Walking for Better Memory

Aerobic exercise works on 2 levels. It is good for your body & great for your mind,
according to the latest research from brain-fitness pioneer, Arthur Kramer. Consider
this: the hippocampus, a region in your brain that is key to your memory, shrinks 1-2%
every year as we age increasing the risk of dementia. However, Kramer's investigation
reveals that the hippocampi of adults grew by 2% over a year simply by walking briskly
45 minutes a day 3 times a week. Thus, staving off age-related shrinking, it is never too
late to start exercising. It doesn't need to be strenuous. Just anything that raises your
heart rate seems to work. Walking is fine or anything you like to do.
I not only like to exercise, but I like to take Remind® from Omnitrition®. This nutritional supplement aides in focus & memory. Omnitrition's Remind is brain food!
