Tips on Managing Your Child's ADHD
We all want the best for our children. We want them to grow up healthy and strong. We want them to get good jobs and be successful and we want them to be happy. Every child plays and gets hyper and distracted every now and then, it's a part of being a kid and of growing up. For those children that are overly hyper and get confused or distracted often, they may have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or ADHD.
On the market there are many different medicines and therapies which are available to help children with this type of condition. But, there are also other ways to help children with ADHD - some foods will help children combat their ADHD, whilst other should be limited or avoided. Knowing about these different foods will be good, as you will be able to help your child deal with this disorder and their future.
If we look at recent studies about children with ADHD, we find that some research has shown the causes of ADHD in children could be as a result of an individual's diet and a deficiency of certain vitamins and minerals - these include a deficiency in omega 3 fatty acids, Vitamin C, zinc, and possibly iron.
Children, in general, need a good amount of Omega 3 fatty acids; if they don't, then they will be in the higher risk range of suffering from ADHD. Also, some children have previously shown other symptoms of having a deficiency in these acids which have included: thirst, frequent urination, and dry skin. Also, some studies have found that a number of children who have ADHD and were asked to take a fish supplement, improved their behavior in a short time.
Also, futher studies have found that any child who has ADHD will have the possibility of developing further allergies to different types of foods and may not ingest vitamins because of this. Additionally, you could find that children can become more hyperactive if they consume food dye. Some studies have identified that certain foods with these types of dye, once removed, showed vast improvements with child who had ADHD.
You will need to keep an eye on what your child eats and help them stay away from food additives and anything children with ADHD could be allergic to. Doing so will help improve their symptoms and make them less hyperactive. You may also find that giving them Vitamin C supplements will help improve the symptoms too. And, consulting a doctor, about other concerns, medicines and for regular routine checkups, is also advisable.
Many people also believe in the importance of the correct type and quantity for children with ADHD, so they can live healthier in life, but also because certain vitamins and minerals could cause ADHD symptoms to become worse. Which is the sole reason you should monitor what your child eats and that they eat a healthy and balanced diet - as well as complete regular exercise. Resulting in a child with ADHD being healthier and happier in the long term.
