ADD / ADHD / Autism
ADD, ADHD is estimated to be the most prevalent psychological disorder among children today.
An estimated 10 to 20% of school-age children are currently prescribed drugs to treat this disorder. Concurrently, the number of children diagnosed with autism is exploding with as many as 1.5 million Americans considered to have this disorder.
Kids4FitKids Foundation is addressing this growing problem among our children with nutrition programs that have
been designed in partnership with Martek BioSciences to provide two essential fatty acids: docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid (ARA).
DHA is a major structural and functional element of all membranes in the gray matter of the brain and the retina of the eye. DHA supplementation is optimal in the brain and eye development of infants and school age children.
In our fast paced, fast food society, most of our children are not receiving sufficient amounts of DHA and ARA
in their diets. We believe that this fact is a significant factor in the explosive rise of ADD, ADHD and autism. Clinical studies are increasingly reporting the
positive correlation between increased supplementation of DHA Omega-3 fatty acids and benefits shown for children with learning disabilities, behavioral problems and
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
Also, children who received supplemental DHA and Omega-3 fatty acids were found to have decreased cholesterol levels, improved behavior, and reduced asthma symptoms.
Our all natural whole food nutrition programs were developed by our registered dietician and contain organic
fruits and vegetables and DHA Omega-3 fatty acid from the only natural vegetarian source micro-algae oil developed in a patented process by Martek BioSciences. In
addition, our nutrition programs have been tested and approved by the ADD and Bi-Polar Research Foundation and recommended as an essential component of holistic
wellness programs for adults and children diagnosed with ADD, ADHD and Bi-polar disorder.
