Ward Off Cognitive Decline
 

Look in the medicine cabinet of most people over the age of 50, and you see they have disease prevention on their minds. Even with all the pills and vitamins, many boomers skip the best mental and physical health treatment of all: a consistent workout program.


A 2009 study by the Center for Alzheimer Disease and Related Disorders and several other organizations found "overwhelming evidence" in the existing medical literature that "exercise ensures successful brain functioning."

Another study published in Annals of Neurology noted that among a group of 69 adults age 55-to-88, people who participated in regular physical activity for at least a decade had noticeably lower levels of cognitive decline.

But again, science in this
case only serves to back
up common sense.
Regular physical activity
is a clear way for aging
adults to retain their day-to-day functionality, avoid obesity, and maintain an enjoyable lifestyle into their golden years. No prescription drug can promise all that!
