运动如何改善大脑健康?阿尔茨海默病协会推出全新日常挑战


2026年5月12日 / 美国东部时间上午10:28 / 哥伦比亚广播公司新闻

《CBS早间新闻》正与赞助商阿尔茨海默病协会合作推出三集系列节目《大脑健康:从认知到行动》,探讨人们可以养成的健脑习惯,这些习惯或有助于降低日后罹患痴呆症的风险。

阿尔茨海默病协会的一项最新调查显示,近九成成年人认为,随着年龄增长维持大脑健康非常重要。但91%的受访者表示不知道该如何维持大脑健康。

“阿尔茨海默病协会的越来越多研究表明,生活方式会对大脑健康产生影响,”阿尔茨海默病协会首席执行官兼主席乔安妮·派克说道,“其中包括营养、运动、睡眠和人际联结等方面。”

该协会推出了一项“六步挑战”,以帮助指导人们养成健康的生活方式。

派克在接受《CBS早间新闻》联合主持人盖尔·金采访时表示,该挑战的理念是“思考如何每天采取简单易行的行动,来维持并改善大脑健康”,“这些都是你可以每天融入生活的事情”。

运动对大脑健康的重要性

派克指出,增加体育活动与改善血液流动和大脑功能有关。这与更好的认知能力相关,同时对情绪、压力和睡眠都有好处。研究表明,运动还与更低的痴呆症风险相关联。

“散步和体育活动对大脑非常有益,”派克说道。

增加运动量并不一定意味着要在健身房待上数小时。派克建议,可以考虑通过简单的方式将运动融入日常作息。运动日志有助于保持运动的连贯性。

“不妨想想,除了散步之外,或许还可以园艺、跳舞,做一些你喜欢的事情,并定期增加运动量,以此积累动力,”派克说,“最终你需要做到每周数次、每次30至45分钟的体育活动。”

How can movement boost your brain health? Alzheimer’s Association unveils new daily challenge

May 12, 2026 / 10:28 AM EDT / CBS News

“CBS Mornings” is partnering with our sponsor the Alzheimer’s Association for a three-part series, “Brain Health: From Awareness to Action,” to explore the brain-healthy habits people can establish that may help lower the risk of dementia later in life.

A recent survey by the Alzheimer’s Association found that nearly 9 in 10 adults say maintaining brain health as they age is very important. However, 91% of those surveyed said they didn’t know how to maintain it.

“There is a growing body of research from the Alzheimer’s Association that shows lifestyle can impact your brain health,” said Alzheimer’s Association CEO and president Joanne Pike. “These are things like nutrition, movement, sleep and connection between people.”

The organization has developed a “6-Step Challenge” to help guide healthy lifestyle changes.

The idea is to “think about how you can take easy, actionable steps every day to maintain and grow your brain health,” Pike told “CBS Mornings” co-host Gayle King. “These are things that you can incorporate every day.”

The importance of movement for brain health

Increased physical activity is linked to better blood flow and brain function, Pike said. It is linked to better cognition and has benefits for mood, stress and sleep. Research shows it is also linked to a lower risk of dementia.

“Walking and physical activity is great for the brain,” Pike said.

Adding more movement doesn’t necessarily mean spending hours at the gym. Instead, Pike suggested thinking about easy ways to incorporate it into your existing routine. An exercise log can help with consistency.

“Think about not only walking, but maybe gardening or dancing, doing something you enjoy, and increase that on a regular basis in order to build that momentum,” Pike said. “You ultimately want to get to 30 to 45 minutes (of physical activity) several times a week.”

More information about the Alzheimer’s Association’s “(re)think your brain” initiative and “6-Step Challenge” is available online at rethinkyourbrain.org. Users can sign up for the challenge there, and elect to receive daily action steps and guidance via text or email.
