Study: Aerobic exercise is key to lowering the risk of dementia among the elderly
Regular exercise among older adults is critical to good health. It keeps aging bodies from becoming stiff and susceptible to chronic conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes and arthritis. But scientists find that maintaining optimum fitness in old age might also protect against another age-related problem: brain decline. In a major breakthrough, Rong Zhang, an expert […]

Keep moving for better cognitive function: Regular exercise delays brain deterioration in those at risk for Alzheimer’s
Exercising is one of the best things that older adults can do to reduce their risk of dementia, according to the findings of a recent randomized controlled trial (RCT). In a major breakthrough, Rong Zhang, a neurologist at the University of Texas Southwestern (UTSW) Medical Center, and his colleagues found that regular aerobic exercise training can […]

The mechanics of why exercise is good for brain health, memory
An international study presented further evidence that irisin protects neurons in the brain from degeneration. It showed that the so-called “exercise-induced hormone” can improve memory in humans and mice. First identified in 2012 by researchers from the Harvard Medical School, irisin is a messenger hormone that helps convert white fat into brown fat, which produces heat. It was named […]

Get moving, your brain needs it – study
Physical exercise is not just good for building up muscles and endurance. Studies show that working out also improves your brain in many ways. Many of the positive effects of exercise also extend to the brain. For example, physical activity speeds up the heart rate to deliver more oxygen throughout the body. The brain is one of […]

Exercise preserves brain cells and prevents memory loss
Exercise has been known to be essential for overall health. In a study carried out by researchers at the University of Jyvaskyla in Finland, the benefits of exercise on brain health have been emphasized. Researchers found that exercise can help preserve brain cells and prevent loss of memory, cognitive problems, and general problems in memory. For […]

Natural ways to boost BDNF levels, a protein that encourages the growth of new brain cells
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) encourages the growth of new brain cells while also helping to preserve existing cells. There are many natural ways to raise the levels of this important protein, an article in Be Brain Fit stated. First, avoid factors that lower BDNF levels. Some of these, such as brain-related mental conditions, stress, or age, are […]

Go for a brisk walk every day to protect your brain
Aerobic exercise, such as taking a brisk walk, each day can help protect the brain from cognitive decline, according to a recent study. In the U.S., approximately 50 million people are suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, the sixth leading cause of death in the country, or other forms of dementia. A team of researchers from the […]

New study finds older adults should pump more iron: Weight training has better results than cardio for weight loss in the over 60 crowd
Adults ages 60 years and older might want to try weight training in order to lose weight and preserve muscle mass in the process, researchers at the Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina suggest. The research team enrolled 249 overweight or obese adults in their 60s as part of the 18-month study. The participants were […]

Going for a run is just as beneficial to your brain as to your waistline, study finds
A recent study published in Scientific Reviews has revealed that running promotes brain health. The animal study, conducted by researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the U.K., concluded that running once a day may provide beneficial effects on cognitive health. The research team pooled data from two sets of mice models as part of the study. One […]
