Brisk Walking Can Help In Patients Suffering From Alzheimer's Disease; Pollution Doubles The Risk For Older Women?

A study indicates that frequent brisk walking can help aid Alzheimer's. It can also slow down memory loss for people who are suffering from the disease.

According to a report, one of the early studies for physical activities as an experimental treatment for dementia indicate that brisk walking can help people that are suffering from Alzheimer's disease. The results from the study are not yet universal and there still needs to be more experiments to show how exercise can be related to dementia.

However, there already were studies on older people about exercise linking to dementia. It has been found that exercise can improve a person's improved memories. Physically active people are likely to be more active cognitively than those living a sedentary life. It is reported that the patients treated with AC-1204 improved the performance on people with Alzheimer's. It is a drug distributed by Accera and has been proven that patients have a higher tolerance level on it.

Meanwhile, a report indicated that air pollution has a certain effect on dementia. It increases the risk for patients in getting the disease. Alzheimer's is a progressive disease that affects the patient mostly on the ability to remember. It gradually lets patients suffer from memory loss. Additionally, it is reported that with all of the cause of death, Alzheimer's is the only disease that currently cannot be prevented. It also cannot currently be cured neither can it be stalled.

Studies are done in order to understand better how the disease works so to bring in more cures. A recent study also concluded that air pollution can double the risk of dementia to older women. The air pollutants can be tiny particles released from power plants and automobiles. These tiny particles can seep through the lungs and into the brain.
