Walking protects memory and sharpens mental acuity

A Harvard study has found that walking is the most effective exercise for protecting memory and maintaining mental sharpness. Researchers recommend taking at least 3,800 steps daily to lower the risk of dementia. Walking is a low-impact exercise that requires no special equipment. It improves blood circulation, cardiovascular fitness, and strengthens various muscle groups. For beginners, starting with ten-minute walks a few times a week is suggested. Gradually increasing duration and intensity can enhance fitness levels.
