Patient's question:
I have a friend whose daughter has a very cute child. They came to my house for a few days this week. Gradually, I noticed some differences between him and other babies. He is always restless and can't stay quiet. My friend said that this behavior might be a sign of ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). What should be paid attention to in the diet if a child suffers from ADHD?Doctor's answer:
ADHD is a psychological behavioral disorder in children. Besides being hyperactive, children often lack interests and have poor academic performance. It is recommended to consume more fatty fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids, such as salmon, tuna, sardines, and mackerel. Studies have shown that a deficiency in fatty acid intake is associated with ADHD. Daily consumption of beneficial fats found in fish oil, such as those mentioned, is recommended for patients to wish them a speedy recovery!
