Dietary taboos for children with ADHD

What are the dietary taboos for children with ADHD? In the past, we always thought that it was nothing for children to be noisy all the time. However, with people's continuous pursuit of health and the enrichment of medical knowledge, we learned that children being too noisy is also a manifestation of a disease, which is ADHD. Many parents are often annoyed by the fact that their children are too active. They feel like their children are just like Sun Wukong, who can never calm down for a moment. They are also worried about their children's ADHD, believing that this will not allow them to sit quietly and concentrate in class, which will greatly harm their studies. In addition to current drug treatments, children with ADHD still have many taboos in daily life. So what should children with ADHD pay attention to in terms of diet?

1. Avoid eating foods high in aluminum

Aluminum is a very common metal element in our daily life. It may threaten human health, cause intellectual degeneration and memory loss, and may also cause loss of appetite and indigestion. Children with ADHD should not use uncoated aluminum utensils and containers or use them to cook high-protein, acidic foods and drinks. It is best not to take Chinese and Western medicines that contain a lot of aluminum for a long time, such as aluminum hydroxide antacids. In addition, be careful not to take them with fruit juice containing citric acid. In addition, foods containing aluminum additives, such as fried dough sticks, should be eaten as little as possible. Tea also contains a lot of aluminum, so chewing it should be avoided. But in fact, there is very little aluminum in tea, so it can be drunk with confidence. These are things that children with ADHD should pay special attention to in their diet.

2. Avoid foods containing tyrosine

Milk, dairy products, tofu skin, soybeans, and dried cod are rich in tyrosine. What needs to be understood is that the content of P-cresol in the stool of children with ADHD is higher than that of normal children. P-cresol is a product of the metabolism of tyrosine by microorganisms in the human intestine, so large amounts of consumption should be avoided. In addition, children with ADHD should avoid eating too much sugar in their diet. Foods with high sugar content, such as various desserts, candies, beverages, cold drinks, etc., may cause endocrine disorders in the body if consumed too much, and children may develop ADHD. Therefore, they should eat less. This is also an aspect that children with ADHD should pay more attention to in their diet.

The above are the things that children with ADHD need to pay attention to in their diet. Excessive aluminum content in food can easily cause endocrine disorders in children, so in daily life, desserts for children. Candies and ice cream should be controlled and not allowed to eat too much. They can be allowed to eat more fruits. This can not only relieve ADHD, but also supplement vitamins in children's bodies. Therefore, parents must pay more attention to children's diet. We also hope that our introduction can be helpful to parents and friends.
