Age-Related Memory And Senior Balance Exercises

Senior Balance Exercises For Older Individuals

By Suzanne Stoke, Physical Therapist @ Exercise For Balance via www.exerciseforbalance.com

 As we all age, concern is due for maintaining tip-top brain function through proper diet, mental stimulation and physical activity based on developing sufficient stability by practicing specific senior balance exercises. Please see   http://www.exerciseforbalance.com/buy-now As Baby Boomers head into their later years, there is growing concern about cognitive problems such as Dementia and Alzheimer's that lead many older individuals to assume that their memories will diminish during their twilight years. According to healthcare statistics, roughly five million Americans have Alzheimer's, a figure that will mostly likely increase as the population advances in age. On the other hand, medical scientists note that only one percent of people in their sixties and two percent in their seventies develop Alzheimer's. Some medical researchers suggest that the leading causes of age related memory problems are due to stress, anxiety, depression, diet, and inactivity. Thankfully, those prominent causes are factors which are treatable. To be specific, at Swenden's Karolinska Institute, medical researchers have shown that, increasing volume and blood flow in the area of the brain called the Hippocampus can result in improved brain function. The Hippocampus is a brain structure located deep in the temporal lobe and is important for memory and learning. Research shows that aerobic exercise can increase blood flow to the Hippocampus. The first step in initiating an aerobic exercise program is to establish necessary stability through performing senior balance exercises.
