ADHD
Diet may help ease attention disorder
A diet rich in fatty acids can help treat children with Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD), a new study finds. The condition is characterised by an inability to concentrate and hyperactivity.

After a three-month trial, children given a supplement rich in the fatty acids showed marked improvement in their behaviours, say the Oxford University researchers who led the study. Specifically, the children were less shy and anxious, reports BBC News.

The fatty acids are naturally found in oily fish like mackerel, sardines, salmon and tuna. Other foods rich in the substances include nuts and green, leafy vegetables like spinach and cabbage.
