Walking just 3,000 steps a day could help slow Alzheimer’s-related brain changes, according to new research. Scientists discovered that physical activity was linked to less buildup of harmful tau proteins and nearly half the cognitive and functional decline, even in people already showing early signs of the disease. The strongest benefits appeared at 5,000 to 7,500 daily steps, suggesting that the popular 10,000-step goal may not be necessary.
