Diet Tips To Help Manage ADHD In Both Adults And Children

Include A Variety Of Fruits And Vegetables

Many individuals may not be aware of this, but many fruits and vegetables are also sources of complex carbohydrates! Thus, they should try incorporating more of them, such as apples, oranges, pears, pumpkin, and sweet potatoes into their diet. Why are complex carbohydrates so beneficial for those with ADHD? The body takes longer to break complex carbs down, which is why there are fewer spikes and crashes than simple carbs, as mentioned previously.

Beyond the benefits of complex carbohydrates, however, fruits and vegetables like spinach, pomegranate, and berries are full of beneficial vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients.
