Scientific evidence shows that regular aerobic conditioning lowers a person’s risk for Alzheimer’s disease.

In fact, some research suggests that as little as 15 minutes of daily brisk walking can do the trick.

Getting into the habit of taking a daily brisk walk with a friend is a triple threat to the disease because as you walk:

• Your heart will pump oxygen, nutrients, and proteins that boost brain cell function

• Your brain cells will get exercise from the stimulating conversation

• You’ll reduce stress by talking about what’s bothering you, and lowering stress supports brain health
