あらすじ・解説
The four cornerstones of ADHD treatment – sleep, nutrition, movement, and mindfulness – don't just improve symptoms but can also close the 6-12 year longevity gap that exists between people with ADHD and their neurotypical peers.
• Sleep deprivation worsens ADHD-like symptoms including memory problems, impulsivity, emotional dysregulation, and attention issues
• Adults should aim for 7-9 hours of sleep nightly to manage symptoms and improve health
• People with ADHD are more likely to develop diet-related conditions like diabetes and heart disease
• A brain-healthy diet includes colorful vegetables and fruits, lean protein, whole grains, and healthy fats
• Proper hydration is crucial for brain function, not just a funny ADHD quirk
• Regular exercise improves both general health and directly mitigates ADHD symptoms
• Aerobic activity before concentrated work can significantly improve focus and performance
• Mindfulness practices reduce distractibility, impulsivity, and improve emotional regulation
• The four cornerstones work synergistically – improvement in one area strengthens your ability to improve in others
