The findings of a new study suggest that exercise can overcome cognitive decline. Parents who diligently exercise will reduce cognitive decline up to 36 percent.
In a study published in the journal Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, researchers said that parents with moderate to high physical activity had a 36 percent lower cognitive impairment risk. They also have better memory and functionality, than parents who exercise less.
Researchers monitored 6,400 people over 65 with an activity tracker for a week. They also assess people's cognitive abilities through a series of tasks.
After three years have passed, parents who have moderate to high physical activity are significantly less likely to experience cognitive problems. Precisely those who lack physical activity tend to experience a decrease in cognitive matters.
Recent reports add scientific evidence if physical activity is associated with better brain health. Exercise has been shown to improve blood flow to the brain, which can stimulate the growth of new blood vessels and cells.
