I’ve read a bit about these things after my kids bought me a portable Nintendo gadget with a couple of the Brain exercise games. They do seem to help, according to studies. But what other studies have shown is that they really help improve your ability … to do Brain exercise games.

Kind of like practicing golf builds muscles and strength and coordination, which would also be strengths if you wanted say, take up tennis. But practicing golf doesn’t teach you tennis.

And then there’s studies that have shown that seniors who do crosswords have healthier minds.

One thing every ADHD expert has told us is that going to a real gym, or just starting exercising on your own, can do wonders for ADHD. As long as you don’t make exercising and working out into another addiction.
