Apples
Who doesn’t love a juicy and crunchy apple? Apples are an excellent source of complex carbohydrates, include fiber from the skin. The reason you want to give your child complex carbohydrates is to provide enough fuel for the overactive brain. Glucose, which is derived from carbohydrates, is the main fuel for an active brain, and giving your child quality carbohydrates will keep that brain functioning at a higher level.
It has also been found that by giving your kid complex carbohydrates prior to going to bed can help calm their ADHD symptoms and help them sleep more soundly.
It should be noted, however, that apples do have a chemical call salicylates, which are present in aspirin and other analgesics, and this can cause some children’s ADHD symptoms to worsen rather than getting better. If that happens, try other fruits present on this list.
