Summary
Exercise can delay the onset of memory-related diseases such as Alzheimer's and improve our ability to form and retain long-term memories of events and facts, according to researcher Wendy Suzuki. She was motivated to investigate exercise further after noticing improvements in her own cognition, which reduced in her father who eventually developed dementia.
