Exercise can improve cognition in older adults

Life, Dr Eve Glazier & Dr Elizabeth Ko, Published on 29/07/2025

» Dear Doctors: I am 82 years old, and I have tested negative for Alzheimer's disease. But I do have some cognitive dysfunction. Can this be slowed? I exercise 30 minutes a day. In addition to that, I walk at least 1 mile. I also bicycle vigorously for two six-minute periods a day. Do you think this is helping?
