Study finds a 30-minute brisk walk can improve memory for up to 24 hours in older adults.

A new study from University College London shows that moderate to vigorous exercise, such as a 30-minute brisk walk, can enhance memory for up to 24 hours in individuals aged 50 to 83. The study of 76 participants found that increased physical activity, less sitting, and at least six hours of sleep were linked to better memory scores the following day. The research suggests that simple lifestyle changes can benefit cognitive health in older adults, though further studies with larger samples are needed to confirm the findings.
