Scientists from Rush University in Chicago tested 535 people in their seventies and eighties and concluded that some exercise can help prevent Alzheimer's disease by triggering changes in the brain.
People with a high level of a protein called brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) are at less risk of the incurable illness.
One of the best ways to boost it is by physical activities such as jogging and running. Brain function declined 50% slower in patients with the highest levels of BDNF, compared to those with the least.
