Today is the last day of World Alzeihmer's Month, so we are sharing another great article and study that highlights the benefits of regular physical activity to our brain health. This article outlines a study that looks at a hormone called 'Irsisin' that is released when we exercise, particularly during endurance and resistance training, that positively effects our brain health. 🧠

These benefits can help reduce cognitive decline and the risk of Azeihmer's in the older adults. 💪🥳

Australian researchers have identified irisin as a possible biological link between exercise and a healthier hippocampus in older adults.

Do you know the best ways to reduce your risk of heart disease? 🧐

- Eat a well balanced and heart healthy diet 🥗
- Be active and move your body daily 💪
- Be smoke free 🚭

Today is World Heart Day, a day to bring awareness to the risk of heart disease and how we can minimise our risk with lifestyle choices. Heart disease is something that 1 in 6 Australians report experiencing and is one of the most common health conditions in the country.

Regular physical activity is one lifestyle choice you can make to help lower your risk of heart disease. This could be an ASB class, walking group (There are many great Heart Foundation Walking Groups 😎), weight training in the gym, swimming etc. Variety of regular activity is the best! 🥳
