Excerics

Exercise, along with a Mediterranean-style diet full of fruits and veggies, could help stave off cognitive decline, according to new research published today in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Researchers tracked the exercise and eating habits of 1,880 adults between 1992 and 2006, noting how strictly participants stuck to a Mediterranean diet

and exercise routine. People who closely followed the diet reduced their risk of developing Alzheimer's disease by 40 percent, and those who exercised most reduced their risk by 33 percent, compared to adults who didn't follow the diet or who did not exercise, the Wall Street Journal reports. In a study released earlier this year, the same team found the Mediterranean diet alone lowered the risk of Alzheimer's.
