Hack your walk with Nordic Walking Guy’s 3 rules:
- Walk with purpose!
- Be consistent!
- Remember everything count’s but not everything matters!
Nordic Walking Guy says, “Walk with purpose!” Preventing cognitive decline is one such purpose. An article described a study about the effect of fitness on holding off Alzheimer’s.
Main point: “A brisk walk each day could slash your risk of developing dementia by a third.”
More about it:
- “Keeping fit into middle age might be the key to staving off Alzheimer’s.”
- “…as people’s fitness improved, their risk of Alzheimer’s disease decreased – it was not an all-or-nothing proposition.”
- “For people who are middle-aged and older, the highest level of fitness can be achieved by walking briskly most days of the week, for two-and-a-half hours or more per week.”
Why it matters: “We hope to develop a simple scale that can be individualized so people can see the benefits that even incremental improvements in fitness can deliver.”
