Complex carbohydrates, omega-3 fatty acids, lean protein, and certain vitamins all help our brain cells carry out their functions efficiently and effectively. In an ADHD brain, these foods and nutrients can be particularly powerful. Find out how!
Nutrition affects the ADHD brain in three ways.
- Brain cells, like other cells in the body, need proper nutrition to carry out their functions.
- The myelin sheath, which covers the axons of brain cells, as insulation covers electrical wires, needs the right levels of nutrients to speed transmission of the electrical signals between brain cells.
- Neurotransmitters — dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine — are also dependent on diet for proper performance.
