EFAs and ADHD

Here's an interesting fact that I just learned while researching EFAs and how they relate to health: Raising levels of essential fatty acids in the diets of those with Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder may help to reduce symptoms and behaviors of the condition.

That's good news for parents and teachers everywhere! The study showed low levels of both Omega-3 and Omega-6 in children with ADHD and thus concluded that with replacement of these EFAs to their diets, via food sources or supplimentation, they could lessen or eliminate symptoms caused by the condition.

I decided to share this in my blog because sometimes I feel as though I suffer from such a condition, only mildly though. I feel more, though, that the more children I see getting fed a not-so-nutritious diet of sugar, candy, soda and processed foods the more I am able to recognize their behavior as having ADHD tendencies, NO JOKE!! Also, my friend (we'll call him) Superman informed me yesterday after I did my research that he had been supplimenting with salmon oil to reduce his own ADHD behavioral tendencies. This was what really encouraged me to blog about such a topic because it proved to me that it was a very valid topic in relation to health, not only to the bone health but to mental health, as well.
