Hundreds of millions of people in the world live with these or other impairments of memory and thinking.

In more than 10% of cases, they are caused by SCR - vascular cognitive disorders associated with insufficient blood supply to the brain.

American scientists have once again confirmed the effectiveness of such a simple and cheap means as physical activity.

The journal Neurology reports that regular exercise can reduce the risk or significantly delay the development of TFE in any of us.

Meanwhile, vascular cognitive impairment remains the leading cause of dementia after Alzheimer's disease. With the TFR, mental abilities, memory, speech gradually deteriorate.

Blood supply to the brain can decrease as a result of constriction or blockage of the cerebral arteries. It is well known that high cholesterol, hypertension, diabetes, obesity and smoking predispose to vascular cognitive impairment.

Recent research shows that the best way to preserve memory and thinking is a healthy lifestyle. Proper nutrition, weight control and movement.

But before, no one asked the question: what is better, to eat right or to move?.

In his article, Dr. Teresa Liu-Ambrose of the University of British Columbia states that only 1 hour of exercise a day reduces the risk of dementia in the elderly.

Moreover, physical activity in this regard is even more effective than diet!.

To this conclusion, Canadian scientists came after a 6-month observation of two groups of elderly (average age 74 years). Those of them who were constantly engaged in a special group showed the best indicators of memory and intelligence.

The absence of movement is our main enemy!.

To preserve memory and thinking to a very old age, simple steps are enough.

You just need not be lazy to make them.
