Although fulfilling the standards of physical activity, people with a seated lifestyle showed signs of faster brain accumulation.
Excessive seating can lead to a decrease in brain volume and illnesses, even if you play sports regularly. According to Sciencealert, a sedentary lifestyle negatively affects brain health in people aged 50 years old.
According to the study, 87% of 404 study participants took place the recommended standard of physical activity -at least 150 minutes a week -but certainly those who spent more time sitting or lying down that showed the worst results in the trials. They also recorded signs of neurodegeneration, in particular, the faster thinning of the hippocampus – a section of the brain, critical for memory and one of the first suffering during Alzheimer’s disease.
Scientists have noticed participants for a week with the help of fitness trackers, and then for seven years, cognitive tests and an MRI canting of the brain are conducted. It has become a sedentary lifestyle, regardless of the level of physical activity, can accelerate brain aging.
The strongest correlation between the seat and the reduction in brain volume is detected in people with an increase in the genetic risk of the development of Alzheimer’s disease.
Although these results do not cancel the benefits of physical activity, they add a significant argument in favor of not staying in a seating position for a long time. According to those who are set, even short breaks in traffic traffic can have a significant impact on brain health.
A study conducted with scientists from the University of Wanderbilt, Pittsburgh University and Seoul National University has been published at Alzheimer’s & Dementia Magazine.
We reminded, earlier reported that scientists from the USA were called a certain age at which brain activity worsened.
