Today’s Solutions: March 29, 2024

We all know that moving our bodies is critical for physical health, but it may also be critical for cognitive health, or more specifically, for preventing dementia. A systematic review of 36 studies found that regular exercise, including bicycling, jogging, walking, and swimming, is beneficial for slowing cognitive decline at all ages.

Dementia affects 5 to 8 percent of the population, but regular exercise, which improves blood flow to the brain, could reduce this number. Additionally, exercise usually brings us closer to nature and increases social interaction, both of which have also been shown to have cognitive benefits. So, whatever you do today, try and get outside for a walk. Your brain will thank you for it in the long run!
