Keep fit and fight Alzheimer’s
To cut your risk of Alzheimer’s by more than half, just do this for 20 minutes twice a week: walk.
Exercising for 20 to 30 minutes a couple of times a week not only slashed Alzheimer’s risk by as much as 60 percent in a study but also cut the risk of regular dementia in half.
43% of Indonesia’s population lives in urban areas and recent studies have shown that people living in cities are more at risk to killer diseases then rural citizens.
Lifestyle vs. Genes
In the study, midlife exercise appeared to be key in warding off mental decline later in life. And those who had genes that made them more susceptible to Alzheimer’s reaped the greatest protective benefits from physical activity. Great to know that genes don’t necessarily control your destiny, right? Your health and well being are in your hands. Indonesia has a huge supply of healthy food , great opportunities to exercise and stay fit can be part of your routine every day.
Little Effort, Big Rewards
People in the study didn’t have to exercise hard to protect their brain, either. A couple of moderately intense workouts a week was all it took. Researchers suspect that exercise protects the brain by promoting blood vessel health and boosting the brain’s ability to repair damage.
