So I was browsing the site and forum and saw the Omega 3 post. I found it interesting and did some searches online. I ran across an article / study that discussed correlation between the increased people with ADHD and the decrease of the following in diets.
- polyunsaturated fatty acids ( omega 3)
- zinc
- magnesium
- iron
I like so many, have a difficult child with ADHD and other mental behavioral issues and he is on medication. His medication has a huge effect on his appetite and I have never watched or been to concerned about what he eats as long as he eats. So there is no doubt in my mind that he is not getting the recommended amounts of the above.
Has anyone tried increasing their childrens in take and if so was it merely change in diet and foods or was the supplement route taken.
