While eating a balanced diet doesn't necessarily provide a cure for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), good nutrition may benefit symptom management.
1. Track Your Intake, Movement, and Energy
Consider tracking your nutrient intake and movement for a few days to a week or more.
Why it matters : Some evidence suggests that some individuals with ADHD may have lower levels of specific nutrients. Further research is needed, particularly in adults. However, tracking what and when you eat, drink, or move—and how you feel after—can help you identify areas for growth. Furthermore, movement may benefit specific ADHD symptoms.
How to track : Pick a nutrition tracker and start. Consider meal planning in advance.
