Question

Mary is worried because dementia is common in her family. She does not want to get that disease. What can she do to decrease her risk?

A) Watch fitness videos to learn new technique
B) Eat balanced meals without excercise
C) Preform at least moderate intensity excercise regularly
D) Preform low intensity excercise each week

Answer 1

I would say C, preform at least moderate intensity exercise regularly.

Answer 2

C) Preform at least moderate intensity excercise regularly

Step-by-step explanation:

Dementia is a disease that causes memory loss, disorientation in time and space, lack of concentration and impaired thinking. It is common in the elderly, but may manifest before that. To prevent this, it is recommended that people exercise regularly, with moderate load, except for older people who should practice low load exercise. When the body exercises, muscle tissue releases the irisin hormone, which circulates in the body and is able to improve cognitive ability. Therefore, the third alternative is correct.
