Description: The thought of losing control of your mind is terrifying at any age. Here's how movement and exercise can delay or even prevent the onset of Alzheimer's and dementia - and why it's simpler than we think.
Preventing dementia and Alzheimer’s naturally is easier than you think!
Research around the cognitive benefits of movement and exercise grows more compelling each year. \"Of all the lifestyle changes that have been studied, taking regular physical exercise appears to be one of the best things you can do to reduce your risk of getting dementia,\" – UK Alzheimer's Society.
\"Exercise is like a super-charged 401K for your brain, only better, because of its immediate, long- lasting and protective effects on the brain,\" says NYU neuroscientist, Dr Wendy Suzuki It's imperative to stay in motion and exercise to maintain cognitive function as we age. Movement significantly strengthens two of the key targets of both diseases, the hippocampus and the prefrontal cortex.
Exercise is not going to cure Alzheimer's or dementia but it will help delay the development of the diseases Other significant benefits to moving and exercise include stronger muscles, bones, cardiovascular strength, improved respiratory function and more - all of which will will kick in nearly immediately.
