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.
