Adhd: Lentil and Veggie Stew
ADHD-Specific Benefits: 🥣 Lentils (Green or Brown): High in plant-based protein (~18g per cup cooked), which supports dopamine production—a key neurotransmitter involved in attention and focus. Rich in iron and zinc, essential for cognitive performance and impulse control. Provide fiber and complex carbs, which help regulate blood sugar and promote steady energy. 🧅 Onion, Carrots, and Celery: Offer a spectrum of phytonutrients, vitamin A, and antioxidants to reduce inflammation that may exacerbate cognitive symptoms. 🌿 Thyme and Turmeric: Thyme contains carvacrol, which may positively affect neurotransmitter activity. Turmeric (curcumin) supports brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and anti-inflammatory pathways, helpful for mood and focus. 🌱 Spinach or Kale: Rich in folate, magnesium, iron, and vitamin K, all of which support brain health, attention, and nervous system regulation. 🫒 Olive Oil: Supplies healthy monounsaturated fats, which may improve memory and protect against oxidative stress in the brain.
