Nutrition and ADHD
Having a balanced and healthy diet is important to having a happy and healthy life. A healthy diet can provide an effective complementary approach to alleviating some symptoms of ADHD.

Dietary approaches for ADHD eliminate — or take out — one or more foods in the person’s diet (for example, sugar, candy and food with red dye). The assumption is that being Gastrointestinal sensitivities to certain foods may cause or worsen symptoms of ADHD.
