By Michael Dorgan, Fox News Digital CITY, State (Fox News) — A recent study published in the Journal of Health found that regular exercise can decrease the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease in older adults. The study followed a group of participants over the age of 65 for several years, tracking their exercise habits and cognitive health. Researchers found that those who engaged in physical activity at least three times a week were significantly less likely to develop Alzheimer’s compared to sedentary individuals.

Additionally, the study highlighted the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle overall, including a balanced diet and regular social interactions. The findings suggest that simple lifestyle changes, such as incorporating more physical activity into daily routines, can have a significant impact on cognitive health in older adults.

Experts are hopeful that these results will encourage more individuals to prioritize exercise and other healthy habits in order to reduce their risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. Further research is needed to fully understand the relationship between exercise and cognitive health, but these findings provide promising evidence for the benefits of staying active in older age.
