"Short Bursts of Exercise and Daily Steps: The Secret to Boosting Brain Size and Preventing Alzheimer's"
A new study published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease suggests that engaging in moderate to vigorous physical activity, such as walking, running, or team sports, for at least 10 minutes three times a week can lead to increased brain volume. This effect is particularly noted in areas of the brain responsible for memory and sensory processing. The research, involving MRI scans of over 10,000 individuals, indicates that even less than the often recommended 10,000 steps a day, specifically around 4,000 steps, can have a positive impact on brain health. These findings highlight the potential of regular exercise in dementia prevention and maintaining brain size as we age.
