Having a healthy body leads to a healthier mind, reducing the risk of clinical depression and dementia in later life, new research has showed. Scientists at Bristol University have found that physical exercise can reduce the risk of cognitive impairment, dementia or Alzheimer's in older people by between 30 and 40 per cent. Studies were carried out on 17 subjects aged 70 or above, who were observed for between five and 21 years, and all showed a reduced risk of these mental health problems.
