Exercise Reduces Cognitive Decline

Research in the field of aging and cognitive function indicates that individuals who are physically active have a reduced risk of impaired cognitive function. Cognition refers to a range of high-level brain functions like remembering information, and comprehending ideas and speech. Regular physical activity, particularly during the middle and later years of life, appears to protect against cognitive impairment in later life.

I have noticed on all your slides, you are missing one last "secret" or tip. If you say 6 secrets, there should be 6 - not 5. If you say 10, let there be 10 - not 9.

Just a thought.
