Moderate exercise improves blood circulation in older women. Three-month follow-up of women aged 60 years and older showed that fast walking for 30-50 minutes three or four times a week increases blood flow to the brain by 15%, according to the Internet publication for girls and women from 14 to 35 Years old Pannochka. Net The doctors evaluated the blood flow in the internal carotid artery located in the neck region and which feeds the brain with the necessary glucose and oxygen. Due to regular physical activity in women, blood circulation in the brain increased by an average of 15% and 11% in the left and right internal carotid arteries, blood pressure fell by an average of 4%, and the heart rate decreased by about 5%.

Experts at the Texas Institute of Health explain that exercises improve brain function in the elderly due to blood flow. First, blood brings oxygen, glucose and other nutrients that are vital to brain health. Secondly, the blood clears the brain of metabolic "waste", such as the beta-amyloid protein in the vessels of the brain. This protein is involved in the development of Alzheimer's disease.
