The Influence of Diet on Brain Function and ADHD Symptoms
Diet plays a crucial role in brain function and ADHD symptoms. Different diets work better for different individuals, but common themes exist. For individuals with severe neurodiversity or ADHD symptoms, an elimination diet can be beneficial in identifying food sensitivities impacting the gut-brain connection. Research shows a strong bi-directional relationship between the gut and brain, where food allergies can lead to gut inflammation, affecting brain function and potentially resulting in neurodivergent symptoms. Trying an elimination diet by removing certain food groups may lead to a significant reduction in mental health and focus symptoms, as the body's processing of food can either provide good energy or interfere with the brain's energy needs.
