Exercise to Fight Alzheimer (II)

exercise to fight alzheimerObviously, anyone who wants to belong to the group of people less likely to be “forgotten disease” should play sports constantly throughout its existence.

In fact, recently released a study about exercise and academic achievement. Dr. Charles Hillman, member of the Department of Neuroscience at the University of Illinois, USA, and colleagues recruited 259 students of third and fourth grade, who agreed to undergo an exercise program and then participate in an examination of reading and math to assess whether there was any connection between his physical prowess and intellectual capacity.

The results were conclusive, since infants with better physical condition had more talent to meet tests of mental ability. This has contributed to assume that exercise, in some cases, helps delay or prevent diseases such as Parkinson’s disease (loss of intellectual abilities with involuntary trembling or shaking) or Alzheimer’s disease.

It is worth emphasizing that for a long time it was believed that the brain was unable to develop new nerve cells, but the truth is that, as several studies have concluded that enough for someone to undergo an exercise regime for three months that the brain responds positively.

Other studies have shown that sport is an excellent strategy for older nerve cells to regenerate and interconnected with effectiveness, in addition to operating as a shield against mental illness in the elderly.
