Jogging teen, his older brother

New research shows that joggers in teenage years are less likely to suffer from dementia later in life, according to the Deccan Chronicle.

The study by experts from the University of Toronto (Canada) was conducted based on the hypothesis that running brain stimulation and memory conservation.

Habits in teenage years and age 20 can affect brain health later in life.

The work of Martin Wojtowicz and colleagues shows that the efficiency of jogging is much more significant if people start the habit in their early teens.

The team followed 80 mice for 6 weeks. Half of them are exercised regularly. The results showed that mice that exercised regularly had long-term improvements in their ability to learn and memory. They also have fewer signs of forming plaque in the brain leading to dementia than the rest.

Experts say the finding is a warning sign to all of us that teenage and 20-year-old habits can affect brain health later in life.

'Jogging is thought to boost cognitive function in animals and humans ,' Wojtowicz said.
