Turns out speed walking might be doing more than getting you there quicker 🧠⁠
⁠
A study involving nearly 4,000 older adults, with an average age of around 84, found that the fastest walkers dubbed ‘super movers’ were about 50% less likely to develop cognitive impairment during follow up periods of between 3.4 and 5.4 years.⁠
⁠
They were also 60% less likely to report being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia, while brain scans suggested they tended to have larger hippocampus', a region heavily involved in memory.⁠
⁠
However, researchers stressed the findings show an association rather than proving that walking faster directly protects the brain. Staying physically active is already widely associated with healthier ageing.⁠
⁠
Might be time to put some pace into that walk 👀⁠
