Foods That May Alleviate ADHD

Starting the day with a meal that is low in fat, high in protein and low in carbohydrates and sugar will help achieve peak mental performance. Proteins found in foods such as eggs are a major source of amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks used by the body to manufacture neurotransmitters. Jon Bennett, author of the book, “3 Steps to Conquering ADD-ADHD”, makes the case that some of the symptoms associated with ADD and ADHD can be linked to deficient neurotransmitter activity. Egg yolks contain choline, which is important in the production of the neurotransmitters in the brain that regulate behavior, mood and memory.
