New Study Finds Exercise May Help Reduce Risk of Alzheimer’s Disease

Subtitle: Study findings suggest that regular exercise may help to protect against the development of Alzheimer’s disease.

A new study has found that people who exercise regularly may have a lower risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. The study, which was published in the journal Neurology, looked at data from over 2,200 people who were followed for an average of 10 years. The researchers found that people who exercised regularly had a 45% lower risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease than those who did not exercise regularly. The benefits of exercise were seen regardless of age, sex, or ethnicity.

The researchers believe that exercise may help to reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease by improving blood flow to the brain and by reducing inflammation. Exercise may also help to improve cognitive function and to reduce the risk of developing other chronic diseases, such as heart disease and stroke.

The findings of this study are encouraging and suggest that exercise may be a simple and effective way to help reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. More research is needed to confirm the findings of this study and to determine the optimal type and amount of exercise for reducing the risk of Alzheimer’s disease.
