In this video blog, Dr. Matthew Davis, director of Crossroads Chiropractic, shares important information from today’s news sharing studies that show drugs used to for ADHD treatment in children often aren’t effective and cause numerous problematic side effects like sleep problems which can only make the problem worse. Experts say diet and exercise are more effective and more beneficial especially if combined with chiropractic care.
Approximately 6.6 million children in the U.S. between the ages of 4 and 17 years have been diagnosed with ADHD, and no one really knows what’s causing this condition. Many factors are likely involved, including poor nutrition and environmental toxins.
Many people assume that giving a child with ADHD treatment with drugs will make the symptoms disappear, but research reveals such expectations may be unrealistic. Worse, these medications often cause serious side effects, such as trouble falling asleep, shorter sleep duration, and worse sleep efficiency.
There are many natural methods that help children overcome ADHD symptoms, such as eliminating processed foods high in sugar, foods with additives and Genetically Modified Organism, aka-GMOs and improving gut health by consuming more fermented foods that contain probiotics.
Like with many other health conditions, exercise has also been proven to increase the ability to maintain focus, and improve working memory and cognitive flexibility. Experts say exercise can be viewed as natural medication for ADHD, as it triggers your brain to release dopamine and serotonin, which improve mood and boost cognitive performance.
