Walking for Mental Health


2004 study found that compared to those walking more than two miles daily, those that walked less than a mile a day had a 71% increased risk of developing dementia, and those that walked a quarter mile or less had an increased risk of 77%. What we can take from this is that walking is a very important factor in brain health, and the more, the better.  

Come on, you can do it!  

By the way, this even helps improve scores on people who already have dementia.
