Palm Beach Companion Service’s caregivers have extensive experience helping seniors maintain healthy routines that ultimately benefit both their minds and their moods.
The Mental Benefits of Staying Active
Everyone knows that regular movement benefits the heart, but not as many people are aware of exercise’s positive impact on the mind. In fact, doctors believe that regular activity can stave off Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia. One study that explored this notion tracked the service of women over 65, as well as how many blocks they walked on average.
