Find out how to stay healthier in your golden years.
The researchers behind the 2022 study posited that the brain benefits appear to be linked to higher synaptic protein levels resulting from exercise. They say that these healthier and more plentiful synaptic proteins—which connect neurons in the brain—likely contribute to brain resilience, even for those at higher demographic."Regardless of pathology presence, cognition cannot occur without integrity of the synaptic unit," the team explains.
The study concludes that those who wish to lower their risk of dementia may therefore benefit from a sustained exercise regimen in late-life."Our data are the first to demonstrate a link between a lifestyle behavior, PA, and markers of synaptic integrity in human brain tissue. We suggest PA may help build synaptic health, even at late ages," the team writes.
The Cleveland Clinic also notes that exercise also promotes neuroplasticity,"your brain's ability to form new neural connections and adapt throughout life." Importantly, exercise can help this process occur in the hippocampus, an area of the brain that is essential for memory.
