Single Trick Cuts Cancer and Alzheimer's Risk
It’s easy to get intimidated by the idea of “exercising.”
Maybe you don’t like the thought of joining a gym… you can’t imagine you could keep up with an exercise class… or don’t believe you’re strong enough to lift weights.
But that’s the great thing about exercise. You don’t have to do ANY of those things to get ALL of its benefits!
In fact, there’s one type of exercise that’s so simple it doesn’t even feel like you’re working out at all. And yet it could help you SLASH your risk for two of the most devastating diseases of our time…
A growing stack of research reveals WALKING could help you dial down your risk for Alzheimer’s and cancer. Let’s take a closer look…
Study after study has found that folks who regularly walk have a lower risk of Alzheimer’s and dementia. But now we understand more about why walking is so good for your brain.
For one study, a group of adults ages 71 to 85 walked on a treadmill four days a week for 12 weeks.
After putting the participants through a battery of tests, the researchers found the walker’s brain activity had become STRONGER and more SYNCHRONIZED.
This shows that exercise enhances your brain’s ability to change and adapt.
Experts say this also means walking could potentially reduce the risk of mild cognitive impairment (MCI)—or even delay the conversion to dementia in people who already have MCI.
Another recent study presented at the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology revealed that walking can cut the risk of dying from cancer by nearly 20 percent.
This study followed cancer patients for 180 days and compared sedentary people to active ones. After 180 days, 74 percent of the sedentary folks were still alive compared to 90 percent of the active ones.
And here’s the crazy part…
Being “active” was defined as just taking one 30-minute walk five days per week. In other words, no gym, exercise classes, or weights required.
If you need a little motivation to get moving, slashing your risk of these major killers should do it. Especially when it takes so little effort!
