Doctor says five minute exercise every day slashes dementia risk

The article from MSN discusses a study presented at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference in Amsterdam, which suggests that engaging in just five minutes of daily exercise can significantly reduce the risk of dementia. Dr. Edward Liu, a neurologist, highlighted that even short bursts of physical activity, like a brisk walk or a few minutes of vigorous housework, can have profound benefits on brain health. The study found that individuals who incorporated this minimal amount of exercise into their daily routine had a lower incidence of dementia compared to those who were sedentary. The benefits are thought to come from improved blood flow to the brain, reduced inflammation, and the release of growth factors that support neuron health. Dr. Liu emphasized the accessibility of this approach, making it an easy recommendation for people of all ages to help stave off cognitive decline.
