However, exercise is beneficial for more than just being able to wear our jeans again after holiday food consumption.

Studies show that moderate exercise such as walking may be associated with a lower risk of vascular dementia in people in their sixties.

However, the effect doesn’t necessarily extend to reducing the risk of Alzheimer’s Disease, a different disease mechanism than vascular dementia.

It’s important to note that the research doesn’t mean that people get dementia because they lead unhealthy lifestyles, but, that physical activity can possibly provide some benefits and delay the onset of symptoms.
