Kids with ADHD have a very hard time focusing, which leads to difficulty surrounding schoolwork. A big factor that can impact these kid’s ability to focus is food. According to kidshealth.org, children with ADHD are driven to more fat laden foods which does not help their brain focus. 

Foods impacts a lot on how people with ADHD do and how they feel. It’s a big struggle for them because they want to manage what they eat because they don’t want to have too much energy but also not wanting to have too little energy. Giving them unhealthily relationships to food.  It’s hard to be aware of what you are eating because you want to eat that food so bad. Foods like sweets (cookies, pastries, etc)  and candy can make them turn off. 

All of this information has led us to conclude that kids with ADHD and their schoolwork are greatly effected by foods that they eat, and we would like to be a part of the change to fix that.
