ADHD and Diet
There is no one-size-fits-all diet for people with ADHD, but there are some general nutritional guidelines that can help. A healthy diet for someone with ADHD should include:
- Plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables
- Whole grains
- Lean protein
- Healthy fats
People with ADHD may also benefit from avoiding or limiting processed foods, sugary drinks, and artificial additives. Some specific dietary interventions that have been shown to be helpful for people with ADHD include omega-3 supplements, probiotics, and a gluten-free diet. However, it's important to talk to a doctor or registered dietitian before making any major changes to your diet.\
