One of the most common habits among people who maintain their mental acuity into their 70s and beyond? Regular physical activity.
And it’s not just about staying physically fit. Physical activity has a direct impact on brain health too.
Exercise increases blood flow to the brain, which helps to support cognitive functions. It also releases chemicals that boost your mood and make you feel more relaxed.
From walking to yoga, swimming to gardening – the type of activity doesn’t really matter. The key is consistency. Just a thought.
