"5-Minute Daily Walk: A Key Strategy to Slash Dementia Risk"

Professor Claire Steves from King’s College London recommends increasing exercise to improve cognitive health and prevent dementia, suggesting that adding a third more exercise than current levels can be beneficial. She specifically advises walking for 45 minutes at least three times a week as a simple yet effective way to start. Walking not only helps prevent dementia but also offers a wide range of health benefits, including maintaining a healthy weight, improving heart and cardiovascular fitness, reducing stress and anxiety, and enhancing mood and memory.
