Cope With ADD Without Medication

People who have Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) often have trouble focusing, and can have other problems like cognitive inflexibility. Here are some tips to help keep focused.

Steps

 * 1) Exercise regularly. There are many different kinds of exercise. If you choose to do cardio, then you can do it every day. There is also weight training. Weight training to gain muscle, should be done 2-3 times a week. Doing cardio, and weight training, will usually result in weight loss, if eating and sleep conditions are proper.

 * 3) Sleep enough. The minimum amount of sleep that you should be getting is 8 1/2 hours every day. This is necessary for synapses to form properly and store memories. If you are young and still growing then you should get a minimum of 9 hours of sleep per night. [[Image:Cope With ADD Without Medication Step 3.jpg|center|550px]]
