Walking keeps your brain sharp
The New York Times has a post on a new study in Italy that determined that regular walkers had a 27% lower chance of developing dementia.
What’s important about the study is that it again shows exercise doesn’t have to be excruciating to reap the benefits. “It’s important to note that an easy-to-perform moderate activity like walking provided the same cognitive benefits as other, more demanding activities,” said study author Dr. Giovanni Ravaglia of University Hospital S. Orsola Malpighi, in Bologna, Italy.
