Well Being

It is common knowledge that one must take care of themselves. One of the ways of taking care of ourselves is by exercising.

The release of the hormone called dopamine is increased whenever we exercise. This simply means that whenever the person with ADHD exercises, their dopamine is increased, therefore improving their focus and attention span.

Endorphins are also released during an excessive exercise. These hormones are the body’s response to pain. Endorphins help soothe the pain, thus giving our body that ‘good-feeling’ and euphoria after we exercise.

What is Mindfulness Meditation?

It is an alternative treatment for ADHD where an individual gives an extra attention to their thoughts, emotions and other body sensations.

How can Mindfulness help those who have ADHD?

Mindfulness Meditation helps develop the patient’s skills such as managing their attention and managing their focus. Not only that, it also helps the patient to be aware of their emotional state. If the patient is aware of their emotional state, their tendency to react impulsively is lessened, which is the common problem for those individuals who have ADHD.
