A couple of new studies show exercise might play an effective role in preventing and improving mild cognitive impairment. Mild cognitive impairment precedes age related dementia. The findings indicate moderate exercise like swimming or brisk walking during midlife or even afterward might substantially deter the onset of this debilitating impairment. The way it does this is by facilitating the production of nerve-protecting compounds, increasing blood flow to the brain, and improving overall cardiac health. Additionally, high-intensity aerobic exercise for 45 to 60 minutes a day does appear to significantly benefit cognitive functioning. Sounds convincing enough to stash some time away for sweating it out at the nearby gym - doesn't it?
