Question
What dietary considerations should be maintained for children with ADHD?
Answer
ADHD is a self-limiting condition in children. Currently, some can self-heal, but most require active cooperation with doctors. Our general recommendation is to start treatment as early as possible and avoid exacerbating the condition. Currently, the treatment for ADHD is primarily based on educational and psychological therapy, supplemented by medication. It is advised to consume more fruits and vegetables, less spicy food, and more foods rich in zinc and iron. For children with ADHD, in addition to ensuring adequate rest, nutrition, and hydration, they can also take necessary safety measures to prevent injuries and reduce the occurrence of complications. This helps eliminate various stress factors and correct bad habits such as blinking and rocking in a timely manner.
