Carolina: A new study has found that vigorous exercise at least once a week can reduce the risk of dementia in people with high blood pressure.
According to American media, in a study published in the ‘Journal of the Alzheimer’s Association’, experts studied 9,300 people in which they found that people who participated in vigorous physical activity every week had a lower risk of high blood pressure. However, the rate of mental retardation and dementia was low.

“In the clinical trial, we found that physical exercise provides many benefits beyond fitness, including lowering blood pressure,” said lead researcher Dr. Richard Causeway, MD, assistant professor of internal medicine at Wake Forest University School of Medicine in Carolina. , including improving overall health and delaying deterioration of heart health and cognitive abilities.
He added that this new study calls people to the important point of how much exercise is needed to achieve all of the aforementioned benefits.
