The best ways to preserve brain health

“Aerobic exercise is the most impactful way to protect your brain and stave off aging and Alzheimer's. Exercise builds up the hippocampus, which is critical for long-term memory and is also where the plaques and tangles of Alzheimer’s start. Exercise strengthens the hippocampus so it takes longer for those plaques and tangles to build up.”
-Wendy Suzuki, Ph.D., professor of neuroscience and psychology at the New York University Center for Neural Science”
