Exercise, Health and Fitness: The Way To Beat Alzheimer's

Imagine that you have a full tank of vital water ... the only source of drinking water for miles. The deposit is in abundance and was created for it can last a lifetime. This should provide comfort, right?

But what if there is a leak in the tank? Drip pint per liter, gallon per gallon of water - the source of precious life - was filtering overflow and escape out of reach. What, if anything, can you do about it?

The natural reaction would be correct. Some of us even took care to ensure that this essential resource has been protected by a robust package.

Well, this description is similar to the brain. Suppose your brain leaking. Slowly, memories, experiences and skills base drip flow out of our minds and our bodies, leaving us helpless and lost.

This are what people with the face of Alzheimer's disease - the thinking that life is not just about them but they tore. But how will they manage?

There were promises of drugs and other treatments on the horizon not so close, but it seems there is little we can do to heal those who suffer from this disease. There is a glimmer of hope that the experts say it is still the best way to control the symptoms and the development of Alzheimer's disease: exercise. Have a plan of health and fitness that exercises has the great benefits, the least of which is the fight Alzheimer's disease.

In 2008, the Mayo Clinic published a report on a study conducted by researchers at the University of Chicago, who said that by a study in mice bred to develop the substance is known to cause the disease of Alzheimer, mice physical activity not only had less amyloid plaque also created many more enzymes that prevent Alzheimer's disease. In his simple explanations of many people with amyloid deposits in the brain tends to have more memory loss than those who have less.

Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis went further to study the APOE gene - a gene involved in cholesterol metabolism gene. Although everyone has the gene, those with a particular variation of the APOE e4 gene known are 15 times more likely to develop Alzheimer's disease than those who did not carry the variant. Of the 201 people in the study, most of those who carry the APOE e4 gene have increased accumulation of amyloid plaques than those without the variation. And what was very important was that you did not put the health and fitness a priority, ie inactive subjects seemed to have an induction of amyloid plaque in Alzheimer's disease accumulation.

This is in stark contrast to those who have the gene and less walk or run for 30 minutes five times a week. These volunteers had an accumulation comparable to those that do not carry the APOE gene variation plate.
