Exercise for Amazing Heart, Brain and Cancer Protection
Whoa…
Exercise For Heart Brain and Cancer Also Slows Memory Loss
Memory loss can also be reduced by exercise. In a study of patients diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, those who exercised had fewer neuropsychiatric symptoms
associated with the disease. Also when participating in a walking program it led to improvements in cardio respiratory health.
So, 60 to 80 of those who walked 30 to 45 minutes, three days per week, for one year increased in volume of their hippocampus by 2 percent. Consequently,
higher fitness levels were also associated with a larger prefrontal cortex.
Let’s talk further about exercise for amazing heart brain and cancer protection.
Breast Cancer Recurrence, Reduced by Exercise
Exercise is also important for both prevention and treatment of cancer.
In a study of lifestyle factors to help prevent breast cancer recurrence, exercise was on top.
Those who exercise reduced their risk of dying from breast cancer by 40 percent.
Even more, middle-age men who do cardio reduced their risk of lung, bowel and prostrate cance by one-third.
Why Wait?
If you have an exercise program now, good for you.
Or are you looking for some motivation to get started. How can you argue with the benefits you gain from exercise.
Concentrate on the rewards, such as being able to think better and improve your mood. You can avoid heart disease and cancer, and weight gain.

Great post. I found that for my aging parents, physical activity is a top priority for maintaining their quality of life. After retiring and moving to FL they took up pickleball. Apart from being low-impact, there is a great social aspect – they’ve got a whole new circle of friends now- and that is another critical part about aging, keeping socially active and engaged to ward off loneliness -which has lots of negative effects.
