Natural Alternative for Kids, Teens, Adults with ADHD

ADD Diet and Eating Program for Attention Deficit Disorder



With somewhere between 5% and 9% of children meeting the diagnostic criteria for ADHD, it is becoming very important that we as parents make whatever changes we need in order to help our children. Many of you reading this are parents of children or teens with ADHD, and you are looking for ways to help your child. This ADHD Diet is a great place to begin.

You may already be trying interventions such as medications, Attend, or EEG neurofeedback, which are all good treatment interventions for ADHD.

Eating foods that help to optimize brain performance is one of the most important things that you can do to help your child, your teen, or yourself. This ADD ADHD diet will help!

This ADD diet is recommended for every member of the family, so in that sense it's not just an "ADHD diet". It's the same program that we put professional athletes and business executives on for optimized performance, with only minor changes. Read more of the article...

And according to a recent study from Norway, it seems that at least a sub-group of children with ADHD have a particular type of protein imbalance that may be contributing to a child’s ADHD symptoms, or may be causing that child’s ADHD problem entirely.

The study began back in 1996 as a group of researchers and educators in Norway began a study of 23 children with ADHD. They placed the children on a milk free diet and have followed the performance of the children since. The researchers wanted to see if the ADHD symptoms in the children, particularly hyperactivity and impulsivity, would improve by avoiding milk, or more specifically the casein in the milk.
