A combination of social, mental, and physical stimulation is the best medicine for a healthy life. Even after a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease, stimulating activities should be continued and modified as needed. Regular exercise can help patients cope better with the impact of this disorder.

The brain benefits greatly from the increased blood circulation brought about and sustained by regular physical activity. As the disease progresses, it is still worthwhile to have outlets for physical activity, to maintain physical strength and elevate mood. For patients in later stages of the disease, some activities such as daily routine walks should still be continued. Increased blood circulation resulting from regular physical activity has been shown to enhance brain function and is one example of ways in which exercise and movement assist those affected by this ailment.
