STORY AT-A-GLANCE
Alzheimer's disease is a severe form of cognitive decline, affecting around 47 million people globally with projections to reach over 131 million by 2050; it disrupts neuronal communication and causes progressive brain cell deterioration
A Penn State College of Medicine study demonstrated that daily physical activity, regardless of intensity, improves cognitive processing speed by approximately 60 milliseconds, effectively reducing cognitive age by about four years
Aerobic exercises boost brain health by increasing brain-derived neurotrophic factor, enhancing spatial learning, memory, and visual pattern separation, stimulating neurogenesis in the hippocampus and improving synaptic plasticity
Resistance training provides superior cognitive benefits for older adults, requiring lower exercise intensities to achieve significant improvements in cognitive performance
Incorporating consistent physical activity into your daily routine while supporting mitochondrial health by minimizing your exposure to toxins will help reduce your risk of cognitive decline and promote long-term brain health
