Regular exercise keeps your brain young

Regular exercise helps to keep you fit and agile. It is benefits your cardiovascular system and helps to prevent stroke and heart attacks.

There is new evidence that regular physical exercise offers more than physical fitness. Exercise actually helps to fight mental ageing. Physical exercise can be very effective in improving thinking and memory impairments in the elderly.

People with mental impairments such as memory lapses and forgetfulness have a higher chance to develop dementia. Researchers found that this group of people who are suffering from mental impairments (also referred to as cognitive impairments) can benefit from physical activities such as swimming, brisk walking and cycling.

In fact this group of people becomes mentally more agile with improved memory and ability to multitask after a period of regular physical exercise.

Now you have more reason to exercise. Start moving and stay active. Physical exercises will keep your brain younger and makes you more agile mentally.
