One of the issues that most concern us today is to age well, and very specifically, to grow older with a lucid head. Prevent Alzheimer's is, in this sense, one of the issues that we most worries the elderly.And although the human being is increasingly able to live more years, he is not able to cure these symptoms of age but to prevent them.
Do Exercise reduces the risk of Alzheimer's disease
Now, thanks to a study, conducted by the Cleveland Clinic, we know that exercising is also good for preventing this disease.According to this study, exercise can help to increase the power of the brain in people who are at a higher risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.The findings suggest that even moderate amounts of physical activity can help slow the progression of the disease deprived of memory, according to reports The New York Times .
In The study, published in the journal Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience by researchers from the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio, involved almost 100 men and women between 65 and 89 years of age, many of whom had a family history of Alzheimer's disease.
The researchers asked the volunteers how often and intensely they exercised.About half had not exercised much in recent years, but the other half walked, ran, or exercised moderately several times a week.
In the end, the scientists divided the volunteers into four groups, according to their status, their e4 gene and their exercise habits.group included people with the e4 gene who did not exercise; another was formed by those with the e4 gene who exercised; and the other two groups were composed of those who did not have the gene that did or did not exercise regularly.
According to the results of brain scans, the brains of sedentary people tended to resemble more than those of sedentary people who had an Alzheimer's risk situation , while people with the e4 gene who exercised and remained physically active had better brain functions.In addition, the brains of sedentary people with High risk of suffering from Alzheimer's disease seemed to approach structurally towards dysfunction.
In conclusion: You have to exercise more! Already more than demonstrated all the benefits it brings to our body.Why not start today?
