It will stay around a lot longer.

There's actually a lot of research now that's starting to point to the fact that things like dementia and Alzheimer's, late onset specifically, is highly preventable.

And by highly, I mean it's an extraordinarily high number.

You'd have to get a neuroscientist on to really get numbers there.

But it is way more preventable than we realize, specifically from physical activity and exercise as not the only thing there, but a huge component to that.

Lastly, why?

Remember, the way that you move throughout the world has three big components to it.

This could be your brain, spinal cord, it doesn't matter, nerves.

Send a signal.

That's part one.

Part two, those nerves activate or turn on muscles, and then the muscles contract.
