HealthDay (12/12, Thompson ) reports a study suggests that “seniors who want to stay sharp as they age should hit the treadmill, elliptical or exercise bike as often as possible.” The new research “shows that better cardio fitness in older age is linked to healthier brain aging.” That kind “of fitness preserves brain health as people age even if they carry genetic risk factors that make them vulnerable to Alzheimer’s disease, researchers reported.” The findings were published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.
