A study says moderate exercise several times a week is the best way for the over 50s to keep their brains in good working order.
Australian researchers say combining aerobic activities, such as swimming, cycling or jogging, with muscle-strengthening exercises is most effective.
They support the idea that taking up exercise at any age is worthwhile.

Exercise is essential for brain and body health. I was always told to imagine exercise as being the vehicle that carries fuel to all the parts (stations) of the body. Without exercise, the brain doesn't get enough 'deliveries'.
