A member asked:
Does fitness have the same benefits as taking ritalin (methylphenidate) for a person with adhd.?

ADHD: Is due to poor diet and vitamin deficiency. Fitness ? Refers to exercise and is beneficial to all. Drop all forms of sugar and get a good multivitamin and see if it helps.

Fitness benefits: Oregon health and science university reviewed over 5, 000 studies and concluded that adhd drugs don't solve the global adhd issues of impulsivity, inattentiveness or hyperactivity. Physical exercise especially one with a stretching routine will be more beneficial as it has no downside and multiple upsides. Listen to my free podcasts at http://bit.Ly/153fa87.
