Even a little exercise may help decrease the risk of developing dementia
Seniors who get little to no exercise have a 50 percent greater risk of dementia compared with those who regularly exercise in moderate or heavy amounts, new research shows. According to the researchers, brain scans of study participants showed those who exercised were better able to withstand the effects of aging on the brain. Study participants aged 75 or older gained the most protective benefit from exercise against the onset of dementia.
