land Medical Center reports that recent studies show kids with behavior prob- lems have low blood levels of omega-3 fatty acids, a nutrient vital for brain health. Children’s daily diets should contain omega-3-rich foods, such as chia, hemp, nuts and fatty fish. For chil- dren 12 and older, supplement with fish oil containing 1,200 milligrams (mg) of (DHA) docosahexaenoic acid and (EPA) eicosapentaenoic acid combined.
EASE ADHD
Restore Calm and Focus by Jenna Blumenfeld
A
lthough experts aren’t certain why it occurs, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
affects 3 to 5 percent of school-age children, causing symptoms such as inattentiveness, frenetic activity, anxiety and forgetfulness. Kids with ADHD typ- ically respond to drug prescriptions de- signed to provide calm and focus, but some carry unpleasant side effects like
appetite changes and muscle spasms. Experts suggest considering these natu- ral options to complement an afflicted child’s integrative treatment plan.

NATURALLY Nine Ways to Help
Try magnesium. Low levels of mag- nesium, also known as the calming mineral, are associated with restless legs, anxiety and irritability—all of which can exacerbate ADHD. For kids ages 4 to 8, start with 130 mg of magnesium in the morning. If the child has trouble sleep- ing, another dose before bed may help. Reduce the dose if loose stools occur.
Boost B vitamins. Vitamins B6
are important building blocks for brain neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine. Deficiency can impair nerve cell communication, hindering mem- ory, focus and attention. Encourage a child to eat B-packed organic foods like eggs, poultry, bell peppers, yams and spinach, and sprinkle B-vitamin-rich nutritional yeast on dishes like noodles and soup.
