You may know that what you eat can make a difference in ADHD symptoms, but did you know that when you eat may help or hinder you, too? Schedule regular snacks and meals roughly three hours apart. This helps stabilize your blood sugar levels, which may keep you or your child from being irritable and unfocused. Make sure to include protein and complex carbohydrates into snacks and meals to help you or your child child feel more alert. It’s also important to check zinc, iron and magnesium levels — some people with ADHD are low on these minerals, and boosting them may improve symptoms. Adding omega-3 fatty acids — found in salmon, tuna and sardines — may also improve concentration. There are also other diets that may help improve ADHD symptoms. Check them out here.
