Hello,
If you are like those of us at the Fisher Center, you too are getting ready for summer and the positive vibes from the sun’s rays. Some parts of the country have already warmed up and for those of us who are still experiencing snow, we are hoping to see the grass any day now. In the meantime, we want to start shedding some of the extra mental and physical baggage by thinking positively and exercising. We hope these two articles below will help motivate you.
Our first article outlines how a new study shows that having positive feelings about growing old may help to ward off Alzheimer’s disease. This study showed that even those with high-risk factors for developing Alzheimer’s were less likely to develop the disease if they had positive beliefs about old age.
In our second article, a study conducted by physicians at the American Academy of Neurology found that exercising just twice a week may improve thinking and memory skills in people with mild cognitive impairment. So not only will you get your body in shape you can also get your brain in shape too!
To learn more about the above-mentioned studies, please read these expert-reviewed articles and for more information about Alzheimer’s; please visit our website at www.alzinfo.org.
Thank you for your interest in learning more about the research progress being made at the Fisher Center.
Together we can end Alzheimer’s disease!
Sincerely,
Kent Karosen
President & CEO
