How to Get a Massive Brain Boost | Kirk Erickson, PhD | The Exam Room Podcast
The relationship between physical activity and brain health is explored.
Kirk Erickson, PhD, the director of translational neuroscience at Advent Health Research Institute, explains that physical activity can significantly reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease regardless of how long a person has been sedentary. He stresses studies that show that it is never too late to experience substantial benefits.
Dr. Erickson also discusses the mechanics of how exercise boosts brain function, including increased blood flow and stimulation. The conversation also touches on the importance of strength training and the need for additional research to understand the optimal amount and intensity of exercise.
Additionally, he talks about the potential of blood tests to predict Alzheimer's and the significance of modifying risk factors through lifestyle changes rather than solely relying on pharmaceuticals.
Dr. Erickson joins Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast at the International Conference on Nutrition in Medicine.
