Why movement matters

Research published in The Lancet (2024) suggests that up to 45% of dementia cases could potentially be reduced through healthier lifestyle choices made throughout life.

One of the most important ways to support your brain is by looking after your heart. Conditions such as obesity, high LDL cholesterol and diabetes can affect your vascular health, which in turn increases your risk of dementia. Regular movement helps keep your heart healthy, and what’s good for your heart is good for your brain.
