Prevention of Alzheimer's can choose to always walk
One need only walk three times a week regularly, it can effectively prevent the disease from occurring. Therefore, if readers want, when 80-year-old is still Ercongmuming on past memories, such as yesterday, so I ask every week to walk. One study reported that long walk in the park three times a week can increase cerebral blood flow, thereby reducing the order to memory impairment as the main performance of the incidence of diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (Alzheimer's).

The study results were published in this week's "Journal of the American Medical Association Index", it is said this is the first one on the prevention of family therapy for adults with mild cognitive impairment studies, mild cognitive impairment refers to the physiological range of brain atrophy cognitive decline and dementia caused between a state with mild forgetfulness, language can not, and some other have been noted, but not enough for medical treatment, was classified as certain types of diseases, cognitive problems as the main performance of .

Nicolas T Rouse Zagat University of Melbourne, Australia clinical Ph.D., professor, he was head of the study. He and his colleagues aim of this study is to find out the physical exercise can reduce dementia risk factors for those who are adults with the risk of eventual development of dementia. A total of 138 subjects who were over 50 years of age, these people think they have memory impairment, but have not reached the diagnostic criteria of dementia. The average age of participants was 69 years.

Organizers of the participants were randomly divided into two groups, of which one group received education about dementia, as well as some routine care, another group of family movement-based exercise training, a total of 24 weeks. The researchers encouraged participants in the exercise group fighting for a week moderate-intensity exercise at least 150 minutes and 150 minutes into this three times to complete, each 50 minutes. Walking is The experts recommended that the best way movement.

Walking and cerebral blood flow

Was assigned to the exercise group participants in the average time per week campaign is 142 minutes, some people three times a complete, some people are every day, every 20 minutes. "In the 6-month period, the exercise group compared with another group of people who walked 9,000 steps per week," the researchers wrote in the paper.

The result: participants in the exercise group received cognitive ability test scores, but also the ability to accept new things, significantly stronger than the other group. For example, let the participants read a paragraph of text before the 10 minutes after the recall can see the contents of the exercise group inspired by the performance of its organizers.

The researchers also noted that the exercise group in the "clinical dementia rating scale" in the score is much lower than in the other group, the higher the scale scores indicate more severe degree of dementia.

"And the drugs are different drugs on the course of the disease within 36 months of mild cognitive impairment is not effective, while the physical movement is a great benefit to health, which benefits not only to maintain a good performance in the cognitive function. According to Our research results, it can also help people to stay away from depression, falls, cardiovascular disease and disability for older people to lead a high quality of life, "the researchers said at a news conference.

Alzheimer's disease is currently no cure, its major damage to memory and cognitive abilities of older persons, and the disease appears early personality changes. According to U.S. statistics on Alzheimer's Disease Association, Alzheimer's disease is already the USA's sixth largest cause of death in adults, about 5 million people suffer from the disease. But with the aging of the population can be expected Eercihai disease patients will be greatly increased. The researchers said that, based on their findings, one needs only to walk three times a week regularly, it can effectively prevent the disease from occurring. Therefore, if readers want, when 80-year-old is still Ercongmuming on past memories, such as yesterday, so I ask every week to walk.
