Dr. Johnson is hosting a health workshop to help parents improve their childrens abilities to focus and succeed in schoolwithout the use of Ritalin, Adderall or other stimulant medications for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). According to the Centers for Disease Control, more than 5.9 million children age 3 to 17 have been diagnosed with ADHD, and the rate of diagnosis increased 5 percent each year from 2003 to 2011. This rate of diagnosis has increased the number of prescriptions for Ritalin, which is known to cause long-lasting changes in brain cell structure and function, similar to the effects of cocaine. The dependence on prescription stimulants is affecting mothers as well. From 2002 to 2010, Adderall prescriptions increased 750 percent in women between the ages of 26 and 39. This workshop, titled Raising Healthy Families, will explain how subtle lifestyle factors can focus, attention and motivation in children and adults alike. Attendees will learn: - How a simple morning routine can boost memory and concentration. - Why sugar consumption is the quickest route to poor focus and poorer attendance. - How to predispose your kids to healthy decision making. Families can attain life-lasting health without depending on medication, which is why Dr. Johnson is hosting this one-of-a-kind workshop at Johnson Family Chiropractic on July 1st, 2014 at 6:30 pm.
