Answer

Hello, one of the causes of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder is high blood lead levels in children. Supplementing with zinc can help reduce the amount of lead in the body. It is generally recommended to consume foods rich in zinc and selenium, such as fish, lean meat, peanuts, sesame seeds, dairy products, mushrooms, eggs, garlic, etc., to effectively supplement zinc and treat Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder in children. If a child has been diagnosed with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, it is advisable to start treatment as soon as possible. This condition can greatly affect the child’s well-being, and delaying the best treatment time is not conducive to the child’s recovery. In addition to medication, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder can also be supplemented through psychological and physical therapy.
