3. Healthy fats
Children between four to 14 years of age should receive 25 to 35 percent of their total daily energy from fats. Of these, less than ten percent should come from saturated fats and the remaining from unsaturated fats. Fats are essential for humans for several reasons, including aiding the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K.
4. Vitamins and minerals
Low zinc and iron levels are often associated with ADHD. However, there’s no concrete evidence that deficiency of any vitamin or minerals causes ADHD. Nevertheless, some studies indicate that micronutrient supplementation may improve certain symptoms of ADHD, such as inattention. Additionally, in general, consuming micronutrients is necessary for overall health and well-being.
