Women with strong legs are less affected by the aging processes in the brains than women with lesser strong legs.
This interesting conclusion comes from the King's College team after a study of ten years. During that time this team tracked the health of 150 female twins in the age of 43 to 73 years. That's how they discovered that generally the aging process had less impact on the brain of the twin sister with the strongest legs, whereby her memory and other mental processes functioned better.
The researchers found a logical explanation for this phenomenon. You will develop strong muscles by sufficient physical activity. The sister with the strongest legs, is more physically active than her twin. Sufficient exercise is an important condition to keep your brains healthy. An active lifestyle doesn't only keep your body in shape, but also your brains.
The researchers indicate that more study is needed, but again it's proven that adequate exercise helps against the (further) development of dementia.
