Wellness While Walking 289. Add This to Your Walk for Better Brain Function + Judy Benjamin’s Walking Tips (From Her Walk Across the US!)
Recent research found a way to enhance movement that allowed study participants to reduce their levels of cognitive decline, and we talk about how we can incorporate that add-on activity to our own walks or other movement activities we do! And we're back with Judy Benjamin, the 81-year-old walking across America to highlight how we can affect the impact of Alzheimer's disease. Today, she's sharing her best tips for walking!
