Opis

Many children have difficulty concentrating,§controlling impulses and remaining still. When these§create significant problems at home and school the§child may be diagnosed with attention deficit§hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). ADHD is the most§prevalent childhood disorder worldwide. A genetic§predisposition has been identified, and this may be§exacerbated by environmental influences including§diet and nutrition. This book outlines the growing§interest in omega-3 fatty acids, brain function and§mental health, and reports the results of a large§study that was conducted as a PhD project with§children who have ADHD symptoms. In a controlled§scientific trial, the children were given omega-3s§with or without micronutrients, or a placebo for 15§weeks and then all were given omega-3s and§micronutrients for a further 15 weeks. Significant§improvements were seen in the omega-3 groups in§attention, impulsivity and hyperactivity compared§with placebo over 15 weeks, and these continued to§improve over 30 weeks with notable improvements in§50% of the children. Therefore in some children§supplementation with omega-3s may correct suboptimal§levels and provide a safe treatment for symptoms of ADHD.
