1. Protein based lunch 🥙
I don’t diet for weight, I diet for brain function. There is some research suggesting that people with ADHD might have different energy metabolism, which could impact how their bodies use carbohydrates. Some studies indicate that individuals with ADHD might have insulin resistance or issues with blood sugar regulation, leading to challenges in using carbs efficiently for energy. However, more research is needed to fully understand this relationship. It’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice. That’s why I choose more protein based lunch. It makes me less sleepy in the afternoon.

2. Use gym ball as chair
The ability to move and bounce can serve as a physical outlet for restless energy, helping to reduce fidgeting and increase concentration.The slight bouncing and movement provide sensory stimulation, which can be calming and help maintain attention.

3. Chewing gum
Chewing gum provides constant sensory input, which can help maintain focus and attention. The repetitive motion of chewing can help release restless energy, making it easier to concentrate.

4. Stand up every 50 minutes
Frequent breaks prevent boredom and reduce the tendency to become distracted or lose focus.
Moving around helps release excess energy, which can make it easier to sit still and concentrate when you return to your task.

5. Noise cancelling headphones
I love headphones! When I was a kid my mom always got mad at me for using them too much. But it creates a safe environment for me. By reducing external noise, they create a quieter, more controlled environment that can reduce stress and anxiety.With fewer auditory interruptions, it’s easier to concentrate on tasks, whether it’s studying, working, or relaxing.
