Family Nutrition - Brain Foods

clipped from www.askdrsears.com A.D.H.D. FOODS The behavior and learning of children who are labeled A.D.H.D. (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) tend to be influenced more by foods than other children. Clues that a dietary deficiency may be contributing to your child's behavior or learning problems are: excessive thirst, frequent urination, dry hair and skin, eczema, and allergies. But, most important are the observations you record in your food-mood connection diary. The acronym ADHD (Add to your Daily Healthy Diet) can help you remember to include foods that improve behavior and learning, such as fish, flax seeds or flax oil, vegetables, and whole grains.
