Let's Walk, Can Prevent Senility

Effective help someone who is experiencing symptoms of memory loss, including Alzheimer's disease diagnosed Hidayatullah.com--the latest research in the United States shows that walking about five miles, or about seven miles per week reduces the risk of developing the disease or Alzheimer's memory. As quoted from page Daily Mail, a walk on a regular basis to strengthen working memory in the brain.

This effectively help a person who began experiencing symptoms of memory loss, including those already diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Using MRI scanning techniques, the research team studied the relationship between body activity on a regular basis and their effects on brain structures of Alzheimer's disease or other memory.

Dr. Cyrus Raji of the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine said, "We found that walking five miles every week to protect the structure of the brain for 10 years in people with Alzheimer's. We found that a slower decline in their memory five years."

The research team drew the conclusion that through ongoing analysis for a decade. They involve at least 426 people aged between 70 and 80 years, which consisted of 299 healthy individuals, 83 patients with symptoms of memory loss, and 44 patients Alzhaimer. They noted the intensity of walking habits and all respondents.

Ten years later, they do a scan to see changes in brain volume of all respondents. As a result, respondents who did a lot of physical activity have a better brain volume than those with less motion.

"Alzheimer's is a disease that damages the brain. The disease can not be cured by foot, but at least that activity can enhance the resilience of the brain, thereby reducing the bad effects," said Raji.
