Walking & Alzheimer's Risk

Walking even just 3,000 steps a day may lower the risk of Alzheimer's in older adults, according to new research. This benefit was also seen in older adults who already had high levels of amyloid-beta, a protein that may play a large role in the disease’s development. Researchers found that among older participants with higher levels of amyloid-beta, those who walked fewer than 3,000 steps a day showed quicker cognitive decline than those who walked 3,000 to 5,000 steps a day. Overall, the study discovered that participants who walked 3,000 to 5,000 steps per day slowed cognitive decline by an average of 3 years. Those who did 5,000 to 7,500 steps a day delayed cognitive decline by about 7 years.

Vitamin D3 May Slow Aging

Telomeres are the protective caps at the ends of our chromosomes. Telomeres get shorter with age, and their shortening is associated with age-related diseases. A recent study randomized participants, with half receiving 2,000 IU of vitamin D3 a day and the other half receiving a placebo. Results of the study found that telomere shortening in leukocytes (a type of white blood cell) was significantly less in the vitamin D3 group than in the placebo group. Researchers estimated that this effect might be equal to about a 3-year reduction in biological aging. More study is needed to see whether the benefit applies across all ethnicities.

Dancing Reduces Depression

A new study analysis suggests that one of the best forms of exercise for reducing the symptoms of depression is dancing. It was better than walking, jogging, tai chi, yoga and strength training. Researchers analyzed studies involving more than 14,000 people and found that moderate reductions in symptoms were made with all forms of exercise. However, dancing stood out as the best, with the largest reduction in depression symptoms of any treatment, including medications and cognitive behavioral therapy. Dancing combines physical activity, social interaction and cognitive challenges. It improves mood and reduces stress. Benefits appear with about 2-1/2 hours of dancing per week.
