Exercise and its Impact on Neuro-Cognitive Diseases like Alzheimer's 🧠 🧠

In the pursuit of a healthy lifestyle, we often focus on the physical benefits of exercise. 🏋🏾🧘🏽‍♂️🏃🏼‍♀️

However, regular physical activity have a profound impact on our brain health, specifically in slowing down the progression of neuro-cognitive diseases like Alzheimer's.

Benefits of Exercise:

1. Enhances Brain Function: Engaging in regular exercise boosts blood flow to the brain, promoting the growth of new neurons and enhancing cognitive function.

2. Reduces the Risk of Alzheimer's: Studies have shown that individuals who incorporate exercise into their daily routines have a lower risk of developing Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia.

3. Improves Memory and Learning: Exercise stimulates the release of chemicals in the brain that enhance memory and improve learning ability, enabling us to retain information more effectively.

4. Elevates Mood and Reduces Stress: Physical activity releases endorphins, which are known as "feel-good" hormones. Regular exercise helps alleviate stress, anxiety, and depression, thereby positively impacting brain health.

Prioritize your brain health through regular exercise.

Today is Osteoathritis Awareness Day! Let us look at protecting your joints:

- FACT! Exercise does not wear out joints, but rather strengthens and protects them.
- Always warm-up and cool down when engaging in physical activity - Skipping your warm-up can put your joints at a higher risk of strain and overloading on your muscles and joints, putting them at risk for injury.
- Listen to your body’s cues - Joint pain after exercise is telling you there is something wrong (we suggest then to consult with a Biokineticist to prescribe an individualised program).
- Balancing low-impact exercises with your higher impact activities to strengthen the muscles that help protect your joints.
- Increase the flexibility of your joints by warming and stretching before and after exercise - When a joint is stiff, it can alter the stresses seen during activities and it’s more prone to swelling, which can weaken the muscles protecting the joint.
- Plan to quit smoking - Smoking and to***co use are risk factors for cardiovascular problems to cancer and can hamper your joints.
- Replace energy drinks and soda with water - Water makes up about 80 percent of your body’s cartilage (the flexible, connective tissue that cushions your joints).
- Don’t let extra weight overtax your joints
- Wear the right shoes - Regardless of the activity, shoes should provide cushioning, stability, and comfort while being flexible.
