          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.
