The not-so-great news: Scientists now believe that one in five Americans over age 65 experiences some form of mild cognitive impairment (MCI), which may affect memory, decision-making, or reasoning skills. In many cases, MCI advances into more severe forms of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease.
The good news: Mounting scientific evidence proves that a lot of our risk for any form of cognitive impairment is in our own hands. Our lifestyle choices each and every day (including these 13 healthy habits) can drastically increase or decrease the likelihood that we'll be diagnosed with dementia.
Research just published in the Frontiers in Endocrinology suggests that one of those habits-exercise-and a specific form of it may be best for our brains. Individuals who performed moderate-to-vigorous aerobic exercise 3 times per week that increased in intensity over the course of the 6-month study experienced a boost in healthy brain biomarkers.
Previous studies have found that aerobic exercise (AKA any form of cardio, from walking to cycling to dancing) can boost the amount of gray and white matter in the brain, enhance blood flow to the brain and preserve or perhaps even improve memory.

Just stop watching any video with Dementia Joe in it and you will be fine.
It is already summer where I am.
Some people equate fit and capable the way a ghetto denizen regards a job.
And they resent anyone who reminds them of their folly.
im not sure which is worse, the disease or their ‘cure’
“But exercising while in a persistent state of inflammation”
What does that mean?
Although at my age it’s difficult to remember exactly, but sex, sex, sex, and more sex can be an excellent source of aerobic exercise...
bttt
Oh BS. These people just make stuff up in order to farther their own bottom lines.
The Deep State Cabal is heavy into symbolism. Perhaps this helps....
“These people just make stuff up in order to farther their own bottom lines.”
If you walked 8 miles per week, how would it benefit “these people”?
Not that I’m trying to rationalize my laziness, but recall Rush mentioning numerous times how he hated to exercise..and look at how bright he was to the very end!
Isn’t that something?
I may be in that age bracket but I am not suffering from...uh...you know, the thing. Come on, man!
Yeah, but he wasn’t very old.
There is a character in one of the old black and white movies (probably late 1930s) who said that whenever he got the urge to exercise, he would lie down until the feeling passed.
That sounds like a WC Fields comment but I’m not for sure.
“I may be in that age bracket but I am not suffering from...uh...you know, the thing. Come on, man!”
One shouldn’t drink Caucasians before noon. Stick to beer and weed in the mornings.
I’m pretty sure it was a different actor in that movie, but W.C. Fields may well have made the same comment.
It’s been attributed to a lot of people (though not Fields).
