Scientific evidence shows that regular aerobic conditioning lowers a person’s risk for Alzheimer’s disease.
In fact, some research suggests that as little as 15 minutes of daily brisk walking can do the trick.
Getting into the habit of taking a daily brisk walk with a friend is a triple threat to the disease because as you walk:
• Your heart will pump oxygen, nutrients, and proteins that boost brain cell function
• Your brain cells will get exercise from the stimulating conversation
• You’ll reduce stress by talking about what’s bothering you, and lowering stress supports brain health
