DESCRIPTION: Exercise has been shown to be effective in controlling attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder symptoms, and carries only positive side effects.

Other benefits of exercise include a strengthening of cancer defenses (Exercise & Breast Cancer, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/exercise-breast-cancer/ and Is It the Diet, the Exercise, or Both?, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/is-it-the-diet-the-exercise-or-both/), an improvement in cognition (Reversing Cognitive Decline, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/reversing-cognitive-decline/), and a longer lifespan (What Women Should Eat to Live Longer, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/what-women-should-eat-to-live-longer/).

This reminds me of other safe, natural, side-effect free solutions like tap water gargling to prevent the common cold (Can Gargling Prevent the Common Cold?, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/can-gargling-prevent-the-common-cold/) and drinking water to improve scholastic performance in kids (Does a Drink of Water Make Children Smarter?, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/does-a-drink-of-water-make-children-smarter/). The fact that they are cost-free is both an advantage (they're free!) and disadvantage (no corporate budget driving their promotion so we never hear about this kind of research). If only corporations could find a way to stuff exercise into a pill bottle for their stockholders...

Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/treating-adhd-without-stimulants/ and he'll try to answer it!
