... at least for me: Walking could protect brain against shrinking, US research says. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)
The study suggest that nine miles a week – or in the urban US terms of the data, 72 Pittsburgh city blocks – is the optimum distance for "neurological exercise".
Well, I've walked more than 10 miles in the past two days. And I've been walking like that all my life. I just love to walk. I am never more myself than when I am walking by myself. I don't care much about living long, but I do care about living well. And I say this on the eve of entering my 70th year. (I had to write that, in order to bring the reality home to myself. Oh my.)
May you have the happiest of birthdays, Frank, and enjoy your walk into the rest of your (long) life. :)
