🎾Exercise is vital for dementia patients because it improves cognitive function, enhances mood, and increases physical strength, helping to manage symptoms and maintain independence. Regular activity boosts blood flow to the brain, potentially slowing mental decline and reducing behavioral issues, while also reducing the risk of falls and improving sleep🎾
