ADHD symptoms were shown among the children, and they were reduced after the diet was changed because there is an increased activity within certain parts of the brain. There are significant behavior changes, too, which have changed more activity in some parts of the brain.
To date, there was no significant study where the diet was found to affect the brain activities in children, but those who are active in the field of ADHD have carried out a study. They have found that a few changes in one’s diet can help him keep away or check the ADHD condition over a period which seriously affects the development and progress of kids in the long run.
Children With ADHD Brain Activity Find Changes Based On Their Diet
According to the findings of this study, researchers say that the relationship between brain activity and ADHD symptoms decreased drastically after a good brain diet.
Saartje Hontelez is the lead researcher and author of this study; she says that “the study results were already published with certain reports and the important step of this study is to have good nutrition in food to decrease the ADHD disease” and results shown about the subjective observation that behavior is confirmed by the brain scans objectively.
The study proves that the “brain is under the control of precuneus activity where the brain scan is performed among the children at the beginning to ending during the study process” after the result of the first scan, some children strictly followed the food diets based on the permits of some food items.
Eventually, after the result of the second scan, 53 children were listed as having good scans after and before the diet, and most of the parents had observed that there was a significant decrease of ADHD symptoms when such diets were taken.
For the children among the second scan results, precuneus activity is observed clearly, and the default mode brain network is the connected hub between the cortex of the brain.
According to the previous findings of this study, some children with ADHD symptoms have lower brain activity, whereas the treatment has increased the activity of Ritalin.
Hoteles is the senior author and researcher of this study; he says that “study findings had shown the matches with current knowledge among the brain areas” in the same way similar connections and ADHD brain activities disappeared after following certain food diets and taking the Ritalin medication.
The previous study proves that many children had not followed the food diets strictly, so eventually, ADHD symptoms were not decreased rather increased.
Researchers say that children must follow the food diet to have an instant decrease of ADHD symptoms to reduce the effects of brain activity.
According to the study, the Netherlands had faced a lot of troubles and suffered from the symptoms of ADHD where 6 percent of the children had minimal attention to the deficit disorder, which is linked with hyperactivity, and some ADHD symptoms are significantly reduced among some children based on the specific food diet.
Previous studies on ADHD symptoms showed that children no longer meet the ADHD criteria, with 60 percent following the diet correctly.
Researchers say that some fixed food diets are too difficult for a strict follow. However, food diets are not applied simply to children, so that it is very important to understand the biological relationship between ADHD symptoms and nutrition in a better way.
Many universities state that this study has proved that a good food diet can be applied to children to reduce ADHD symptoms to control the intestinal bacteria among the brain activity.
