In this article, I will tell you the few key points to consider while making a food menu for ADHD child.

There are ADHD diet solutions and here’s a long list of do’s and don’ts for you!!

DON’TS:

1. Don’t give your child processed food. No additive, no preservatives, no artificial colors, no artificial flavors.

2. Don’t give him dairy products. Stop giving him milk for at least 2 weeks. Stop cheese, cream and yogurt.

3. Stop his soft drinks intake. No colas, no ice teas, no carbonated drink in any form.

4. No fruit juices. They have too much natural sugar.

5. Don’t let him eat junk food. It’s all processed and has ability to raise blood glucose level; hence it can worsen up the situation.

6. Cut his sugar intake. No candies, no chocolates, no desserts, no ice creams.

7. Don’t let him eat any meat item that has been processed, packed or premade. Use only fresh meat which you cook by yourself.

8. Don’t let him eat any fried products like potato chips etc.

9. Don’t let him eat snacks all the day long. No food between meal times.

10. DON’T PUSH HIM OR FORCE HIM. TELL HIM WHAT’S GOOD FOR HIM AND CONVINCE HIM FOR ALL THIS.

DO’S:

1. Give him organic diet. Certified organic products are foods which are grown without the use of potentially harmful long-lasting pesticides, herbicides and fungicides. Since organic foods are also grown without genetically processed seeds, sewage sludge or irradiation, some people feel that this is a more wholesome choice.

2. Give him plenty of water. The brain is made up of 85-90% of water. It will help him a lot!!

3. Give him raw fruits and vegetables. A lot of them.

4. Give him good choice of food, made by your own self. Try Betty Crocker’s recipes. They are good for ADHD child. And he won’t get bore with these over 10,000 recipes.

5. Give him multivitamins and protein supplements, but make them recommended by your doctor.

6. Nourish your child with flax seed or primrose oil. High sources of Omega oils. Borage oils and some fish oils are good as well. Very important. Mix about a spoonful a day into foods as you prepare them, or add to salad dressings, etc.

7. DO ADMIRE YOUR CHILD FOR HIS SACRIFICE. IT’S NOT EASY FOR HIM TO LET GO THINGS HE LIKES THE MOST. REWARD HIM.
