Nutrition for ADHD/ASD.
Research shows that the right nutrition can reduce many of the negative symptoms associated with ADHD/ASD. The best diet is based on whole foods that fuels a healthy gut microbiome and is low in sugar, processed foods and saturated fat. Good nutrition keeps your brain functioning well, and can help support and lessen negative symptoms. The thing is, healthy eating can be a challenge with ASD and ADHD, and you may face many barriers. Sensory issues with texture or taste, food intolerances, difficulty with planning and focus, digestive issues, food aversion and low hunger cues can all stand in the way of a balanced diet.
