or scored the highest had better cognitive function at the end of that 10-year period. And this

is the most important part, a 35% lower risk of dementia of all types.

We're talking about those included in the genetic risk, those who have a family history of it.

The possible reasons, obviously, cardiovascular fitness improves our blood vessels that supply our brain and our vital organs.

That decreases our risk, another reason to get out there and start moving.

You gotta boost. So what are some of the ways that we can boost our cardio fitness?

Yeah, you know, everyone knows the tried and tested methods. When you talk about things like swimming,
