Most of us have resolved to do something during the new year to improve our health.

Now comes another good reason to start walking MORE often!

A recent medical study showed that walking may slow cognitive decline and preserve more brain volume in older adults, particularly those with Alzheimer’s desease.

Just 5 miles a week made a significant difference.  It appears that walking strengthens the brain structure and reduces memory loss.

Make walking one of your daily priorities and have a healthy new year.
