The question about making the right food choices for our kids seems to be very relevant to-day. It seems that whether we are dealing with ADHD or not, it is vital that wise choices are made to avoid diabetes, obesity, heart disease and so on. But minerals and vitamins for ADHD are important in their own way, given that food does affect our brains just as much as our bodies so it is only sensible to take this problem seriously.
Did you know that there are 16 essential minerals that are absolutely vital for our bodies and minds? Just as these are essential for healthy growth of muscles and bones, they are also vital for the correct functioning of our brain transmitters such as serotonin, dopamine and epinephrine. If these are not working properly or if we have some nutrient deficiencies in our diet, then the brain just will not work at maximum capacity.

Let us take ADHD where those neurotransmitters are not working very well. They have sometimes been compared to a rather weak phone signal. You know those awful conversations where the line keeps going and we have to fill in the gaps. It is most irritating and in a way a child who is suffering from ADHD just cannot fill in the gaps at all. His distractability, motivation to stay on task and lack of attention and impulsivity are all a direct result of those transmitters just failing to make the right connections.
Let us take calcium as one of the essential minerals. We have to have the correct amount not only to make great bones but we desperately need the 1% that goes to feed our brains. If children do not get enough, they tend to be irritable be inattentive and also have tingling arms and legs.
About 12% of American schoolchildren are not getting enough iron. This deficiency is even higher in children with ADHD. I read with great interest about some studies done in Israel which actually showed that ADHD children after just a month of iron supplements as part of a program of minerals and vitamins for ADHD, were showing improvement of some of their symptoms. The main improvement that parents noted was that they were much less hyperactive and restless. They felt that this was an enormous achievement.
These are just two examples of how important balanced regime or diet plan with minerals and vitamins for ADHD can really help. It needs to be implemented with a comprehensive program which include child behavior modification and also green time with plenty of physical activities.
As for medication, lots of parents are turning with great interest to ADHD homeopathic remedies which is why I decided to build a website page for you to explain it all and how it can fit in so well with the above type of treatment regime. As you will see it is not just about mineral products for ADHD kids but an awful lot more. Hope it helps!
