Yet another medical study confirms that walking is particularly good for adults over the age of 55. This is the age when the hippocampus (the part of the brain related to memory) typically starts to atrophy. Simply walking on a regular basis reverses this trend and helps prevent memory loss. The study indicates that walking 40 minutes three times a week is sufficient to stop this decline.
So, get up and out as often as you can. No need to do anything strenuous. Just take a walk and enjoy your neighborhood, local park, or trail.
Next thing you know, you’ll be dreaming of walking around the Monterey Bay.
