Physical activity keeps your brain healthy, and it staves off two of the major risk
factors for Alzheimer's disease -- high blood pressure and diabetes.
Exercise 30 minutes at least three times a week to keep the blood flowing and encourage new brain cells. It doesn't have to be strenuous activity.
Aerobics are
the best: Aerobic means with air or oxygen. Aerobic
activities include: (brisk) walking, biking, jogging, swimming,
aerobic classes and cross-country skiing. Think of aerobic activity
as being long in duration yet low in intensity.
Other good activities for the brain: Ping-pong,
dancing, gardening.
