According to researchers, older adults who exercised for most of their lives showed signs of slowed down aging. The study reports those who actively cycled into older age had lower cholesterol levels and better immune systems than those who did not partake in regular exercise.
While much research has shown that exercise can be good for our brains, the link between how physical activity benefits the brain is not clearly understood. In a new study, researchers suggest the link between brain health and exercise could be a product of our evolutionary history and our hunter-gatherer past.

A new paper explores different findings about the development of Alzheimer's and considers how personalized treatments may help combat this complex disease.
A new study helps further understanding about how aging slows the production of new immune cells and decreases the immune systems response to vaccines in the elderly.
Researchers report on the other, often overlooked, symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.
A new study challenges the Myonuclear Domain Hypothesis of muscle memory. Researchers report nuclei gained during training persist even when muscle cells start to shrink as a result of disuse.
