Results Show Excercise Helps Dementia

There was no relationship between higher fitness levels and brain changes in the group of people without dementia.”People with early Alzheimer’s disease may be able to preserve their brain function for a longer period of time by exercising regularly and potentially reducing the amount of brain volume lost. Evidence shows decreasing brain volume is tied to poorer cognitive performance, so preserving more brain volume may translate into better cognitive performance,” Dr. Burns stated.This is one of the first studies help free diet pills to explore the relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness and Alzheimer’s disease,” said Dr. Burns.
