Study Shows Excercise Helps

A study recently conducted on patients who were diagnosed with mild forms of Alzheimer displayed a significant difference in brain size–the catalyst was that exercise played a major role if the patients had lager brains than from those who had smaller brain.The prerequisite for the study included 121 participants that were 60 years of age and up went through a fitness test that utilized a treadmill and a brain scan that determined the three matters of the brain and free diet pills matter (gray matter, white matter) as well as the overall volume of their brains.  There were 57 participants that were diagnosed with early stage Alzheimer’s while all the rest did not have dementia.”People with early Alzheimer’s disease who were less physically fit had four times more brain shrinkage when compared to normal older adults than those who were more physically fit, suggesting less brain shrinkage related to the Alzheimer’s disease process in those with higher fitness levels,” said study author Jeffrey M. Burns, MD, of the University of Kansas School of Medicine in Kansas City and member of the American Academy of Neurology.
