Only 10% of children play outside on a daily basis.

When children wih Attention Defecit Disorder performed outdoor activities on a daily basis showed a need of medication reduced by up to 50%



Well, the above statistics are from another study which is not linked to, but the study that is linked to supports those facts.

No wonder I never see any children who look "fit" with ADD, they are all...well...chunky =P

Go outside or get a disease...seems like a simple choice.

I wonder if this is just what we get for urbanization. The truth is, people aren't meant to be squished into city centres.

All the ADD people I know are super-athletic. . . .


That's true with me. I was really athletic in my teen years. Dang, I'm hungry. Anyone else hungry?

Fitting the stereotype I see? That was purposeful. And not so smooth, as it is in people that have ADD.

Sorry, you lost me with all your double negatives.

Certainly. ADD is genetic. I have it, my mom has it, my grandma had it...

Yes, it is in some cases, but my brother has it, and no one else in the family has it.
