Daily physical exercise, especially dancing, could slow down the age-related decline in mental and physical health, keeping you young for long, suggests a study. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A group of researchers revealed that dancing could have the most significant anti-ageing effect on the brain of old-aged people. Moreover, it could also help increase balance, which is an important everyday function, essential for\u00a0preventing falls and improving mobility.<\/p>\n<p>The research team enrolled elderly people (average age=68\u00a0years)\u00a0who were asked to engage in either an eighteen-month weekly course of learning dance steps, or endurance and flexibility training.<\/p>\n<p>The conventional fitness training regime included common exercises such as cycling or Nordic walking,\u00a0while the dance course included steps from various genres such as Jazz, Square, Latin-American and Line Dance.\u00a0For the latter group, steps, arm-patterns, positions, pace, and rhythms were changed regularly to keep the participants in a continuous learning process. Thus, it became challenging for them to remember these things under the pressure of time and without the instructor\u2019s help.<\/p>\n<p>Both groups displayed an increase in the hippocampus, an area of the brain susceptible to age-related decline,\u00a0and affected by diseases like Alzheimer&#8217;s. However, only dancing resulted in conspicuous behavioural changes with regard to improved balance.<\/p>\n<p>The research group stated that dancing is a powerful tool, and building up on these results to set up new fitness regimens that have greater anti-ageing effects on the brain could be of value.<\/p>\n<p><em>Source:\u00a0Frontiers in Human Neuroscience Journal<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-28529\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1mg.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/rsz_shutterstock_441343237.jpg\" alt=\"1mg\" title=\"Dancing To Your Favourite Tunes May Keep You Young For Long\" width=\"630\" height=\"380\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[55,112,165],"class_list":["post-28527","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-1mg-news","tag-anti-aging","tag-fitness","tag-old-age"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Dancing To Your Favourite Tunes May Keep You Young For Long - Tata 1mg Capsules<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Want to delay signs of ageing?
