Fruits and Vegetables Improve ADHD Symptoms in Children
Eating more fruits and vegetables improves Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) symptoms in children, according to a study published online in Nutritional Neuroscience. Children who ate more fruits and vegetables had less severe symptoms of inattention from ADHD than children who ate more foods higher in saturated fat, sodium, and added sugars.
