A recent article from the Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society revealed that exercise is positively associated with episodic memory and aging. As everyone knows, memory loss is as sure a thing with growing age as Thanksgiving is to imminent weight gain. However, just as watching what you eat during those holidays can keep you out of those pants that are a next size up, exercising regularly can help you remember where you left the car keys late into your twilight years! The study took 29 people ages 18-31 and 31 people 55-82 and assigned them physical activity, ending with a face-name relational memory task to test for improvement in episodic memory. The study found improvement in episodic memory in the older patients, compared to their sedentary counterparts. There was no significant difference in younger adults.
