Exercise May Slow Alzheimer’s
Regular exercise may slow Alzheimer’s progression — gentle movement supports memory, mood, and mental clarity.
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.
