"As pharmaceutical companies pour billions into developing new Alzheimer’s treatments, researchers at the University of Bristol and Federal University of São Paulo have uncovered evidence that a far simpler intervention – regular aerobic exercise – might offer comprehensive protection against the disease."

"While current medications may temporarily improve symptoms, they don’t stop the disease’s progression"

"Working with aged rats, researchers implemented an 8-week aerobic exercise program to examine how physical activity affects various markers of brain health."

"The results were remarkable. Exercise led to a roughly 63% reduction in tau tangles and an impressive 76% decrease in amyloid plaques compared to sedentary rats."

"While the research team continues their investigation through human trials and exploration of iron-targeting drugs, their current findings suggest that integrating regular exercise into daily life could serve as a powerful tool in the growing arsenal against Alzheimer’s disease."
