Exercise can help treat cognitive problems in seniors

The Daily Mail featured UBC research that found exercising three times a week may reverse the early stages of dementia.

“Studies have shown that exercise can help reduce the risk of developing memory problems, but few studies have looked at whether it can help people who already have these problems get better or keep from getting worse,” said study author Teresa Liu-Ambrose, director of UBC’s aging, mobility, and cognitive neuroscience laboratory.
