Dance Your Way to Improved Aging
If you read our article on Enlightened Aging last week, you’ll know that it’s possible to grow older with resilience and foresight.
A great way to do just that?
Dance it out!
A recent study found that dancing can actually increase the area of the brain that typically declines with age and lead to improved balance. It can also stimulate brain activity, slow cognitive decline, and the exercise itself is great for your heart, lungs, muscles, and joints. It’s really a win-win!
If you’ve never been a Dick Van Dyke though, how can you get started with dancing now? Meet Learn To Dance!
