My great grandmother lived to be 101, and lived by herself til she died. She always said it was the dancing that kept her young.

Exercise gets another point in brain health (amongst other benefits)! 🧠 🙌

[@AnnTsungMD]

Absolutely! Exercise can help improve cognitive function, boost mood, reduce stress, and even protect against age-related decline in brain function. That's just one more reason to make physical activity a regular part of our daily routine.

[@yumifl.5133]

I can see where exercise matters due to the fact that exercise works for depression, pain, skin cancer, obesity, the list goes on.. Yes genetics do play a part of Alziemers though, you can't prevent that, but , exercise though can reduce other risks as wel that leads to alzeihmers. In my opinion.

[@orbifold4387]

Which came first, the brain or exercise?

[@marydotjpeg]

:( my father had all three diseases and sadly passed from it. (Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and dementia) I have several chronic illnesses ME/CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome) being one of them I'm exercise intolerant like it would make me worse. But I try to do simple yoga etc to get moving do you think I have a shot at avoiding the same with genetics playing a role in me getting those? (I'm also autistic and have ADHD) 😭 or does any kind of movement will help? I haven't looked into it but I'm thinking of doing genetic testing to see what my odds are 😢
