Melbourne University researchers have released a study showing that older adults who participate in moderate exercise, can boost their brainpower and reduce the risk of Alzheimer's.The study showed that walking three times a week improved memory in adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a stage between normal aging and dementia. MCI is marked by mild forgetfulness, language problems, and other cognitive problems.
The Journal of the American Medical Association who published the research believes it is the first study to prove physical activity can effectively slow memory loss due to aging.
