Benefits of Exercise and Movement for People with Alzheimer's or Demen

Alzheimer's and Dementia are progressive diseases that affect memory, thinking, and behavior. Although there is currently no cure for these diseases, research has shown that exercise and movement can help to improve cognitive function, mood, and quality of life for people living with these conditions.

Regular physical activity has been shown to reduce the risk of developing Dementia related conditions by up to 35%. It can also help to slow down the progression of the disease. Exercise has been shown to improve memory, attention, and problem-solving skills. It can also help to reduce anxiety and depression.

There are many different types of exercise that are beneficial for people with Dementia. Walking, swimming, dancing, and yoga are all good options. It is important to find an activity that you enjoy and that is safe for you to do.

Exercise can help to improve brain function in a number of ways. It can increase blood flow to the brain, which helps to deliver oxygen and nutrients. It can also help to stimulate the growth of new brain cells. Exercise can also help to reduce inflammation in the brain, which has been linked to Alzheimer's and Dementia.

In addition to the cognitive benefits, exercise can also help to improve physical function. It can help to strengthen muscles and bones, improve balance and coordination, and reduce the risk of falls. Exercise can also help to improve sleep quality.

It is important to talk to your doctor before starting an exercise program. They can help you to choose an activity that is safe for you and to set realistic goals. It is also important to start slowly and to gradually increase the intensity and duration of your workouts.
