\"FoodFood is not the enemy – and eating correctly is easier than you think. In our previous article<\/a>. we spoke about foods that help the brain work properly. This time we are going to tell you about foods that can badly affect children with brains that work differently. Remember, food choices can affect your mental health.<\/p>

We are not telling you that you should avoid all foods with this element, but we are saying that by \u2018test and measure\u2019 you should try to get to know what foods affect your child\u2019s mental health.<\/p>

Be aware that large doses of vitamins and minerals can be poisonous to a child and can be harmful if your child is taking ADHD pills. We cannot say that ADHD can be treated with healthy supplements, but we ask you to work towards a diet that has a lot of fresh, whole foods, that are not processed – such as whole grains, legumes, fresh fruits and vegetables. Leave out foods that have labels listing a million different ingredients that you can\u2019t pronounce – leave out processed food products. Instead give your child a healthy diet of fresh foods.<\/p>

\"\"Experts say that too much caffeine, too much fast foods and other foods that have little health value can cause children to behave in a way that might look as though he\/she has ADHD.
