"Light Exercise: Unlocking Surprising Brain Benefits for Seniors"

Mild exercise, such as walking or yoga, has been found to significantly improve cognitive function in older adults, particularly by enhancing the efficiency of the prefrontal cortex. This discovery opens the door for accessible exercise programs for seniors with low fitness motivation. The study showed that even short bouts of light exercise over three months can invigorate the brain and result in short-term boosts in cognitive capabilities. The findings highlight the positive impact of stress-free mild exercise in strengthening the prefrontal cortex and enhancing cognitive function among older adults.
