From Alzheimer’s to Parkinson’s, the human studies show that the simplest movement we have may be one of the most protective things we can do for the aging brain
Hello Sayer, thank you for sharing such interesting information. Walking undoubtedly offers enormous benefits, which become especially evident as we age.
I think this is also where one of the keys lies: the lowest risk occurred at a peak pace of roughly 112 steps per minute, the pace of walking when you have a destination. We could replace "destination" with "project": older people still have projects, even if on a smaller scale, such as attending a grandchild's wedding or going to the shop to buy thread to mend a garment. Keeping that motivation alive, which is usually tied to a stimulating social environment, is essential.
Walking is one of the most under-rated exercises there is. And all you need is a pair of good shoes!
