Title: Alternatives for ADHD- Video 3
Creator: Kenny Handelman
Summary: Food preservatives and additives may increase symptoms of ADHD, so cutting out those things as well as gluten, refined sugars, and milk has had an impact on some people. There was a study in Sweden done where people were eating only four pure and wholesome foods, including omega three acids, and they had improved brain function.
There is more and more research being done that shows omega three fatty acids are quite helpful for ADHD, mood disorders, and potential physical issues. This is because omega three fatty acids cross the blood-brain barrier and help to support nerve cells communicating to one another. Brains are 60% fat, and we need to have the right balance of omega-3s to omega-6s in order to make proper connections. Most western diets have too many omega-6s, which is thought to be a stress on people who have learning/mood disorders or ADHD. If we can supplement omega-3 fatty acids, then we can hopefully improve brain functioning. Side effects of this would be low to none.
