Scientists at the University of Missouri found that only ten days of physical activity can lead to early changes in the brain due to Alzheimer's disease. The results of the study were published in the Journal of Applied Physiology.
Experience has shown that rats, which have been deprived of ten days, have increased the production of free radicals in the hippocampus, in the area of the brain, which is responsible for memory and study. Scientists have explained that free radicals are active oxygen, which damage cells through oxidation. The animals also had a decrease in the sensitivity of insulin, the ability to distribute glucose cells from food to food. This metabolic disorder increases the danger of diabetes.
In addition, scientists have found that ten days after physical inactivity, the brain of rodents raised the level of proteins related to Alzheimer's disease. This is an irreversible neurodegenerative disease characterized by the gradual deterioration of memory, thinking and other intellectual functions.
According to scientists, regular physical activity is crucial for both physical and mental health. At the same time, you don't need to spend your whole free time on exercise to improve your self-care. Previous research has shown that the biggest benefits are received from people who begin to train after completely inactivity, not those who sometimes pass regular exercises.
