Dear John,

Did you know that physical exercise can reduce your risk of developing Alzheimer's disease by fifty percent? That in itself is amazing. Staying active also lowers your risk of heart disease and a wide variety of other illnesses.

In addition, research suggests that physical inactivity is a greater risk factor for cognitive disorders in women. One study tracked women for 44 years and discovered that the least active participants were the most likely to develop dementia later in life.

Moreover, brain scans have found fewer biomarkers of Alzheimer’s in active individuals compared to those who move less.

So let's get moving! Please join us for our next week-long event:
