Taking more than 5,000 steps each day could significantly slow cognitive decline and the build-up of proteins associated with Alzheimer’s dementia, according to new research.
Scientists at Harvard University analysed data from 294 individuals aged between 50 and 90. These participants, all part of the Harvard Aging Brain Study, had amyloid and tau proteins – strongly linked to Alzheimer’s – present in their brains, yet displayed no symptoms of dementia.
