Age dementia symptoms can be
devastating...but they can be reversed with
the right activities.
Elderly dementia is a serious problem for
both the person suffering and their loved
ones. Often older adults have the mistaken
belief that it is too late to improve their
memory and reduce risk of dementia and
Alzheimers.
In a recent study 2,736 women wore an
actigraph to objectively measure how much
they moved during the day. None of the women
(average age 83 years) showed age dementia
symptoms.
The women in the group with the highest
amount of movement had better results on
cognitive
tests. The results were independent of
physical function, health conditions,
health-related behaviors or self-reported
walking.
The researchers concluded that “daytime
movement as measured objectively using
actigraphy was associated with better
cognitive function and lower odds of
cognitive impairment in women in their 80s.
It's never too late to improve your brain as
long as there is life. If you haven't got
around to getting more physical activity I
recommend that you take a look at Dr. Al
Sears PACE exercise program.
The concept of this program is to get your
heart rate up for about 15 to 20 seconds
until you are breathing somewhat hard and
then rest until it returns to normal.
Depending on your condition
this rest period will probably be about two
minutes. Repeat this process 3 or 4 times in
a ten minute period.
Surprisingly your body will quickly adapt to
the higher intensity and in a short time
your ability to breath will be much better.
The entire workout takes only 10 minutes, will energize your brain with extra blood and oxygen...and it also will supercharge your metabolism to help you lose weight.
