| 3 | The article discusses a study that found a correlation between taking more steps each day and a reduced risk of developing dementia. The study tracked the physical activity of over 2,000 adults, with an average age of 61, for three years. Those who took at least 3,800 steps a day had a lower risk of developing dementia compared to those who took fewer steps. The study also found that taking more steps was associated with a larger hippocampus, the part of the brain responsible for memory and spatial navigation. The article suggests that walking can be an easy and accessible way to promote brain health and reduce the risk of dementia. |
