Young adults who are in good physical shape performed better in cognitive tests 25 years later, a new study finds.
The study, published in the journal Neurology, also found that even if you didn’t get too much exercise in your youth, it’s never too late to start, as the benefits can still be seen later on.
One of the study’s authors, David R. Jacobs, said:
“Many studies show the benefits to the brain of good heart health.
“This is one more important study that should remind young adults of the brain health benefits of cardio fitness activities such as running, swimming, biking or cardio fitness classes.”
