Research is emerging to support what is good for your body is good for your brain! The American Academy of Neurology in 2018 reviewed the best practices for neurogenerative diseases and aging-related decline in cognitive functioning. While none of the medications they reviewed were found effective, one thing was highly recommended to protect against cognitive decline: exercise!¹

And there’s even more encouraging news worldwide: in 2014, a 2 yearlong study of healthy older adults with cognitive decline risk factors² found that movement, healthy eating, and cognitive engagement had a protective effect on decreasing risk. And currently, the U.S. POINTER study (ongoing in 6 sites in the US), is investigating brain-healthy lifestyle programs and improvements in brain health and prevention of cognitive impairment.³
