Did you know that housework has mental benefits? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. If you’re thinking of hiring a housekeep for yourself or your aging parents, you may want to think again. New research shows that exercise, including that which people get through housework, actually comes with the benefit of protecting the brain. Often as people age, they slow down, but those who keep moving, stooping, bending, scrubbing and vacuuming have quite the mental advantage. This is according to new research that followed adults with and without cognitive impairment for over 20 years. This study, which was published in the medical journal Neurology, is unique because it not only measured cognition and mobility on patients over time, but unlike most studies, the post mortem brain examination gave valuable, indisputable evidence between the link. So get moving and stay moving. This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas a global leader in anti-aging and preventative health.
