Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco discovered that older women who walked more experienced less age-related memory loss in a study of 6,000 women aged 65 and older. Compared to women who walked less than a half-mile per week, those who walked 2.5 miles per day saw a 17% drop in recall.
I guess since walking boosts blood circulation to the brain which is important for cognitive functioning.
Additionally walking has shown to reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. It is also proved that middle-aged and older people with early signs of memory loss raised their cognitive scores after they started walking frequently.
