There are obstacles in reading, writing and calculating. For example, "+" is often written as "-", "b" is written as "d", and "6" is regarded as "9", typos, missing words, and so on.

　　The treatment of ADHD is mainly comprehensive treatment, drugs (central stimulants and non-central stimulants) and non-drug treatments (such as behavior therapy, training, school intervention, etc.). Studies have shown that drug therapy is the most important quality method, and behavioral therapy is mainly to increase the frequency of children''s correct behavior through praise and rewards, and to reduce the occurrence of wrong behavior through measures such as intentional neglect. At present, a comprehensive treatment plan of drug therapy plus behavioral therapy is generally adopted.

　　So, in addition to the professional guidance of the doctor, can parents also control their children’s ADHD symptoms through diet? The answer is yes, and some studies have shown that eating large amounts of tyrosine and salicylate Food and the addition of condiments, artificial colors, and food contaminated with lead can aggravate the symptoms of hyperactivity.

On the contrary, as long as children with ADHD limit these foods, their symptoms can be alleviated to varying degrees. Among them, common foods containing tyrosine include noodles, pastries, etc.; common foods containing methyl salicylic acid include tomatoes, apples, oranges, etc.; do not add spicy condiments, such as pepper, to the diet, and should not be used Yellow pigment of tartar, such as shellfish, scarlet, mandarin, etc.; eat too few foods containing artificial colors, additives, preservatives, flavorings, etc.; lead foods such as preserved eggs, puffed foods and popcorn should be eaten less And other foods; eat less aluminum-containing foods such as fritters, fried foods, etc.

　　 Eat more foods rich in zinc. Because zinc is a trace element in the human body, it is closely related to the growth and development of the human body. Zinc deficiency often leads to children''s loss of appetite, stunting, and loss of intelligence. Therefore, eating zinc-rich foods, such as eggs, liver, beans, peanuts, etc., is helpful to improve intelligence and concentration.

　　 should also eat iron-rich foods. Because iron is the raw material for hematopoiesis, iron deficiency can cause brain dysfunction, affect children''s mood, and increase the symptoms of hyperactivity. Therefore, ADHD children should eat iron-rich foods such as liver, poultry blood, lean blood, etc.
