February 24, 2006, Newsletter Issue #5: Fish Oil and ADHD

Tip of the Week

Here's a shocker: Not every kid or adult with ADHD wants to be on Ritalin. The CEO of JetBlue Airlines swears it would take away his creativity. It's a sure bet, though, that he eats right. If he takes a fish oil supplement, his ADHD may be manageable without the side effects of Ritalin he fears. Who would have thought one of the Omega 3 Products benefit and actually preserve one of the benefits of ADHD, namely creativity? Kids and adults with ADHD may be missing several essential fatty acids in the brain. Fish oil with Omega 3 is thought to lessen the often frustrating effects of ADHD. Omega 3 is composed of EPA and DHA. DHA makes up the dopamine and serotonin receptors. Without them, a connection is missing. Kids and adults can't concentrate, and may act out because of the imbalance. But fish oil and fish consumption can restore the balance. You or your child may one day found a major airline of your own! Until then, you're happy having an alternative to prescription drugs and lots of worry at home.
