Aerobic exercises may helpmore-lifestyleUpdated: May 30, 2020 16:50 ISTIn a good news for the elderly people, researchers have found that aerobic exercise boosts blood flow to two key regions of the brain associated with memory. The study, published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, showed that this blood flow can help even older people with memory issues improve cognition. The study documented changes in long-term memory and cerebral blood flow in 30 participants, each of them 60 or older with memory problems. Half of them underwent 12 months of aerobic exercise training; the rest did only stretching. “We’ve shown that even when your memory starts to fade, you can still do something about it by adding aerobic exercise to your lifestyle,” Thomas said.
