ADHD and Nutrition: A Health Brief
A review of 37 studies suggests that choosing plant-based foods over animal-based ones, particularly red and processed meat, can reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, Type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and all-cause mortality. Another study found that a lack of nurturing in childhood is linked to accelerated biological aging in older adults. Additionally, a national birth cohort study in Israel revealed that adults diagnosed with ADHD in adulthood were nearly three times more likely to develop dementia later in life.
