ADHD Natural Remedies and Diet

Here are some basics for your child’s diet:

1. Avoid foods and drinks high in sugar - e.g. candies - during school days and limit over weekends.

2. Avoid foods and drinks containing stimulants like caffeine - found in coffee, tea, chocolate and coca cola, as well as in many energy drinks.

3. Avoid foods and drinks with artificial flavors and colors, especially tartrazine and MSG.

4. Try to keep junk foods down to a minimum.

5. See what happens if you eliminate wheat and refined carbohydrate from the diet for a few weeks. Many children have a wheat intolerance which can cause hyperactivity. Instead use oats, brown rice and rye bread.

6. Eat lots of fresh fruit, salads and veggies. Include fish in the diet as much as possible. Take a supplement containing flaxseed oil or evening primrose oil.

What is ADD?

ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) is a diagnosed disorder which affects concentration, attention span and the ability to focus on the task at hand.

ADHD (Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity) is usually much easier to identify. Apart from their difficulties with concentration and memory, children and adults with ADHD often have associated behavioral problems in class, at home and in the workplace, due to their impulsive behavior and hyperactivity. (For safe and effective treatment for ADHD, see Focus ADHD Formula.)

Children and adults with ADD (without hyperactivity) often go unaided and undiagnosed. They may be very intelligent people, but because of their concentration and memory problems they perform poorly in school, college and the workplace and seldom reach their full potential.

They often feel listless and can lack motivation and energy because of their constant struggle to concentrate and focus on their work. Sometimes they can even develop depression due to their inability to reach their potential and the negative feedback they receive from those around them.

Children and adults with ADD are often unfairly called 'stupid', 'dumb', 'lazy' and other hurtful names, when all they need is some help and understandin

How does Focus ADDult for Adult ADD work?

In the past, Adults and teens who suffered from ADD only had one resort - prescription psychostimulant drugs with dangers of addiction and side effects.

Focus ADDult for Adult ADD uses a therapeutic blend of specific herbs from around the world to treat the symptoms of Adult ADD.

Focus ADDult for Adult ADD contains the following proven ingredients:

Using a concentrated medicinal extract from three powerful herbs from Chinese, Ayurvedic (Indian) and Western naturopathic medicine, Focus ADDult works in three ways:

Centella asiatica is the primary ingredient. It promotes mental clarity, enhances memory and brain function and helps to alleviate anxiety. This medicinal herb is so highly respected in Ayurvedic medicine for its effect on the mind, that it is even said to increase knowledge of Brahman - the supreme reality. Recent studies have suggested that Centella asiatica improves cerebral blood flow (CBF) and circulation in general, thereby allowing oxygen rich blood to penetrate deep into the brain.

Rosmarinus officinalis (Rosemary) is well-known as general tonic and energizer. Like Centella asiatica, it also promotes cerebral blood flow. Recent studies have found that Rosemary contains acetyl-cholinesterase inhibitors, chemicals that prevent the breakdown of acetylcholine in the brain. Acetylcholine is chemical in the brain that promotes memory function. A deficiency in acetylcholine has been linked to Alzheimer's disease and memory impairment.

Panax Ginseng has been used in Chinese medicine for more than 5000 years and is one of the most prized and expensive Chinese herbs. It is used to reduce stress, increase energy and motivation, strengthen the immune system and decrease fatigue. Studies have shown that Panax ginseng enhances physical performance in athletes, while the Soviet scientist, Dr Brekham, identified it as a superior adaptogen, normalizing body functions, reducing stress and preventing disease. Further studies in Japan and India have demonstrated that rats fed with Panax ginseng were able to learn tasks quicker, perform at a faster rate and make fewer mistakes than those in the control group. Panax ginseng should not be confused with either Siberian ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosis) or American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius).

Focus is manufactured according to the highest pharmaceutical standards. Individual ingredients are well-researched, natural, safe and effective.
