As a result, the study concluded that while exercise can’t stop dementia, it can delay its onset.
For some, this could be a matter of months, for others, a matter of years, depending on when they begin to improve their cardiovascular fitness.
One possible reason why people with good cardiovascular fitness experience late onset is because their red blood cells are healthier and larger, allowing them to carry more oxygen to the brain.
Dr. Scott Kaiser, of the Pacific Brain Center, explained the findings: “It cannot be proven that it was poor physical fitness that caused the dementia. But, having said that, the association was very clear, not only in the strength of the association but in the nature of the association.
