Question
My child has always been very active, and sometimes I feel his restlessness is abnormal, which worries me that he might have ADHD. What should I do? How can I prevent ADHD in my child through diet?
Answer
- Children with ADHD should consume more foods rich in zinc, as zinc is closely related to human growth and development.
- The diet should include more foods containing fatty acids, lecithin, and B-group vitamins. Unsaturated fatty acids are crucial for brain cell development and can improve brain function and memory. It is recommended that children eat more lean meat, clams, and soy products.
