Walking and Alzheimers

Nothing feels better to me than taking a nice walk especially after a stressful day, so it is no wonder that the article about exercise/walking caught my attention.  According the National Institutes of Health, just regular walking can reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease.  Research also supports that even those already diagnosed with this dreadful brain disease that causes the loss of memory, show slower decline of the disease with regular exercise, especially walking.  It is because exercise increases blood flow to areas in the body and brain.  The best part about this type of exercise is that most people can do it, and it doesn't cost anything.
