Keeping The Brain Young

Dr. Andrew Forster, Internal Medicine Physician at Baptist Health Primary Care, considers physical activity is very important for dementia prevention. He explains regular exercise and social interaction are good for keeping the brain young. The minimum weekly exercise recommendations are 2 ½ hours of moderate aerobic activity and 1 ¼ hours of vigorous activity. “If you can do more, that's great," the doctor says.
