Dementia is one of the most insidious diseases. In lunchtime conversations for more than three decades, I’ve seen nurses and therapists agree that it’s the disease we'd most like to avoid. Where other diseases tend to impose health and functional deficits on otherwise healthy people, dementia can actually change who you are.
Although the exact causes of dementia aren’t fully understood, there is robust evidence that regular exercise has the potential to prevent Alzheimer’s disease and cognitive decline.
