Can MILA help ADHD

April 2nd, 2009

Studies have confirmed there is a connection between omega-3 fatty acid deficiency and ADHD.  Specialists now believe many childhood behavior and learning problems may be associated with Omega-3 deficiencies.  Children with ADHD, compared with non-ADHD children had much lower blood levels of DHA, an omega-3 fatty acid necessary for normal function of the eyes and the cerebral cortex.

This deficiency has a greater impact on males because their requirements for essential fatty acids tend to be, much higher. Boys are diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder at a much higher rate than girls.  In the past children have usually been put on a medication such as ritalin, which in my experience has it’s own issues.  Better nutrition may be an option to be looked at, to start at least.

The typical American diet is highly deficient in Omega-3s.  Parents of ADHD children should include food high in Omega-3 fatty acids daily.  Since Omega-3’s cannot be produced by the human body, it must be included in the diet.  The problem here is that many kids will not eat fish or take fish oil, not to mention the possible concerns of mercury.  Many people use flax, which must be ground fresh or it can turn rancid.  Flax is also not recommended for pregnant or nursing mothers.

The plant source with highest and safest levels of Omega-3’s content is MILA, by LifeMax.  With 3,000mg of Omega-3 per serving.

MILA, by LifeMax is a raw whole food that is tasteless and odorless, and can be incorporated into virtually any diet.  MILA is rich in Omega-3s, anti-oxidants, fiber and protein.   Diets high in Omega-3s have been shown to help lower cholesterol; nearly 98% of the population has diets deficient in this essential nutrient that the human body can not produce on its own.

 MILATM by LifeMax is categorized a whole food by the FDA with no restrictions. It is the only delivery source of Omega 3’s with a recommended daily allowance (RDA). This is the healthiest and safest natural food source on the planet.
