Workout Equipment

If you keep up your cardio training while getting older may result in a younger brain says new research.

After examining the brains of two groups of older people of which one group was doing a minimum of 180 minutes a week of aerobic exercise while the other group not reached 90 minutes a week the aerobically active subjects exhibited more small-diameter vessels with less twisting and exhibiting a vessel pattern similar to younger adults than the less active group.

The brain’s blood vessels naturally narrow and become more tortuous with advancing age but by staying active this process seems to slow down. As a result the people with younger brains are also more likely to stay active trough out their lives.

This is another important indicator that it is important for the elderly to stay active to lead a longer productive life.
