Can exercise help reduce the risk of dementia even if it's by a little bit?

Asked a year ago

Is it true that doing regular exercise can help with the risk of dementia? As I grow older, I start getting scared of things like dementia and I am doing everything possible to exercise my mind and body. So, does anyone know if exercise can be good at decreasing the risk of dementia?

Regular exercise can reduce the risk of dementia by improving brain function and reducing the risk of other conditions that can contribute to cognitive decline. It does this by improving blood flow to the brain, increasing neuroplasticity, reducing inflammation and stress levels, and reducing comorbidities like hypertension and diabetes which are all risk factors for dementia.
