The aging process is often accompanied by deterioration of cognitive functions such as memory, attention, reaction time, and speed of information processing. It’s estimated that 22% of older adults have cognitive impairment. In the United States alone, approximately 5.4 million people over age 70 have mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Analyzing these stats by age group we find that 10% of persons older than 65 years and 50% of those older than 85 years have some form of cognitive impairment. In this video I review the association between exercise and muscle strength with brain health, specifically cognitive decline.

From extensive medical research it has been demonstrated that both muscle weakness and obesity, independently have negative repercussions on physical function and mortality. To make matters worse approximately 10% of older adults over the age of 75 are afflicted with both risk factors, and in medical jargon this double whammy is called sarcopenic obesity. In this video, I review the dangers of this combination of risk factors. However, on a positive note, I also discuss the benefits of exercise as one important ingredient to help mitigate this problem.

With aging there is often an associated decline in physical ability. This may be experienced as difficulty walking a few blocks, climbing stairs, or carrying groceries. This decline may progress from difficulty to complete inability to perform one or more of these activities, which can ultimately result in loss of independence. Strong evidence demonstrates that physical activity and exercise improves physical function and reduces the risk of age-related physical decline in the general aging population.

After a meal, particularly one high in fat, often results in a spike in the triglycerides in our blood. Two out of the many benefits of performing structured moderate to vigorous exercise is its ability to lower post-meal plasma triglyceride and its ability to increase fat oxidation. However, some people are resistant to this exercise benefit. Stick around to learn how you can avoid becoming resistant and how you can best optimize your ability to improve your fat metabolism through exercise.

Respiratory tract infections both upper and lower (i.e. common cold and pneumonia) are some of the most common causes for people to get sick. The good news is that regular physical activity can significantly reduce the risk of contracting these illnesses. In this video I’ll review 5 broad concepts including how much exercise you’ll need to do, and how it prevents these common infections.
