This sport can prevent dementia
Dancing is fun and lifts the spirits. But not only that, sport can even help in various ways to prevent dementia or to slow down the progression of an existing disease.
When we dance, we are physically active, which strengthens our cardiovascular system, improves blood circulation and promotes physical fitness. Regular physical activity has been associated with a lower risk of dementia. Dancing also requires concentration, coordination and memory as you have to remember steps and sequences of movements. This contributes to mental stimulation and can help keep the brain active. On top of that, dancing is in many cases one community activity, where people come together to dance and have fun. Social interactions and maintaining relationships can reduce the risk of dementia and promote mental health. Another plus: Dancing to music can increase well-being and stimulate memory.
Of course, dancing alone does not protect against the development of dementia. However, sport can be a joyful addition to a healthy lifestyle that is the best way to prevent dementia.
