Reviews
Since publication of this book in 2001, Putnam's arguments have been widely accepted by mainstream physicians and ADHD advocacy groups., ADHD, along with obesity and Type 2 Diabetes, has become a childhood epidemic partly because exercise is no longer a routine part of childhood life., A regular exercise program can supplement or replace the need for medication, without the harmful side effects., Stephen C. Putnam's Nature's Ritalin for the Marathon Mind details an obvious but often overlooked ADHD treatment: strenuous movement. Provides suggestions for motivation, scheduling, and determining the right amount of activity.
