Despite predictions that up to 100 million people worldwide will be diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease by 2050, pharmaceutical giants announced earlier this year that new research on therapeutics will be brought to a halt. Fortunately, the pursuit of a therapeutic treatment for Alzheimer’s has been given a lifeline after new research found that physical exercise can allow new nerve cells to enable cognitive improvements such as learning and memory. The findings suggest that exercising might also be effective in restoring some brain health and function in patients affected by the disease.
