Getting fit has significant benefits, no matter your age. A new study has found that fitness in older adults has substantial benefits to brain health, strengthening brain connections and improving long-term brain function. The study also stressed that a healthy brain doesn’t depend on being extremely fit, but simply on engaging in physical activity like running on the treadmill. So get up and get active, it may make your body sore, but your brain will thank you later.
