NIA Blenheim

Not all movement is created equal.

We usually hear that physical activity is good for brain health. So a new study published in 'The Lancet Public Health' caught our attention because it found something unexpected:

People who got more leisure-time physical activity (activities such as walking, cycling, running, swimming and sports) had a 24% lower risk of dementia, while physical activity performed as part of a job was associated with a higher risk.

That may sound surprising, but it’s important to look at the bigger picture.

Physically demanding jobs can involve repetitive movements, long periods of standing, heavy lifting, stress, limited recovery time, and hazardous workplace exposures. Exercise we choose for ourselves (like Ageless Grace) tends to be more varied and may be social, enjoyable, and mentally engaging.

Movement doesn't have to be strenuous to be meaningful. When we combine movement with cognitive challenges such as changing patterns, crossing the midline, coordinating different parts of the body, and remembering sequences, we give our brains something to do, too.

Move your body. Challenge your brain. Keep it fun! Come and join NIA!
