Exercising three times a week, and eating well, could reverse mental decline by almost a decade, says a recent study.
A US study took 160 people with the average age of 65, but the mental age of 93, and added exercise and a diet of plenty of fruit and vegetables. Nearly ten years was shaved off the mental age at the end of the study.
Pensioners saw greatly improved thinking and planning skills after just six months of this regime.
Dr. James Blumenthal said:
"People with cognitive impairments without dementia may improve their ability to plan and complete cognitive tasks."
HMHB promotes a healthy lifestyle, with plenty of movement and flexibility, and improved nutrition, so this backs us up nicely. :-)
