Walking Your Way to Better Brain Health: A New Study Shows How Daily Exercise Can Reduce Dementia Risk Santiago, Chile – A recent study from Johns Hopkins University has revealed a powerful link between daily walking and a reduced risk of dementia. The research, which analyzed data from over 90,000 adults in the United Kingdom, found that even short walks can make a significant difference. "A recent investigation by Johns Hopkins University revealed that an activity as simple as walking could have a surprising impact on mental health." said Eduardo de la Iglesia, host of the Chilean radio program "Siempre Pasa Algo." The study showed a 69% reduction in dementia risk for those who walked 35 minutes a week (equivalent to 5 minutes a day). Those who walked more saw even greater benefits. This research provides further evidence of the positive impact of physical activity on cognitive health. This encouraging news underscores the importance of incorporating regular exercise into our daily lives, a simple step that can significantly contribute to long-term brain health and well-being.
