effects for the body."
THE FIRST STUDY LOOKED AT WALKING AND THE RISK OF DEMENTIA IN MEN.
MEN WHO WALKED OVER 2 MILES A DAY HAD HALF THE RISK OF DEVELOPING THE
DISEASE COMPARED TO THOSE WHO HARDLY WALKED.
A SIMILAR STUDY WAS DONE ON WOMEN AND MENTAL FUNCTION.
THOSE WHO WALKED AT LEAST AN HOUR AND A HALF A WEEK SCORED HIGHER ON
COGNITIVE MEMORY TESTS THAN WOMEN WHO ONLY WALKED 45 MINUTES A WEEK.
WHY?... IT'S BELIEVED EXERCISE HELPS THE BODY WHICH IN TURN HELPS THE
