There is an ongoing debate over whether certain foods can aggravate symptoms of ADHD. Some experts advise keep your shopping cart and refrigerators loaded up with the following foods:

• green, leafy vegetables 
• proteins, such as lean red meats and poultry
• unrefined sugars, such as Stevia, barley malt, agave, date sugar and rice syrup
• whole grains
• organic and homogenized dairy, goat’s milk
• soy products such as tofu and tempeh
• supplements including vitamin B complex, calcium and magnesium

In contrast, there are certain foods and other chemicals that should be restricted or avoided, if possible. These include: sugar, cheese, additives, hydrogenated oils, citrus, wheat, caffeine, salt, most candy, potato chips and other junk foods, artificial flavoring, coloring and artificial sweeteners like aspartame.
