As quoted from the article:

The power of physical fitness

“Of everything on this list, the strongest evidence is for the positive impact of regular exercise on reducing the risk of cognitive decline and dementia,” says neurologist Jagan Pillai, MD. “Both aerobic and isometric muscle-toning exercises have been shown to be very effective.”

In fact, the Alzheimer’s Research and Prevention Foundation claims that exercise can reduce your risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease by 50 percent. It has also been found to slow further deterioration in people who already have started to develop cognitive problems.

If exercise is not a part of your life, it can be intimidating to think of initiating a difficult fitness regimen. So start slow.

You don’t have to sign up for a fancy gym membership, either. You can incorporate simple routines to your everyday life. You can park farther away from your destination; you can take the stairs instead of elevators or escalators; you can take a daily walk around the block or even pace the room when you’re talking on the phone.

Thank you for being part of this community and supporting our mission to prevent Alzheimer’s and promote brain health. Together, we are making a difference!
