Alzheimer's is a preventable disease of midlife that starts in your thirties but kills you in your seventies. You can actively rewire your brain and build a neurobiological shield against cognitive decline today.
Building cognitive reserve through complex mental tasks and rigorous physical exercise creates dense neural networks that preserve your mental faculties even if disease pathology develops.
Heavy resistance training that focuses on large leg muscles releases neuroprotective myokines that stimulate the growth of new brain cells in the hippocampus.
Pushing into high-intensity aerobic training for twenty minutes a week can physically remodel a stiff, aging heart to guarantee robust blood flow to the brain.
