Navigating Thanksgiving Dinner with ADHD: What to Eat First for a Focus-Friendly Feast 🦃

🦃🥦🦃🍎🦃🥕🦃🥗 🦃 🥔 🦃


When ADHD is part of the picture, Thanksgiving dinner can be a sensory overload. To kick off your feast with focus in mind, start with protein-rich options like turkey. Protein helps regulate energy levels and attention, setting a solid foundation for the rest of the meal. Pair it with complex carbohydrates like sweet potatoes 🍠 broccoli 🥦 salad for a balanced start, promoting sustained energy without the sugar rush.

Remember, moderation is key—creating a well-rounded plate can enhance both the taste and your ability to stay engaged throughout the celebration. #ADHDfriendlyThanksgiving #FocusOnFood #lifefitbrainfit
