Episode 165: The Effect of Vigorous Exercise on Cognitive Impairment
In this episode, Dr. Armstrong and Corbin Bruton revisit the topic of dementia prevention, focusing on the 12 modifiable risk factors identified by the Lancet Commission. They discuss the crucial role of vigorous exercise in reducing the risk of cognitive decline and dementia, citing recent research that highlights the benefits of at least one vigorous physical activity session per week for hypertensive adults. The hosts explore each risk factor, including the importance of education, managing hearing loss, maintaining healthy blood pressure and weight, treating depression, staying socially active, and preventing head injuries. They emphasize the interconnectedness of these factors and provide practical tips for incorporating them into daily life to promote overall brain health and successful aging. In this episode, the listener will learn more about how to take proactive steps to protect your cognitive health and… age well.
