It’s Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month! Did you know cognitive function typically decreases as people age? We can offset this by strengthening existing nerve networks or forming new ones. This is known as cognitive reserve, which involves adopting brain-healthy habits to enhance brain function.

If you’re looking to boost your brain, start exercising! Studies show that 30-60 minutes of aerobic (cardio) exercise, 3-4 times per week, can lower your risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. Aerobic exercise increases your heart rate and enhances blood flow to the brain.
