Exercise and your brain


As we get older our ability to run fast, swim long distances or play our favorite sports begins to decline. We accept this as getting older and not an indication of physical problems.

Yet we become alarmed when forgetfulness and memory loss creep into our everyday lives as we pass 50 years of age. The fear that dementia may be on the horizon creates a lot of anxiety for us. All of this in my opinion is unwarranted. If your body slows down as you age why wouldn't your brain do the same.

We all know that if we exercise daily and eat properly our health will not deteriorate nearly as fast. That's all we need to do.

Keep it Simple, Consistent and Fun.
