New Study Confirms Exercise Good For Keeping Brain Sharp...
Dear Reader,
Yet more evidence that we can do something to help our brains stay healthy as the years pass. Not one, but two brand new reports suggest that older adults who stay physically active are cutting the odds they'll lose their mental abilities as they get older.
Both works appear online in the Archives of Internal Medicine and coincide with presentations at the International Conference on Alzheimer's disease held in Paris this year.
While earlier research used self-reported information on activity levels, the first study, led by Laura E. Middleton of Toronto's Heart and Stroke Foundation Center relied instead on a far more objective measure of activity. The subjects in this research were 197 adults, average age 74 who were free of cognitive difficulties and were taking part in the larger, ongoing Health, Aging and Body Composition study.
To measure how active the participants were, the team kept track of the total amount of energy the subjects used by a method known as "double labeled water". This shows just how much water you lose and is a widely accepted measure of metabolic activity.
Using this objective measurement, the team saw that those who were most active had an amazing 90% lower risk of having symptoms of significant mental decline compared to those who were the least active.
The method the researchers used was able to capture all kinds of activity, and suggests that low intensity movement may be more important than anyone had thought.
Simple things like moving around the house, walking out to get the mail or doing routine housework may in fact go a long way toward keeping the aging brain healthy.
The results were confirmed by having the participants complete the Modified Mini-Mental State Examination at the start and end of the study period.
In the second of the studies presented, a team led by Marie-Noel Vercambre of the Foundation of Public Health in Paris examined the impact of physical activity on women who were taking part in the Women's Antioxidant Cardiovascular Study. Some subjects had vascular disease, or at least three risk factors for dangerous heart disease.
The team determined the amount of physical activity for the 2,809 female subjects when the study began and in two-year increments thereafter. They also did phone interviews with the participants that included testing memory and mental abilities - at the start of the study and then three (or more) times over the 5.4-year follow up period.
Here too, the French researchers saw that the women who were the most active had the lowest rate of cognitive decline. Those who took a brisk, half hour walk daily (or its equal) had the lowest risk of losing mental abilities.

New Study Confirms Exercise Good For Keeping Brain Sharp... Continued...
In an editorial that was published along with the studies, Dr. Eric B. Larson
of the Group Health Research Institute believes the link between being active
and staying mentally sharp is likely related to overall good vascular health.
It may be that as we get older our brains just can't handle stress as well, but
being active helps improve our vascular health and our brain health as part of
the bargain.
The take home message - there is growing evidence of an association between being
active and your mental abilities as you get older. Doctors need to go beyond
urging their older patients to be active; pointing out the dangers to mind and
body of being sedentary and encouraging routine, low intensity movement as well
as more robust activity.
The good news is that even if you start later in life, you can still get the
benefits to the brain according to Larson. Even those who have lost some mental
capacity can benefit from getting out and walking, with a caregiver, a few times
a week.
So now there's even more of an incentive for you to get up, and get moving!
To your good health,
Kirsten Whittaker
