Good and Bad Food for ADD

Friday, March 3, 2006

I been conducting some very informal experimentation on myself regarding diet. And after about 18 months here my list of good and bad foods for ADD symptom management.

The Foods 

• The Good: Flaxseed Oil, Lecithin, Red grapes, Meat, Tuna/Fish, Fresh greens, Oats/oat bran, brown rice, Eggs, nuts 
• The Bad: Bread, rice crackers, chips, pasta, Sugar, Wheat/Flour
  

Now, I really don't know if all I'm experiencing is good health, but I don't really care. When I eat the good foods I think and focus better and that's all that matters. If I have a binge on the bad foods my brain is fried, can't seem to sit still, can't seem to hold a thought for any length of time. It's awful.

Breakfast 

Here's my breakfast recipe for a happy brain day (well about 75% of the time):

I make a mixture of LSA mix (Linseed, almond meal and sunflower seed meal), Lecithin and rolled oats/oat bran or both. I keep it in a big plastic cereal tub.

I can add this to any other breakfast cereal or I add it to the following smoothy.

• Non-fat milk
• A piece of fruit (like a banana or frozen mango. Yum!) 
• 1 raw egg
• 2 tbl spoons of flaxseed oil
• 3 tbl spoons of that mixture above

Put it all in a blender and blend like crazy. 

Days that begin with the above are far better than days that don't.
