ADHD – Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder

  • ADHD is problem with inattentiveness, over-activity, or impulsivity. ADHD can also be a combination of all of these symptoms.
  • It is important to remember that for ADHD to be diagnosed these symptoms must be out of the ordinary range for a child’s age and development.
  • ADHD is the most commonly diagnosed behavioral disorder of childhood with anywhere from 3 – 5% of school aged children affected. It is much more common in boys; however, many girls may go undiagnosed because they typically have the inattentiveness type and do not act out as much as boys.
  • If you suspect your child has ADHD your child be she carefully examined by a physician to make an accurate diagnosis.
  • Omega 3 fatty acids are your good fats. They are part of your essential fatty acids and they are essential because we MUST get them from our diet. As humans we lack the necessary enzymes to produce omega 3 fatty acids.
  • Omega 3 fatty acids have been shown to help promote healthy blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, bowel function, skin, and memory / cognition.
  • Omega 3 fatty acids are inflammatory in nature and have been shown to help with arthritis and asthma. Omega 3 fatty acids are also natural blood thinner; helping to increase circulation all over the body.

  • Omega 3 fatty acids are found in cold water fish such as tuna, salmon, and mackerel.

Omega 3 Fatty acids and ADHD / Autism

When compared to children without ADHD children diagnosed with ADHD have lower levels of omega 3 fatty acids in their blood. This is important because Omega 3 fatty acids (specifically DHA) are most abundant in the brain.

It is important to note that even children that ate a good diet still had low levels of omega 3 fatty acids. This suggests that children with ADHD actually metabolize their omega 3 fatty acids much more quickly than children that do NOT have ADHD.

Studies have shown that supplementing with Omega 3 fatty acids help improve many of the symptoms of ADHD. Children diagnosed with ADHD that consumed omega 3 fatty acids on a regular basis showed improvement in hyperactivity and hypermotivity / aggressiveness and school attention.
