Brisk walking lowers dementia risk
A recent study published in the Journal of Neuroscience has shown that maintaining walking speed among the elderly reduces the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease and dementia. The results indicated that those who walk faster than their peers are 50% less likely to experience cognitive decline, and their chances of developing dementia decreased by 60%. Brain imaging also revealed that they have a larger volume in the hippocampus, the area responsible for memory formation. This emphasizes the importance of maintaining physical activity levels to lower the risks of neurological diseases as one ages.
