Abstract

Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and age-related cognitive decline are distinct yet overlapping conditions with neurobiological, nutritional, and inflammatory components. This review synthesizes current research on the role of dietary interventions and nutritional supplements in mitigating symptoms of ADHD and promoting healthy cognitive aging. It presents evidence-based discussion on dietary components such as omega-3 fatty acids, herbal supplements, antioxidants, and structured dietary patterns like the Mediterranean diet. By analyzing shared mechanisms like oxidative stress, neurotransmitter dysregulation, and Neuroinflammation, we propose integrative strategies that leverage nutritional therapies to improve executive function, emotional regulation, and long-term brain resilience. The review underscores the need for multidisciplinary, individualized approaches to enhance cognitive health across the lifespan.
