4,000 steps a day for a better brain

A recent study by the UCLA research, published in the pre-print December edition of the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, showed that walking more than 4,000 steps a day can improve attention and mental skills in adults 60 and older.

The study participants were divided into one of two groups: those who walked more than 4,000 steps a day and those who walked fewer steps.
