Exercise benefits the body from the neck down. True or false?
False.
Exercise benefits the brain
as well. Aerobic exercise, such as walking, helps ward off
Alzheimer’s disease, dementia and memory loss, according to a
report by Dr. Arthur Kramer,
professor of human perception and performance at the University of
Illinois.
Dr. Kramer asserts that our brains tend to shrink as we age; however, aerobic exercise reverses the shrinkage, particularly in the region of the brain that processes memory. To improve your brain health, step outdoors and begin walking.
