29: Importance of Quality Ingredients for ADHD with Autumn Smith
On this week\u2019s episode of Soaring Child, Autumn Smith shares the importance of quality ingredients and how buying the right foods can help with ADHD.
Autumn, a certified eating psychology coach and expert in holistic nutrition, explains that the quality ingredients critical to a child\u2019s health are whole foods. Always try to buy organic and non-GMO foods, and stay away from sugar, additives, and ingredients you can\u2019t pronounce.
Be sure to buy 100% grass-fed and grass finished beef (preferably regeneratively raised), pasture-raised chicken and pork with no antibiotics, and pasteurized eggs. Greens and superfoods are also important to get those critical micronutrients.
Through a few simple dietary practices like prioritizing protein, stabilizing blood sugar, and minding micronutrients, kids with ADHD can maintain their physical and mental wellness well into adulthood.
