Description

Eating a healthy diet won’t “cure” your ADHD. But research has long shown that healthy, whole foods — combined with certain supplements and minerals — can improve impulsivity, focus, and hyperactivity. In this comprehensive special report, we outline exactly what you should eat — and what you’re better off avoiding — to get the best results for your brain’s unique chemistry.

In this updated, 86-page guide, you’ll learn:

How omega-3, iron, and zinc can boost your brainpower
Why sugar, dairy, or gluten might be making you feel sluggish
How to plan, shop for, and cook meals — even when ADHD gets in the way
Why ADHD may make it harder for you to lose weight — and how you can fight back
Whether you’re looking to supplement a medication plan, or use diet as a stand-alone treatment, this in-depth eBook contains the critical information you need to know for managing your ADHD with food and vitamins.
