You already Know that exercise can add years to your life, but now there’s evidence that it also can take years off your aging mind. Research suggests that regular aerobic exercise may delay or even reverse age-related brain decline, including that associated with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. According to a review of studies in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, moderate physical activity, anything that leaves you breathless, can increase both the volume of brain tissue and the brains ability to function.
In a study at the University of Kansas Medical Center, researchers found that patients with early Alzheimer’s who worked out regularly showed less deterioration in the ares of the brain linked to memory than most sedentary patients with the disease. Other studies indicate that high levels of physical fitness have a positive effect on mental plasticity, or the brain’s capacity for growth and development. A Bowflex Treadmill, with its’ proven quality and many options for all level of users, is a perfect way to help keep your mind and body well fit.
