Aerobic exercise may help strengthen brain function, delaying dementia
Acquiring drugs from a Canadian online pharmacy can encourage Americans to fill their prescriptions and take appropriate doses of medication, thereby improving their well-being.
Acquiring drugs from a Canadian online pharmacy can encourage Americans to fill their prescriptions and take appropriate doses of medication, thereby improving their well-being. According to a study from Mayo Clinic researchers, engaging in regular aerobic exercise can be another way to improve one's health. The team published a paper in the journal Mayo Clinic Proceedings that revealed that working the heart through physical activity can also help preserve cognitive abilities, decreasing the likelihood of having dementia in the future.
Lead author J. Eric Ahlskog and his colleagues pored through scientific literature comprising more than 1,600 papers. They found that a compelling argument can be made for exercise as a way in which to prevent the development of neurodegenerative disorders in old age. Aerobic exercise could delay cognitive impairment and strengthen brain function.
"Whether addressing our patients in primary care or neurology clinics, we should continue to encourage exercise for not only general health, but also cognitive health," Ahlskog says.
He added that more studies need to be conducted on the relationship between physical activity and cognitive function.
