"When you get your heart to pump more blood (through exercise), it sends more oxygen and nutrients to the brain." Dr. Gary Small
Dr. Small, author of The Alzheimer's Prevention Program, says that exercise not only protects our memory, it helps prevent diabetes which is a risk factor for Alzheimer's. He say that we can do a lot to prevent getting Alzheimer's ourselves, and one of the most effective ways is to exercise. Exercise, learning to manage stress, good nutrition, social connectedness and fun. No matter how busy we are; it is imperative we fit those qualities into our lives. Every day.
