoj vodi da se malo ocisti od otrova. obavezno moramo koristiti zrelo voce i povrce (sto je u nl komplicirano jer sve se bere zeleno zbog transporta)

znaci, pokusajte klincima dati neprskano voce i povrce i meso zivotinja koje su stvarno zivile na suncu i pasle vani (idealno bi vam bilo docepati se recimo svinjskog mesa od svinja koje su nekim cudom svrljale po sumi i jele zireve i slicno)

mi filtriramo vodu jer je voda svgdje zagadjena

mi ne kupijemo vodu u plasticnim flazicama (jer u vodu ulazi dioksin) nego filtriramo vodu iz pipe i koristimo ili staklene ili zigg boce i tako nosamo svoju vodu sa sobom)

idealan filter za vodu je sa riverzibilnom osmozom ali posluzit ce vam i obicna brita

koristimo filtere za zrak

koristimo infracrvenu saunu za detoksikaciju i ta sauna cini jos i cuda za borbu protiv gropa, prehlada i definitivno pomaze kod upale uha

zivotinje trebaju doci iz uzgoja gdje ih nisu sopali antibioticima jer to opet zavrsava u klincima. antibiotici su carobna formula za candidu i pad imuniteta

Svakako preporučujem ovakav način prehrane, s tim da bih napomenula da roditelji djece s autizmom pripaze odakle uzimaju ribu kao izvor Omege, jer plava riba iz ribogojilišta može sadržavati velike količine žive..

pa i more je zagadjeno

imas ideju da treba davati samo sitniju ribu, da je tuna puna zive

mi smo jedno vrijeme bili na jeguljama jer je najmasnije sto se moglo kupiti ali kako je jegulja ugrozena vrsta i prijeti im nestajanje prebacili smo se na lososa

sardela je super ali ih kod nas nema

u principu, svaka je riba bolja od sake tableta u ime omega 3. vecina roditelja na zalost ne uspijeva djecu dobiti da jedu ribu pa su prisiljeni raditi sa suplementima (ok, dio daje suplemente jer je jetinije i brze)
