- Exercise training has positive effects on brain health, potentially protecting against cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease, possibly through blood factors.
- In experiments, plasma from exercise-trained individuals improved neuronal health in cells exposed to Alzheimer's-related stress and increased neurogenesis in rats without altering cognitive function or amyloid plaque levels.
- The study suggests that these protective effects may be due to lower levels of certain inflammatory molecules in the blood of those who exercise regularly.
