Six Minutes of Daily High-Intensity Exercise Could Delay the Onset of Alzheimer’s Disease

Researchers report six minutes of high-intensity exercise on a regular basis can slow brain aging and delay the onset of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. High-intensity exercise increases the production of BDNF, a protein implicated in memory, learning, and brain plasticity, which could protect the brain from age-related cognitive decline.

New Study Challenges Previous Ideas Regarding Alzheimer’s Disease

The brains of older, cognitively healthy people have similar amounts of dissolvable, non-fibrilla amyloid proteins as the brains of those with Alzheimer's disease. Findings challenge the long-standing theory that having higher levels of amyloid proteins is an underlying cause of Alzheimer's disease.
