Exercise May Slow Alzheimer’s

While there’s no cure for Alzheimer’s, regular exercise has been shown to slow its progression and improve quality of life.

How exercise supports brain health:

• Enhances memory, attention, and decision-making
• Reduces inflammation and oxidative stress in the brain
• Supports neuroplasticity — the brain’s ability to adapt and form new connections
• Boosts mood, sleep, and confidence
• Improves cardiovascular health, which directly benefits brain function

Gentle activities like walking, swimming, or cycling for 30 minutes a day can make a difference. Always tailor the routine to the individual’s needs and abilities, and consult a healthcare professional where necessary.
