People with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) often struggle with maintaining a healthy diet and nutrition. The intricate interplay of factors such as impulsivity, executive functioning difficulties, sensory sensitivities, medication side effects, irregular eating habits, and emotional eating contributes to the struggles faced by those with ADHD. These challenges can manifest in choices that prioritize convenience over nutrition, difficulty in planning and preparing balanced meals, and sensitivities that limit food variety. Recognizing and understanding these factors is crucial for developing targeted strategies and support systems to help individuals with ADHD establish and maintain healthy eating habits.
